No. Semi-autos depend on the force of the pressure and/or gas generated by the projectile exiting the muzzle to cycle. Blanks don't really have a projectile, so they don't generate enough force to cycle the actions unless the barrel is partially plugged (the blank adapter/restrictor basically serves the same function that the bullet itself would serve in normal operation).
