What he said ^^^^.
Add this idea. Instead of a snap cap, put a sharpened lead pencil into the barrel. Full length wooden pencil with a full eraser. Drop it in through the muzzle. The eraser should rest against the breech/firing pin hole. Stand so that the point of the pencil is about 1/2" from the paper. When you dry fire, the firing pin will pop the pencil forward, leavingma dot on the paper In addition to the advice before, when you are done, you will have a group of dots. Ideally, you will have one single dot instead of ten widely spaced.
