Jack, don't worry about him firing it, as it's a Warnant system "flobert" type that's missing the hinged breechblock:

This was a weak point, and the arms of the block often cracked at the screw holes, especially if someone tried regular .22 ammo.

A 1915 gunsmith's parts catalog listed unfinished warnant breechblocks @ $8 a dozen!:
