Statistically it will almost always be better not to spend the lock. Predator and Lone Wolf will see much more use here, but more than 50% of all shots will result in 3 scores, at least one of which will be a crit.

One miss doesn't justify spending the TL, since the shooter cannot improve, but can do worse (remember, you have to drop the crit).

Assuming the shooter is focused, 2 blanks will occur once in 16 shots. Spending the TL in this case only marginally improves your chances (7 in 16 chance of the same or a worse result than just holding the TL and the crit).
