Close range.
Technically 'point blank` means the shot doesn't drop more than one bore diameter before striking, but the term is generally used to mean 'real close`.

"Firing the shot so close to an enemy that you can see the white in their eyes."
At least that is the best explanation I've heard. In other languages, "point blank" shot is referred to "burning-clothes", which means the shot was so close, the powder could burn the clothes in the weapon.

You level the cannon straight ahead of you at the charging enemies bellies and pull the cord........
Ka-Boom!
You have just created a gaping hole in their line at point blank range.
g-day!
