Just hoping for some personal experience before I make such a large $$ commitment!

There's three main choices
1) 204 shotgun primer (I don't know how loud it is, but expect it to be roomsafe
2) 9mm/380 shell these are quieter than thunder B, used in UK as indoor round
3) Shotgun blank, much louder than thunder B, used in outdoor UK game

So if the whole field is running proper ear protection then great. If not you'll need to relegate them to being set off a hundred feet or so from personal.
Ear damage is permanent; kind of like getting lazed. 20-30 years from now when you can't hear for shit there will be some more than hurt feelings.
And yes I have been in close proximity to someone cooking one off and I would definitely rate it as too loud. That is coming from someone who's already had their hearing wrecked by gunfire before ear protectors were in style and at-guns going off all day on the range.

The 9mm percussion blank and 9mm PAK blank are not as loud as 9mm luger round.
I find it ironic people accept thunder B but disallow 9mm percussion blanks. Thunder B is a lot louder than VTG.
