My friend and I rigorously tested them: one we dry-fired a bunch, and the other we fired with darts the same number of times. It was somewhere in the hundreds. Finally, we fired a bunch of darts (flat) from each blaster and found that the dry-fired one shot a solid 10 feet shorter than the one that had not been dry fired.

Really! Now that is interesting! Did you fire them both the same number of times? Did they both work the same at first? And finaly, were the darts the same?

I suppose dry firing could wear out the seal.
