I’m more surprised the pistol didn’t explode or have other severe damage in that situation. Blank powder and propellant powder are two different animals...as is periodically discovered by somebody that erroneously uses blank powder to reload live ammunition.

Since the prop people apparently weren't too professional and were cutting corners perhaps they used propellant powder in their blanks.
