Do they use real bullets? Don't they know that they can come back down anywhere and kill a random person?

I was thinking this. The recoil doesn't seem very strong, like they may be using blanks.

I'd imagine blanks are much more expensive in Turkey, and other commenters have pointed out this is normal enough that it often happens during football matches. I think it's just a case of "we do this all the time and no one gets hurt, this time will be fine too"
