Dry Firing

[perazzisc3]

Is it safe to dry fire an FX CROWN multiple times?

If it is pressurized, it is most definitely okay. Empty? I don’t know. On some PCPs, the valve or hammer can be damaged by firing them while empty.

By pressurized, I mean at least to the regulator’s setpoint.

That is something I never had considered. Thanks for the info.

I wouldn't.

If we are just talking normal, pressurized dry firing, like after filling the bottle, no issues.

I believe every PCP I own gets dry fired down range for sake of safety protocol after every shooting session. 

Yes, stay within regulated power wheel.

What about a hammerless pcp gun? Ok to dry fire one of those? I have an evanix raptor .30 semi-auto and am curious.
