As a side note, blank rounds are visually quite distinct, anyone loading them would notice if they ever saw a real round before.
Though this brings me back to the interesting metaphor of raising a staff in the scene with Natsuhi/Beatrice duel. It's clearly a metaphor for aiming a firearm. Yet Dress-Beatrice, mentioned in the next scene, is never described or drawn with a staff, but Suit-Beatrice and Eva-Beatrice are.
