Misc TM22 Dry fire with chamber flag

Since I got downvoted in a comment in a different thread, here is a video showing dry firing the TM22 with a chamber flag inside. Not sure if it can cause any damage, seems fine to me for occasional dry fire.

With the chamber flag in the bolt is out of battery, where is the hammer impacting?

It’s likely hitting somewhere unintended on the back of the bolt and not the firing pin. Probably not a good idea to be doing that unless you want to break your hammer and mess up your bolt.
