I'm in the bad idea camp. Negative portrayal of firearms and actors have been killed and injured by blank firing guns.
Man, that is SUCH a bad idea.Part of the point is to scare the audience.
At the risk of being obvious how about a starter pistol? They are built to make noise without loosing any dangerous particles (that DOESNT mean its safe, just safer). They fire .22 blanks (usually primer only), have a solid (plugged) barrel, and are really cheap. Just watch to make sure noone is close to the Cylinder/Barrel gap, and it should be perfectly OK.
Another option that may work are the Gamo CO2 airguns. You may be able to "fire" the CO2 with no projectile, creating a noise with no danger.
