Will it hurt a springer to dry fire it ? I’m kinda thinking it is not good for the gun.
If you cock it to clean or work on it and you can't get outside shoot it into and old paper back book laying on the floor or out a window into the grass or off the back porch.
Not sure what you mean. If you have to discharge a cocked empty springer, stuff the barrel into a cardboard panel on the floor to create back pressure. It's in the Weihrauch owners manual. Derr! When all else fails read the instructions!

I dry fire into a rag or something to test trigger pull when working on one or curious. Weihrauch said it's fine, and none of the my other guns blew up lol. The pellet sliding out the barrel at a few hundred miles per hours isn't much back pressure in the grand scheme of things anyway.
