[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 319509, member: 20522"] Is it bad to dry fire a rifle? i have heard that its bad to dry fire weapons, i have also heard that you should practice with dry firing to get your technique down. Why would it be bad, is it the fact that firing pins are hardened and the harder the metal the more brittle it is, so the primer is a cushion for the pin, and the force if the pin slamming into its housing will possibly fracture or shatter the pin. ive heard that, it makes sense but is it true? what about rimfire weapons ? they dont have the same mechanism, is it ok to dry fire one not the other, what does everybody think?
