Depends on the cartridge. There were different blanks for the M-60 machinegun and for the M-14 rifle- they needed different power levels to operate different actions. The 7.62 NATO blank cartridge has a different shape than regular 7.62 NATO brass- the blanks are generally not considered reloadable.

What would happen if the end of a 7.62mm blank crimpped round was sawn off?
There is a potential for unintentional ignition of the powder inside the cartridge. If you're dead set on doing this, you first need to uncrimp the end, and (safely) dump out the powder. Once this is done, you want to thoroughly clean out the cartridge and remove any residual powder. An ammonia-based solution (such as household window cleaner) would be good to use here.
Could a blank gun kill someone?
Yes, people have died from being shot with blank cartridges. While blanks do not contain a metal bullet, they send a high pressure jet of gas out of the barrel- and sometimes the paper wadding used to hold the powder in the cartridge. Blanks are NOT cap pistols, and a blank firing gun should not be treated as a toy.

Blanks will not kill you while the latter will. _____ A real "bullet" has a distinct projectile ("bullet") attached to the front of the cartridge, while with a blank, the brass cartridge is simply crimped closed.
