Dry firing paintball guns can be harmful to the gun if done constantly. However, it is recommended that you dry fire your gun to ensure that no paintballs have been left inside the chamber. So, as long as it is only done every once in a while it will be okay.
Dry firing actually does no harm at all unless your just sitting there pulling the trigger for 4 hours.
Dry firing a marker is not potentially harmful to the marker. However, if you have a Bob Long Pillow Bolt upgrade, do not dry fire the marker. There is a chance to blow out the pillow off the bolt and ruin the bolt itself.

Sometimes when using CO2 and you dry-fire a white snow-like powder comes out, which is just frozen moisture from the air.
You will also waste your CO2 if you dry-fire.

∙ 13y agoYes, in fact all paintball guns "hurt". It is not the gun that hurts, but the paintball from them, traveling at around 300 feet per second, which will feel like taking a thick rubber band snap to the neck.

∙ 10y agoFor the most part no, it will do nothing to markers as everything will function exactly as it would otherwise. Some markers (like angels) will have problems dry firing as they use back pressure from a paintball to cycle properly but putting a towel or a barrel swab in the barrel will do the same thing. Automags with a level 10 bolt are about the only markers that should not be dry fired as a portion of the bolt can go flying out the barrel without a paintball in place

It is acceptable to fire your air soft gun without any BB's. You wouldn't want to do it for a long time as it will increase the wear and tear on your gearbox.

∙ 12y agoYes, it won't kill it but in the long run it is never good to dry fire.

∙ 11y agoIt won't put any serious damage on your gun, however doing this frequently over a long period of time may effect your marker in negative ways.

Does it hurt a gun to dryfire it?
Yes. The firing pin is intended to make contact with a cartridge primer. When this doesn't happen, and it "lands" on an empty chamber, this causes resonance in the firing pin which can increase wear and eventually break it. A much better alternative to dry firing would be to use either spent cartridge casings or the "snap cap" dummy cartridges which you can find at most gun shops. ***** Agree with above. In addition, dry firing many rim fire weapons may dent the mouth of the chamber, resulting in misfires.
Is it okay to dryfire an air rifle?
If you are asking about a "springer firing system" The answer is NO do not dryfire it. When you shoot a single cock springer rifle or gun with a pellet in the chamber, there is a moment where the piston actually slows down just before the pellet is fired down the barrel. If you have no pellet in the chamber the piston slams against the end of the chamber and this will eventually ruin the chamber. Dry firing a Co2 gun will not hurt it. You will just waist Co2.
