Any type of firearm, and their airsoft versions, should never be dry-fired.
Why? Because in normal circumstances, there is a reaction to the hammer or trigger pull that compensates any impact or release of a hammer/pin/spring.

The metal parts can become brittle, and snap. I've seen this happen with even real tempered steel gun parts. So in general it's a bad idea.
