Dry firing your gun

[fate tempter]

I dont know what its realy called but me and my friends call it dry firing. when you just cock the gun and pull the trigger and the bolt smashes forward. i was told this is bad for your gun, and i was told it dosnt matter. could you give me a little of your thought?

It's not all that harmful if your gun is lubed.

I thought dry firing is when your gun has CO2, but not any paintballs in it and you shoot it. I could be wrong though....

[in trauma]

dry firing is whenever you shot without ammo/paintballs

I dry fired an illustrator so many times that the hammer and the valve got stuck together....So i think dry firing is a bad thing....at least for an illustrator

i dry fire all the time. i havent seen or had any problems with my gun yet. i remember when my cousin first bought his gun it can with a video telling him not to but then again it was from b.e. so that explains it.

i try not to dry fire(thats when u use gas but no paint) but i do play with the gun when there is no paint or air in it.
just like twicho said.
click, click, click, click...
