(The below ignores the "airborne shooter" possibility since it's not relevant to the play.)
Your terms are very confusing. You can't have a "common foul" during a dead ball.
Contact during a dead ball is IGNORED unless it's intentional or flagrant. Then, it's either an IT or FT foul.
Your "slap on the arm" would most likely be ignored. (I'm talking about the rule; as officials we might address the situation without calling a foul.)
