I've actually tested the "dry fire or no dry-fire" with two mavericks. Both were brand new. 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.
