No. The system you see there is a "recoil" operation. When the propellant gas pushes the bullet forward the gun recoils in the opposite direction (Newton's third law). most of the energy goes into pushing the barrel and slide backwards. As the barrel and slide move they remain locked togther for a short distance (usually a few millimeters). By the time the barrel unlocks and tilts down, the bullet has left the barrel, so accuracy is unaffected by the movement.

this sorta reminds me of glock 17 , the barrel tilts up the same way

all things seemed right until i seen the grip safety. other than that great.

[AK47METALLICA]

I don't think the grip safety was being pushed in :/

@ductonius well said

@HeatSroken777 No, it doesn't affect accuracy. As you see, the barrel rotates down when the slide is pulled back, it then comes forward and locks the barrel into place.
