9mm blanks are much more costly than shotgun primers
9mm blanks may cost about £17:50 for 50
also be careful some 9mm blanks for pistols may not detonate 101% correctly in BFG's
I bought these a while back:
https://www.justbbguns.co.uk/product/534/FLASHBANG-GRENADES/515/OH-SHI-BOOM/2544/9MM-BLANK-AMMO
but they are out of stock and there are longer & different blanks that Fiocchi make
these might work ok but not tried them myself so don't flame me:

shotgun primers cost about £7:50 for 100 - that is getting on for a 1/5th of price

so see if your BFG has a 9mm to .209 shotgun primer adapter

I'm still using my 9mm blanks, they might cost more than .209s but they're a long way from being expensive. I might go back to 209s because I still have over 70 that I hardly use. There isn't much difference between the two really bit the 9mms are significantly louder, especially in small spaces.
I found 209s were 5p a throw and 9mms were 40p a throw (£5 for 100 and £20 for 50 respectively) it's a big difference but neither one is expensive compared to single use pyrotechnics which are often around £3 a throw

I think the main deciding factor though is:
crimped 9mm blanks are a LOT easier to pick up/install with gloves on than tichy - "damn it wtf did that go" 6mm/203 primers
out in the field just seems less fumbling with gloves on to reload a BFG
9mm might be a bit louder but unless you are Mutton Geoff - you know ya got owned
an adapter can knocked up using a bit of imperial metal tubing tbh
(forgot exact sizes but is cheap as chips to do - something a bit bigger than an thick old $hite inner barrel about 20 to 25mm in length)
plop it in, bob's ya uncle - primer adapter for next to nothing & fill/blow ya boots with both types
