Whats up with dry firing a tippmann c98

[tonysk83]

so whats up with dry firing is it bad, and if it is what is it bad for?

[Kamotz]

It's not bad for it.

In what way are you talking about dry firing? do you mean without air hooked up, or just no paintballs with air? My friends read that dry firing can hurt the internals, so they thought you couldnt fire it without paintballs, boy they are stupid. you can dry fire it without air if you have it oiled pretty good, remember you can never have to much oil in your marker.

You said you could fire it without and air system on it as long as it was oiled well. So if it isn't oil as much why would it not be good for it unless it is presurised?

I dont really understand it either, but in my kingman manual it says not to dry fire unless it is well lubricated, and then someone else said it would warp valves and all kinds of other bs....
