What are the pros and cons of these in the context of rifles? I know that in handguns, a big advantage of hammer-firing is that you can quickly recover from a FTF. I'm not so sure if that is the case with semiauto rifles though -- certainly not with the ones I've used. So what is the rationale behind hammer-fired rifles? It seems that the trigger system is a lot more complex than if it were striker fired, and much harder to modify/accurize. I have been able to greatly improve the trigger of a SF rifle using simple materials, but got nowhere when I attempted to do the same thing with a HF rifle. There has to be some advantage to counterbalance these disadvantages.
