I am sure you all know crosman 1377. But is it OK to dry-shoot it?

yes your fine to dry fire pumpers, but like any pneumatic or C02 airgun you will
be putting unwanted stress on the valve stem

Thanks a lot for the reply. Just wonder why real shooting puts less stress on the valve stem compared to dry shooting?

The simple answers is that it uses the energy to propel the pellet out of the chamber/barrel. If no pellet, more of the energy/force is directed to the valve stem.

Similar result can be found when using very light pellets in very high powered pellet rifles.

Others can explain the science behind this.

I say yes, and parts for it are dirt cheap ( 16$ for a whole new complete valve assembly ) that I wouldn't worry about it.

That only applies to piston driven ( Gas or Spring )

As light weight pellets in any other action. The valve pressure does not really change.

THanks for your explanations. Probably it is not very dangerous as I made only one pump when dry-shoot )) As far as I know is also OK to dry-shoot IZH46

I am very pleased with your answer. Of course, I was aware about spring-guns
