Question on AR-15 operation

[m4carbine]

If you pull back the charging handle so you see the open chamber and then release the bolt catch so the bolt springs forward without a bullet in the magazine will this damage the gun in any way?

No.

Only if you freeze it in liquid nitrogen first.

I don't know, charging on an empty mag might let the fun out...

Always charge on a loaded mag - to do otherwise isn't fair to the gun...

It's like taking your dog hunting, he hunts them up, but you miss all your shots... it's unfair to the dog

it's part of the function check upon reassembly so i'm gonna go with "no" as well.

I'm confused as to why you'd have a bullet in your magazine, and not a cartridge.

He's only licensed for the bullet. He needs to wait 5 years before he gets the gunpowder, cartridge and primer endorsement. It's "policy" of the CoP.

Well, since we are hung up on semantics, at least be happy he said magazine, instead of clip!
