Do I undo the screw properly, and have it whoosh out in 3 seconds? Would 3 seconds of intense cold be worse than the 'hissing' option?
The gun is designed to be fired many hundreds of times more than just to empty half a caplet.
I would dry fire it.
Unless you are planning to dry fire it with a pair of mole grips I am not sure where you get the "wear and tear" idea from

Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
