Yeah, i mean, the two things you mostly NEED to know are "do not EVER have your finger inside the trigger guard unless you plan to shoot the thing" and "do not EVER point a firearm at anything you do not intend to hurt real bad". Oh, and "know whether the safety is on or off".

(It was kind of a humblebrag since honestly none of us other actors were ever likely to be in a position to fire blanks in a movie or even be in the kind of movie that could afford the insurance to have blanks fired in it)

There was an actor who died by discharging a blank into his temple. What they don't tell you is that blanks may not have a bullet in them, they have to pack in WAY more gunpowder to get the guns to cycle. And that expanding gas is hot and generates a LOT of pressure.

In movies made now, they often won't even bother with blanks, they'll dub in the sounds and use VFX to create muzzle flashes. But it's why in movies before that became more cost effective the recoil on a .50AE Desert Eagle is like a .22LR target pistol.
