You could try with a fake round, just check to see if the firing pin hit the percussion cap.

even with ablank cartridge there is a massive amount of gas produced, put your finger over the end of the barrel and you WILL lose it [V]

But could you get away with it if you had a cartridge with a detonator (percussion cap) but no charge?

whats in a percussion cap ? fulmanate of mercury ? how big a pop would it make, how well is your finger sealing the barrel, this is producing more questions than answers, i want my mummy []
