There is a solution.

Dixie Gun Work sells a .32 rimfire "case" that is eccentrically cut in the bottom allowing for .22 rimfire blanks/cases to be inserted as the priming mechanism.

I would get a few of these, shorten them, get some of the starter blanks (the really short ones made by RWS) and put a round ball on the end of the case and it should work fine.

Only thing is, you will have to place the cases in the chambers so the firing pin only hits the rim of the .22 blank, which is no problem.
