Default What movie guns can be fired with no blank adaptor?
Wondering, is there anything that will cycle blanks without any adaptor?

Yeah, a mini gun..... Other than that, only manually operated guns will cycle with blanks and live rounds interchangeably.

A revolver doesn't need a blank adaptor.

A Gatling Gun probably doesn't need any adaption. Bolt guns, lever guns, anything that doesn't fire semi/full auto basically.

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).
