Dry Firing

[spyderflash540]

Is dry firing bad for your gun?

[robdamanii]

No.

[thepeashooter]

you dry fire your gun? are you dumb? Your going to blow your barrel bearings out!!and that will easily cost you $100 each

[pbhippie ben]

peashooter is lying... It wont blow out the barrel barings... It will blow out the bolt and mess up all of your gun's internals:rolleyes:

[spyderflash540]

I don't actually dry fire my gun. I was just wondering.

[pbhippie ben]

Ok, good...



















You know we were joking right:rolleyes:

[SPPaintball]

it acually wont do anything at all

[pbhippie ben]

It is the same as shooting your marker, except without balls, so obviously it wont do any harm.

I'm sorry if i come off a little bit mean, rough day.

[spyderflash540]

oh, no biggie.

Well...

Dry fireing impulses is supposed to be bad. But you won't do any harm to a spyder.

yeah, dry fireing an Imp without a cloth over the barrel or a tapeworm is bad, but if u have a tapeworm, then dry fireing will do no harm to an impulse.

An imp just can't recock without back pressure from a ball, or as you said, a cloth over the front. A tapeworm simply supplies this needed recocking pressure.

Imps can recock without a cloth or squeegie in the barrel. I've done it many a time.

i'm thinking that if dry fireing is bad, then what is it going to do to your marker when you time a cocker. apperently you have to fire the marker to time it

[travsstuff]

I think dry firing is bad in excess. I had a VL triton and I dry fired it so many times the valve got smushed in just slightly from the striker hitting it 1000's of times. All I had to do though was drill my valve out a little which I would've done any way. So No dry firing is not bad. If it breaks something, fix it.

[whizzit]

You've could have sanded down the valve stem, much easier, but ohwell.

Dry firing is just putting more wear on your marker like you would normally do, just your not being productive like taggin someone out or bunkering them.

2) You don't have to leave spaces after you qute someone. It does that for you. IT's quite annoying having to delete those spaces...

[xXniTemAreXx]

Depends what you mean by dry firing..


If you.. screw in your tank and shoot with air..that = no harm

If you.. cock your gun and shoot (with no air) that=bad

If you.. Turn your electronic frame on and shoot.. that= no harm

I've done it tapeworm, and no tapeworm. Doesn't matter, its possible with both.
