So here's the thing. I have an EAT (more precisely an orange EXDAT) with a stock spring and no AR. I had a major malfunction and reluctantly had to remove the AR. Bottom line, it works great. It's been working great for nearly two years.

I have another EAT that I put an OMW Stage II in, and it just blew apart internally. The upgraded spring and lack of AR allowed the plunger to smack into the bottom of the plunger tube and eventually destroy it.

So yeah, if you modded your EAT, don't dry fire it. But if it's stock, you don't have to worry about it.
