goodo123 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Have you ever been to a show where you have seen people cock rifles and dry fire them in the rack? Really gets on my tats as they have no intention on buying but wana cause unnecessary wear, also people sliding safety back and forward and barrel select on sg. Fair enough have a play if your looking to buy but don't jus mess with other peoples guns! Maybe I'm being ott but it's the way I was brought up, and for whatever reason this really strikes a nerve.

andy198712 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 So would you rather leave a gun cocked when you put it away? Take a pump for eg, unless you wanna leave the last shell in it its gonna be cocked... I dry fire mine for testing ect and to decock, BUT I wouldn't dry fire someone else's gun unless I knew they were cool with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muddy Funker Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Guys these things are built to last. Do you honestly think much damage can be caused dry firing considering what stress the gun is under when firing live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throdgrain Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Pump or semiauto, dry firing is no problem, over/unders used to be different though, dunno if they still are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most issues with dry firing relate to older guns, springs, metalwork, etc. MODERN guns have better engineering, machining and component part materials (except the Hatsans of course! ), dry firing should not be a problem today!

goodo123 Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I think ppl are missing my point.... If I was at a car showroom jumped in a car started moving the seat beeping the horn flashing the lights and making brum brum noises in a car I obviously wasn't going to buy or couldn't afford would this be ok as that's what their built for and I wouldn't be damaging it.....

I think I'd arrange for some "tailors" to fit you for a new white jacket that fastens at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
