Was this a riddle? Tell us why you first ask the question, and now you come up with the answer yourself :)

Like the others already said, it is absolutely safe to dry fire a FX royale, except without air or with the air pressure being too low.
What happens with a royale when fired without air, is that the hammer slams on the valve stem guiding hole inside the action, causing a burr at the inside of that hole. (Aluminium action ==> soft material)
As a result, the valve stem can't get past that burr anymore, causing the valve to stay open.
I've fixed a Bobcat .30 of a friend who had shot it wayyyyyy below reg pressure (<100bar) with this same issue. I had to clean up the burr with a 4mm reamer, after that, it shot great again.
B.t.w. When you fire a RAW without or with little pressure, the valve return spring gets beaten up. (badly deformed)

yes weatherby I think yr right. I was reading on network 54 about this same situation. I cant remember thou if it said it was dryfired with out a pellet in it?
​as for me I would never dry fire a gun with no air in it.

all I'm concerned about is weather it can be dry fired with out a pellet in it or not?

​I dry fire my other pcps with no problems as far as of the past 5 years....ie with no pellet
but not with low air pressure I would never do that.

Basically, when a shot is fired, a pcp just gives a pulse of air.
So, it doesn't really matter whether there is a pellet behind that pulse of air or not☺
I've done it a million times with every pcp I've owned. It's harmless as long as there is enough air pressure in the gun.
Spring guns can't handle dry firing without a pellet, because in that case the moving piston has no back pressure, so it slams into the endstop at full speed. Seals and springs don't like that very much....😆
