For m/l blanks as DJS suggests a homemade paper tube works, you could drop the powder to a grain or 2 quite easy and all that would come out the barrel would be a bit of smoldering tissue. Reliable ignition would be your biggest problem. If you used pyrodex it would go off with more of a pfut than a bang if its not under compression or much of a restriction ie ball in front of it.

You want a small framed gun so I would suggest the 1862 colt navy, its a 5 shot .36, lovely dainty thing.

chain fire would be no worry, what happens there would be the ball firing with the chamber not in station so going along the outside of the frame rather than the barrel, you are not using balls.
Keeping the powder in you would use a wad, perhaps tissue pressed on top the powder maybe with a light brushing of grease to make it stick better.

Well you say that but chain fire is not great when you are sat on a horse, and you are not allowed to discard your weapon (we have strict safety drills). So you just have to hold the gun up until its finished.Originally Posted by Smokeless Coal
Would a wad be man enough for the job, and do the caps ever work loose if in a holster and bouncing around?
