The consensus on THR seems to be that shotguns are generally not drop safe, thus one should not keep a round in the chamber. So what about AR-15s and AKs? Certainly soldiers keep a round chambered while in the field where the likelihood of a 'drop' is fairly high. As far as I know, firing pin/striker blocks as are common in pistols are unheard of in rifles. So what gives? Is pistol drop safety over hyped?
