WHY IS MY AIRSOFT GUN NOT FIRING?

Does dry firing an electric airsoft gun burn out the gearbox?

  • i was just wondering if dry firing the gun burns out the gearbox

  • Answer:

    No. The BB in the barrel causes almost no resistance to the piston because of it's negligible weight and the fact that it's being propelled out of a smoothbore barrel. The stresses placed on your internals are much the same whether they're firing a BB or not. The reason that it's best to avoid dry fire is a simple one, your gearbox parts have a limited lifespan. Why waste chunks of that lifespan on firing empty... every dry shot you fire is one less BB that you can fire...
