The cyclic rate doesn't matter at all, you're completely missing the point here. The issue is at what point does the hammer fall during the process. If it falls when the bolt is in battery, it will function fine; if it falls right as the bolt is fully rearward the hammer will just ride the bolt down into battery and won't do anything and you'll have a dud; it's when the hammer falls when the bolt is halfway into battery that it becomes dangerous, as the hammer now has enough force to strike the firing pin and primer.

Sorry, no. Next time you have your AR apart, look at how the bolt carrier group works. The firing pin can't touch the primer until the rifle is in battery. Press the firing pin as far forward as it will go, and you'll see it doesn't protrude until the bolt is completely in the carrier- which only happens when the rifle is in battery.

I don't have an AR, I don't like DI. I'm an HK guy. </div></div>
I don't have an HK- but I'd bet it's the same. Pretty much standard for any quality centerfire auto built in the last half century plus. You quoted someone talking about an AR, if you're not talking about an AR platform, which one were you referring to?
