It's OKAY to dry fire a C02 pistol but do not dry fire a spring or pump pistol or rifle. When the piston in a spring pistol compresses the air inside the chamber to fire the pellet is actually slows down as it decompresses the spring piston just before it fires the pellet out of the chamber. This slowing down Keeps the piston from slamming against the end of the chamber and ruining it. When there is no pellet in the chamber the piston has no resistance and slams against the end of the chamber. This will eventually destroy the piston and the air chamber.

What do dry chemical fire extinguishers do to a fire?
Fire needs three things to burn: fuel, oxygen, and heat. Take away one or more of those three things in sufficient quantities, and the fire can no longer burn..A dry chemical fire extinguisher sprays a noncombustible, air resistant layer of foam designed to cover the fire's fuel source. When the fuel source (wood, oil, cloth, etc.) is completely and properly smothered, the expelled dry chemical foam isolates the fuel from the surrounding air, and thereby starves the fire of the oxygen it needs to burn.
