It's definitely not recommended but I have done it, cases often split but with the gun far from the face it is generally not dangerous. The accuracy is so poor it is hardly worth firing. That is why some revolvers are supplied with interchangeable cylinders for LR or WMR, because one cylinder is not good for both.
