The Nagant cartirdge is smaller in every category other than length. So while it might fire in the Frenchicon, I can't see it being accurate. It's doubtful it would blow up as it would have a hard time developing high pressure due to gas escape. Plus commercial Nagant ammo is underpowered as it is.

So it might fire but why would you want to?
