Usually pretty hard to mistake the two. Blanks are intentionally made to look different. And I was watching the news, if your on a movie set and handling firearms as a prop person etc, there is a certification and training program or you can't use actual firing weapons.
I've seen a guy get hit with the wadding from a blank round, he was a good distance away from the pistol shot, and it still hit him with a lot of speed, again its why we were trained to aim away even with a BFA.
