Dry shooting on SCATT

So,I purchased a SCATT,and I can say that this thing is going to improve me...
In the fisrt 3 practices I did,I saw a lousy trigger pull...(air riffle)
On my FWB P70,the way to dry fire is to unscrew the air tube and simply arm the riffle and shoot.
How am I going to dry fire my smallbore?
I think that firing the pin in an empty chamber is not the best thing to do.
How will I do it?
Thank you!

The answer is Dry Firing Plugs, sometimes referred to as Snap Caps:

How about trying a dry-fire firing pin? Anschutz makes them (if that is what you are using for smallbore). If not, you can always get a new firing pin and use a dremel tool to file it down on the end where it would hit the chamber wall. File it down so that it does not strike when fully extended.
