Hi there,
no, one dry shot don´t damage the Airgun... but if you do it often some innerparts would damaged!Greets, David

If it still shoots without difference, nothing's damaged.
Maybe the lifetime of some parts is reduced by a few dozen shots.

Ok, now i am reliefed. What parts are prone to damage when accidentaly dry fire?
Can they cause irreparable damage? -
Hi,
after much dry shots the plastic pistonhead are damaged... this is a cheap part. Better don´t shot without ammo, after too much dry shoots other parts damaged like piston... -
Ok i see. Actually it pulled the lever back when my cell phone start ringing so after the call i forgot to load the gun....
Since i started this topic for diana 52 which i bought recently i have a question regarding the "hold" of the gun when shooting.
The gun is new and have shot less than 500 diabolo pelets. I have trouble to get decent groups at 20 yards, is this due to the fact that the gun is new or i just dont hold it right.
Some details regading the "hold" of the gun when shooting is :
1: should i pull the trigger without the thumb pressing on the wooden stock of the gun
2: Do i have to touch the pistol grip fully, or just press the triger finger and nothing else touching the gun (for the triger hand)
3: in general which hold is beter for the gun a) the light hold or b) the tight holdThanks for your help

I think its much better to touch the gun with the whole hand. In general I would say a gun should be hold with a good hold. Not tight but also not light. Touch it the way you shake hands is a good way I think.

Thanks for your helpAndrew
Did you try different sorts of pellets? This could be a reason too, not only the way you hold the gun.

I have tried the H&N silver point 5.5mm and diabolo with the sharp nose (i dont remember the name)
Silver point is the best i have tried but heavy.
The gun kicks alot and after a shot i loose balance.
It seems that when i hold it realy tight i get 3 inch groups at 20yards but i was told many times that with a springer i must hold it losely. -
Pointed pellets don't have excellent accuracy.
Try JSB Schulz Exakt, 4.51mm would be a good start.

Any pictures of them? Also the gun is 5.5mm

HI
That makes nothing those is available also in 5,5mmhttp://web.telecom.cz/schulz/main_d.htm
ups that`s better
http://web.telecom.cz/schulz/I think about your bullits with the sharp nose, that you mean the Predator.
Where are you from ? What a muzzle energie has your gun
-
I am from Greece and the power of the gun is 18 ft/lbs
I also have used the diabolo flat head but i cant get nice groups at 20 yards.
Something tells me that i haven't learned to hold the gun proprerly.
I could use some instructions. -
Ok problem solved. All i did wrong is that i had my chick tight on the wood stock. When i stoped touching it my groups where all at the same hole at 20 meters!!!
I love this gun.Also can someone tell me what is its efective range on hunting and wich on target
shooting.PS. Are there any side lever Weirauh airguns on market
