Bong here. Why is dry firing considered dangerous? There’s no live ammunition so you won’t get hurt. Was this Redditor just overreacting or what?

>Why is dry firing considered dangerous?
Always treat a firearm as if it was loaded. Dry firing is fine, just don't point at someone
> just don’t pour it at someone.
But why though?
I meant to write point
> why is a kid firing a (supposedly empty) gun at my face a bad thing?
Note that it's supposedly empty but you will never, ever be 100% sure it's empty, see Alec Baldwin.
wrong, its a manners thing and a "I can't know for a fact that other people aren't moronic" thing
>you will never, ever be 100% sure it's empty
no
>lock action open
>look in chamber
>no bullet
yes I am in fact 100% sure the gun is empty. I don't care if morons frick the process up by being careless
>what if you forget
just do it every time you pick a gun up. you're telling me you can't remember that you cleared the gun and looked into the chamber since you last picked the gun up? if so you must have moron goldfish memory and not be able to function in society
In civilized countries, it's considered bad manners to point a deadly weapon at someone without sufficient provocation. Are you sure you're a Bong?
>Are you sure you're a Bong?
He's not. I think it's the same autist who's been spamming warrior threads.
Yeah its probably another shitposting thread, considering the OP image is old
actually the fact that he doesnt understand the first fricking rule of firearms safety means hes very likely to be a bong
Weak bait.
The first rule of firearm safety is to have a good time.
Because you might be more moronic than you think you are.
nta, but I have learned that my own 'tard potential can approach infinity in a sufficiently small enough timefraMe.
No, guys, hear him out, he's got a point.
remember the Alec Baldwin incident?
Because you're reinforcing a habit that may save you a lot of trouble in the future.
>Bong here
Post power outlet.
>power outlet
socket
That moron shouldn't be allowed to have a shotgun, let alone kids.
crazy how moronic OP is given that you can do just that within 5 sec if ammo is on/near the counter
>crazy how moronic OP is
Yup. Why would him being 'a bong' be pertinent to his question in the slightest.
And why would anyone think pointing a gun at shop owner and pulling the trigger would be ok?
This thread stinks of farts.
You will frick up your rimfire.
>why is pointing a gun at people bad
European education
Go into your local gun shop.
Ask to see a gun.
Dry fire it in the owners face
???
Profit.
Your moronation is getting worse. Get help. While your at it, get a girl friend. Or even just a friend.
what is it with morons compulsively pointing guns at friends then pulling the trigger? I've seen this result in tragedy so many times on /gif/. Do these idiots have bicameral brain and cant distinguish their intrusive thoughts from reality? Of course dumb low inhib people cause accidents with other objects many times but I feel that with guns, as soon as they grab them they suddendly act like they're posessed and subconsciously try to murder the closest person then act surprised at what happened. Disturbing really.
flashing anyone with the muzzle is bad.
I have heard repeated dryfiring can damage parts of some models, especially older firearms, but I'm honestly not sure if that's fuddlore or not.
>I have heard repeated dryfiring can damage parts of some models, especially older firearms, but I'm honestly not sure if that's fuddlore or not.
I bought a CZ-52 and during my research several places said DON'T dry fire it. It work-hardens the metal of the firing pin and makes it more brittle, leading to the end snapping off more easily. I don't know how many other guns this applies to, but there are probably others with a similar deal.
I think people generally agree its bad for shotguns.
I'm not sure what firearm is implied in the OP. Lever actions are fairly niche in the UK due to not having any restrictions in shotgun actions like australia does, where lever action atrodidads are common. Just mag capacity (you need a more difficult loicence for a shotgun with a full capacity tube or a removable magazine) so the most common actions by volume are:
>U/O and S/S for obvious reasons
>automatics due to cheap shitalian and later turkic auto-5 copies and similar.
>pump action
>lever action (maybe even rarer than combat shotguns)
The only lever action shotgun I've seen in a brick and mortar gunshop in the UK is a Martini-Henry/Greener 12 gauge which you 100% wouldn't want some little twerp dryfiring.
If you're sure there's no round up the spout and no way to feed a round into the chamber, go ahead and dry fire it.
But you just don't fricking ever point it at anyone and 'click lulz', that's how dumb motherfrickers end up killing people because they're positive it was unloaded before that
Fake homosexual story. Anyone here thinking that it is real needs to go back.
>rack lever, point rifle at kid, maintain eye contact with dad
Click
Pointing a weapon at someone, loaded or not, is a very rude gesture. In fact it's considered a gross misdemeanor in many states. The act of dry firing itself with most firearms doesn't actually harm the firearm. Rimfire weapons are usually the exception because the firing pin can strike the face of the breech and damage it as well as peening the firing pin.
I love that simpsons episode
I mean having a kid point a gun at you and pretend to shoot you is pretty fricking ridiculous. I'm surprised the dad didn't discipline the kid after that.
