Best Answer

The hammer spring is the primarily safety feature. Depending on the extent of the mechanical failure the firing pin spring could be providing protection also. Do not confuse the firing pin spring with the striker pin spring which is the spring that pushs (strikes) the firing pin into the round which ignites the primer.
