Opinions? I understand that the power of nail gun blanks can vary.

Shooting .22 PELLETS Using NAIL GUN Blanks?

Well, obviously this is a way to reduce .22 shooting to muzzle-loading speed, since that's exactly what's being illustrated in the video. Loading a pellet-gun pellet to be propelled by a .22 blank charge is essentially reducing the firing of the gun to muzzle-loading speed, since it requires that the projectile be fed from the muzzle and pushed home (or thereabouts) with a ramrod.

Might be a way to go if commercial .22 ammunition becomes completely unavailable.
