What will happen to a pellet gun if you dryfire it?

Most spring Pellet guns should not be dry-fired. When you shoot a spring powered air gun or rifle, the spring compresses the air in the airtube and the compressed air forces the pellet out of the barrel. The compressed air also slows down the spring piston due to the air being compressed. In this way the piston doesn't slam against the end of the chamber. When you dry-fire the rifle without a pellet in the breech the piston has no resistance in the chamber and slams against the end of the airtube. Eventually it will ruin the air tube and the rifle or gun. If you dry-fire a C02 gun nothing will happen no damage will occur.


Can you leave the gamo whisper cocked?

NO! it's not good on the spring. Also NEVER dry fire an air rifle. It will ruin the chamber. When a pellet is fired the compressed air actually slows down the piston at the end of the cycle. If no pellet is in the chamber the piston slams against the tube and will eventually ruin it. If the spring is compressed too long it will loose all it strength over time so never leave it cocked.


Is it bad to dry fire an air pistol?

It's OKAY to dry fire a C02 pistol but do not dry fire a spring or pump pistol or rifle. When the piston in a spring pistol compresses the air inside the chamber to fire the pellet is actually slows down as it decompresses the spring piston just before it fires the pellet out of the chamber. This slowing down Keeps the piston from slamming against the end of the chamber and ruining it. When there is no pellet in the chamber the piston has no resistance and slams against the end of the chamber. This will eventually destroy the piston and the air chamber.
