You won’t damage a Parker by dry firing it but if it makes you more comfortable, by all means use snap caps.

The springs are not the issue. It is the stop plate for ejectors that are a reason to have snap caps.

As I see in an example hang tag:

"If the gun is fitted with our automatic ejector, it is an excellent plan to have in the gun two exploded shells, so that when the gun is opened and the injectors operated they will have some work to do; other-wise the force of the blow occasioned by the ejectors being thrown against the stop plate tends to batter them and injure the plate."

Quoting from the far right tag, final sentence:
