what if catridge with no powder was shot

It happens once to me with 357sig. I was firing a Glock and the difference in recoil/report was noticeable enough that I stopped. Of course it didn't hurt that the round wasn't ejected the bullet was just barely into the rifling, so I could drive it out backwards with a dowel.

I was lucky. If this happened in a competitive environment, the adrenalin might cause one to just rack the slide and fire again
