Yep, also called a can cannon.
Apparently per ATF regs, the 'barrel" inside these has to be partially blocked just forward of the chamber so that a real cartridge with a bullet won't fit in -- but a blank will.
And when the blank is fired the pressure comes out sideways not straightforward because the straight forward path is blocked.
Your turn!

Steyr?......
Model 1908.
.32 ACP
3.6" barrel, which can be tipped down for chamber loading, hence the big lever in the middle of the gun.
Made until 1929.
A new version came out a few years later called the 1908/34 which featured a thicker slide.
Which meant the rear portion of the thicker slide directly above the safety had to be machined out so the safety could be swung up and still clear the metal.
A shorter barreled and stubbier-framed version came out in 1909;
here's a photo of that pocket model variant.

An in-law owns one of these, but I snagged these photos from the internet rather than
taking a picture of the one I know of in real life.
Forgot the best pic
