NO...!
Dry Firing a "springer" airgun is bad for the seals and just bad for the gun in general.
I do know this 1st hand, from loaning a gun to a friend who repeatly dry fired my spring powered air gun. upon returning the rifle he stated it no longer will shoot pellets with any "power". he then told me how he would fire the gun late at night(with no pellets in it)just to scare off the cats in his back yard. I sent the gun out for repairs only to have the technican tell me the seals were fried. I told him about my friends little venture and i was told that is what caused the damage.
Plus anyone with any knowledge of spring powered airguns will tell you this to be a fact.
DO NOT DRY FIRE YOU SPRING POWERED AIRGUNS!!!
