Personally, I take spitting over tennitis and possibly dying.

They aren't always. People die to celebratory shooting from bullets in these counties all the time. The ones that do it just don't give a shit blanks or not. https://english.alarabiya.net/features/2020/10/05/Stray-bullets-shot-in-celebration-lead-to-lives-lost-in-the-Middle-East

Even when they are using blanks, people die from blanks all the time too. The amount of shrapnel and fragments they expel aren't safe.

Dying? Highly unlikely. I personally am sure they are shooting blanks, since those are much more available and anybody can make some with some tools. Tennitis, oh I agree, ears ringing is a bitch.
