What's the report on that like? Could it be used in urban areas or too loud?

Less than a 22 going off, maybe about like a CB. If you can use a nail gun in the urban area, this would be not much different. It's just a little POP

Good afternoon to you sir, I trust the weekend has been treating you well thus far and this finds you well.
If you look at the website he's suggesting only using power tool blanks and not starter pistol blanks.
Up here pretty much all the lumber yards will have a power tool section that includes different power level .22 blanks.
Its similar to a Hilti setup, but I believe typically the Hilti shots come in a plastic strip and the Winchester ones that we see up here are packed for individual use.
Hopefully that made sense and was useful for you or someone out there who's interested in these adapters.
As an aside, a friend of ours used to make them when he worked in the machine shop there in Edmonton.
All the best to you in your hunts this fall.
Dwayne Evening Dwayne, thanks!

Yeah they are pretty cool little devices, and I see yours is just as accurate as the ones I have. I've yet to shoot anything but gophers with mine, but I think this fall I will take it after some grouse.
I shot some old Remington power loads through mine and ended up with a very sticky brown residue in the barrel that took some effort to remove, so I'll stick to the modern stuff from now on. This was in the .444 and I think I also pushed em a little hard, will stick with lower level ones, as you said its plenty.

That's awesome! Should make for good double duty. Look forward to hearing how it works on a critter.
