Yes
BUT....just so you know, a blank fired at close range can still kill.
Confused?
Try firing a blank from say a 303 rifle CLOSE range at a watermelon. Watch it explode.
Although there is no metal projectile, you still have ALL the energy released from the explosive charge - which exits the gun/rifle with extreme velocity and heat - sufficient to blow holes in things.
I mention this purely in case you were planning a "trick / stunt" on yourself or a friend - it can (and often does) go horribly wrong.
Blanks can still kill - contrary to popular belief.

Sure. That's probably how Bruce Lee's son was killed. Be aware that blanks discharge debris that can injury, maim, blind or even kill so be careful.
In Lee's case a bullet was probably lodged in the barrel of the gun that was used in his last film. When a blank cartridge was fired behind the lodged bullet, the bullet plunged out of the barrel with lethal force.

Yes you can, but if you want to fire more than one shot out of a semi-auto gun it requires that you install a barrel restrictor at the muzzle, it makes the opening much smaller so you can maintain enough barrel pressure to cycle the action chambering the next round. However these must be secured very well as the force can break them loose and shoot them out.

yes, as long as you are using ammo chambered for you gun. if you are using it in a semi auto, you might need a blank firing adapter because blanks are not powerful enough to cycle the action properly

Yes. You can purchase them online at www.cheaperthandirt.com
Be aware that no one knows that you are shooting blanks, so exercise the same caution as with live rounds.

Yes, and while you've gotten some pretty good answers already, barrels gets FILTHY from firing them.
