Do not ever dry fire a rimfire gun, I shall explain.
Without a cartridge rim in place the firing pin will eventually peen the edge of the chamber so as to displace metal into the chamber, you will get feeding issues and especially extraction issues.
You do not want to dry fire a centrefire either, with nothing to stop the tip of the firing pin it will stretch and eventually separate.
Not familiar with the JW 15 but you can quiet probably de-cock by squeezing the trigger and easing the bolt handle down.
NEVER ON A LOADED ROUND [Not yelling but buggered if I can do bold print]
You saved me from asking that question lol.
Just the other day I was thinking about if it would be bad to squeeze the trigger with no ammo in the chamber.
But I guess you answers that for me. Cheers mate for the advice
