    I've fired lots of blanks

    Lots of blanks are used in construction and industry. In construction, lots of .22 blanks are used, in various strengths, to do things like nail a piece of wood to the floor. The blanks are not expensive.

    Those I have seen used in industry was 30 years ago in a steel mill. They were used to drive nails through steel plate into ingot molds made of gray iron. In different steel mills, I saw tools that had what looked like a 6-shot revolver cylinder, and different mills used .38 S&W or .38 Special blanks. I would not be surprised if there were other powder actuated tools using blanks in other calibers.

    All of the above blanks were used in fantastic quantities, and were not expensive. I never tried firing them in a .38 revolver.

    I do have a lot of military blanks. I've never fired any of them. Most I got just for the brass, and were at firesale prices. All are in rifle calibers.
