| does anyone know if , when the hammer of an ar gets slammed back by the carrier, it goes lower than the carrier and bounces back up, or if it is merely pushed back by the carrier and always in contact with it. how can i find this out? |

I would not be surprised if the hammer looses contact with the carrier under impact loading.
I guess you could machine a lower away and take some high speed film or in theory run the numbers and see if it is possible on paper or in cad space, any Abaqus FEA users a little bored. |

My thoughts exactly, But mostly due to the initial acceleration the carrier would put on the hamme because of its low initial contact point, it may if at all loose contact when the carrier starts to travel back, but once the carrier starts to work against the recoil spring I would guess they would be In contact the whole time, that hammer spring is quite strong...... And if it did loose contact it would be undetectable without a 200k+ FPS camera and a cutaway lower..... And no Im not firing up my PRO-E FEA, for this.....Because Who cares??? 
Take a look a this vid of a valve spring at 10k these springs are moving at more the 10X the speed of the bolt carrier on an m-16 and there is no noticeable gap....10k valve |
