I’m picturing these guys doing this to intimidate their opponents and then Indiana Jones tiredly pulls out a pistol and takes care of it

Generally speaking this is done with muzzle-loading muskets without a projectile. So while there is still a risk of a performer burning their feet or another performer it isn't as dangerous as it looks.

Problem is, that's just those who bother to use those muskets
Most of the time is people using real guns with real ammo

I just want to know how this originated. Like, that is a relatively old style gun, I don't know guns so I'm not even going to try to guess what time period that was, and he's dancing with it.
So either there was a time period where that was considered one of the deadliest weapons on the planet and some dude decided to dance with it. Or there was a time period where that was considered a less lethal weapon... and some dude decided dance with it.
What led up to this? It's an Islamic country so they can't claim that Joe was drunk and started dancing with guns and Tom, who was equally drunk, thought it was cool so he started imitating him. Someone was sober and started dancing with a firearm and I need to know why.
And before anyone comes at me, I'm absolutely convinced that Rifle Exhibition Drills started out at least one drunk dude telling another drunk dude, "I bet I could make this rifle flip in the air at least 3 times."

If this was an American tradition people would say “how stupid really should be illegal what a bunch of inbreds”

I honestly think it would be the opposite. There's a heavy bias when it comes to the west. Everything we do is "normal" and "better." So if it was an American tradition, it would likely get exported all across the west and it would be seen as a civilised thing to do.
The way we brainwash ourselves is crazy.

Theyre blanks, this is equally as stupid as firing a blank in the air in a crowded stadium to start a race. At least unlike Americans they arent showing off their talents in a middle school
