A lead styphnate primer releases quite a bit of energy when it goes off......who knows what could happen if the anvil broke up?
I'd say there's every possibility of a tiny fragment going through the hole.

But not regulations on blank rounds that also have a primer and a charge?

not that i think it is a valid idea, but just because... fwd venting blank firers are banned, so the s*** can't go fwd, only up

Not that I think the primer-projectile theory is correct (more of a plain old fire risk IMO), but blank rounds are either crimped or have captive plastic caps which prevents the vast majority of the debris from coming out with much force

I've never seen or handled a blank firer, so couldn't comment......and we all know what a pigs' breakfast some of the regulations can be.
