yes you can you fire .22 rounds out of a No.8 rifle.
To be able to manufacture firearms (modifications which allow something which is not intended to fire live rounds into something which does fire live rounds is considered manufacturing) requires a Type 7 or Type 10 Federal Firearms Licence. On top of that, you wouldn't be able to - even if you did manage to get a live round to fire through a cap gun, the most likely end result would be that it would end up exploding, which would come with the risk of injury or death to the firer. Such replicas have to be completely incapable of firing live rounds, or else they would be classed as firearms by the BATFE - the BATFE even confiscated 30 airsoft guns imported from Taiwan, claiming that they could somehow be converted to fire live rounds.
The number of live rounds in a firing squad can vary, but typically there are more executioners than necessary live rounds to give each member plausible deniability in case they are unsure which shot was fatal. For example, in the United States, a typical firing squad consists of five members, with four of them firing live rounds and one firing a blank round.
Most blank guns are simply not strong enough to contain the pressure of a live cartridge.
9mm PTB gas bullets. It is not a real gun, and does not fire live ammunition. Do not attempt to run live rounds through it. <<<<<<<<<< Agree with above. It does NOT use any bullets. This is a blank firing gun. It uses the 9mm PAK blank cartridge- which has no bullet. Do not attempt to fire any standard ammunition in this gun- it would be extremely dangerous
Does not matter what you use, a blank gun does not fire live ammunition.
Single-shot firearms and manual repeaters such as revolvers, lever guns and bolt actions can fire blanks same as they would live ammunition. Just load and fire as normal. Automatic (both semi and full) firearms can fire blanks, but will not cycle the action without a special device to restrict the flow of gas or increase recoil. Military guns generally have blank fire adapters designed for them to be used for training purposes. They often screw into or in place of the flash suppressor. Some pistols also have such adapters which can attach to the barrel or just replace the barrel with a special blank firing barrel. Most civilian guns do not have such adapters available and may have to be altered to fire blanks with the action cycling properly. This is what is often done with prop guns used in movies.

Term is cartridge, not bullet (bullet is the projectile part of a cartridge). Depending on WHICH of the Umarex blanks, a 9mm parabellum cartridge is a fair match, but not exact. The blank guns were designed so that they can NOT chamber and/or fire live ammo.
Yes it is legal...here's why. The BATF cateregorizes this as a non firearm. It is considered such because it is made to fire blanks only and can not be modified to fire live ammunition. While most paintball guns are more physically dangerous because they fire a projectile they too fall into the same category.
It all depends on the City and Country where you live.
Actors using guns in their acting roles use blank firing weapons, which don't produce the full report that guns firing live rounds make (live gunfire is later recorded and dubbed into the movies in order to maintain a realistic sound). Other than that, there's the use of earplugs. While soldiers can do this at the range, it's not feasible thing to do in an operational environment, and, unfortunately, soldiers active in combat do tend to suffer hearing loss as a result.
