Well, honey, the colony of New Netherland was taken over by the British without a single shot being fired, and they renamed it New York in honor of the Duke of York. It was all very polite and civilized, unlike some other messy takeovers in history.

Hawaii was effectively taken over without firing a shot through a combination of economic pressure and political maneuvering. In 1893, a group of American businessmen and sugar planters, with the support of the U.S. government, orchestrated a coup against the Hawaiian monarchy, leading to the establishment of a provisional government. This ultimately paved the way for Hawaii's annexation by the United States in 1898. The lack of military conflict during this takeover distinguishes it from many other colonial acquisitions.

The Duke Of York
New York
The Dutch colony of New Amsterdam was taken over by the English without a shot being fired. The English forces arrived in 1664 in four warships sent by the Duke of York to take possession of land his brother the king of England had granted him. Before commencing an attack, the English offered generous terms of surrender to the Dutch colonists. The Dutch citizens persuaded their Governor, Peter Stuyvesant, to accept the terms of surrender rather than have the colony suffer the death and destruction under battlefire from the well-armed warships. After the surrender, the colony was then renamed New York for its new ruler.

Part of the firing mechaism prevents the hammer from falling again until the trigger is released to reset it. Without it, you would have the possibility of firing more than one shot per pull of the trigger.

Hearing loss WILL happen by firing any gun without protection. Of course the level of hearing loss that will occur will depend on the gun and for how long and how frequently one gets exposed to it, but firing ANY type of gun without ear protection is not safe.
One can learn how to sight a gun without firing it by practicing with an unloaded gun, using a laser bore sight tool, or seeking guidance from a professional instructor.
