Rimfire/Starter Pistol Help

JONOV

Old Mossy Horns
I picked up an old starter pistol/blank gun for dog training. Says .22 but doesn't indicate long, short, etc...which would make sense since it would be really dumb to shoot a projectile in it.

I can't make it fire. Either it's the firing pin, or the .22 short blanks I have are too long. It will cycle the cylinder with the .22 blank shorts I have. It will not ignite fire them.

If I need to get .22 crimps, I will, but i don't want to run around trying to find them if they aren't going to solve the problem. I attached a pic of the gun and blanks with scored primers.

What say you?

It looks like the firing pin is not hitting the rim much.
How bout a photo of the pin protrusion.
