Best Answer

If you are asking about a "springer firing system" The answer is NO do not dryfire it.

When you shoot a single cock springer rifle or gun with a pellet in the chamber, there is a moment where the piston actually slows down just before the pellet is fired down the barrel. If you have no pellet in the chamber the piston slams against the end of the chamber and this will eventually ruin the chamber. Dry firing a Co2 gun will not hurt it. You will just waist Co2.

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.
