ELI5: Why is it that dry-firing (pulling the trigger without any ammunition) bad for airsoft/real guns?
gpt
Not sure for airsoft guns, but for some real firearms, there's a piece of metal called a firing pin that will hit a peice of steel, and doing this too much can cause damage. This is only for certain types of guns though, many do not have serious issues with dry firing.
