Great way to cause an out of battery discharge.......no thanks.....
Lulz, someone has no clue how an AR actually works.
You're right.......mount it up and crank away.....
Articulate how the firing pin can protrude from the bolt face when the firing pin stop shelf on the bolt carrier is behind the rear surface of the bolt the required distance for the cam pin to have rotated the bolt out of the locked position.
Didn't follow any of that? That's okay, I can post pictures if required.
You're talking about something you do not understand and further, are wrong about. Don't post falsehoods and I won't point it out.
ETA: Pics demonstrating. For those who want to follow along at home, pull out your ARs bolt carrier group... For the 1% of GD that actually owns an AR, that is.
In all of these pics, the firing pin is being pushed as far forward (up, from the cameras perspective) as possible.
First pic, bolt in the "fully locked" position. Note the firing pin protruding from the bolt face. Unseen is the fact that the rear tail of the bolt is protruding from the firing pin stop shelf on the bolt carrier. In this photo, the firing pin is bottomed out on the tail of the bolt itself.
Second pic... Bolt has been pulled forward slightly, just as if the bolt carrier were slightly rearward in an AR. Note that the bolt is still in a
LOCKED state. Where's the firing pin? Well, a result of the bolt going forward/carrier going reward is that the firing pin stop shelf is now further to the rear than the tail of the bolt. The firing pin is now bottomed out on this part of the bolt carrier, NOT the bolt. Unlocking of the bolt can only take place after this has occurred, such that the firing pin can no longer protrude from the bolt face. Rotation of the bolt by the cam pin begins basically immediately after firing pin retraction from the bolt.
In the last photo, you can see the bolt in its fully unlocked state. The firing pin is far away from the bolt face.
Obviously, when the bolt goes from unlocked to locked, the same thing happens in reverse. Bolt unlocked = Firing pin cannot contact primer, period.
