I've dry fired many rifles and handguns over 45+ years and in all that time, I only ever broke one firing pin on a heavily dry fired M1A I used to shoot matches with.
I normally do use a snap cap in just about everything these days. The only ones I've ever had troubles with have been the old red plastic type in 308. They never wanted to chamber in any of my 308's and I went to A Zoom as soon as they came out. They work flawlessly, and last a lot longer too.
