This video explains the phenomenon of light primer strikes in AR-style firearms, attributing them to the design of the floating firing pin. The instructor demonstrates how a floating firing pin can leave a small dimple on the primer even without a full ignition, which is normal for many AR-15 and AR-10 platforms. It also touches on how some blowback AR systems mitigate this effect.
