This is a question by someone who really doesn't know anything.
I have recently read about the use of
titainium firing pins. Had it explained that
the lower mass of the firing pin reduces the
time from hammerfall to cartridge ignition.
Sorta makes sense.
I've also read that M1A/M14 weapons have been known to fire out of battery due to the mass of the stock firing pin being carried into the primer by its own momentum.
I've not seen or read anything to indicate that a light(er) firing pin exists for this weapon.
Is there a light firing pin? Would it matter if there were?
thanx in advance.
