Popping an occasional cap to chase off critters or silence a barking dog will not cause your nipples or pistol to disolve into a pile of rust and corrosion for a long time. As long as you clean the gun a couple times a year you should be ok. Back in the day when I was shooting muzzleloaders regularly, the nipple and flash cup only got cleaned after three or four matches, not every time I shot it. - One rifle is 20+ years old and has the original nipple that is still serviceable and in excellent shape.
