No, you don't. Discharging it every time will actually kill it quite quickely.
Ni-Cad batteries today aren't the same as they were 20 years ago. Discharging a Nicad once per season should be sufficient. The technology may be "old" but it's been updated a lot. Especially if you have a good charger you don't need to worry about it. I've never discharged any of my nicads and they work just fine.
Ni-cads also have advantages over Ni-Mah. They have a higher discharge rate, making them the better choice for upgraded guns. They also perform better in colder weather.
