Recoil will be absorbed [spread out over time ] only if it's delayed blowback rather than locked breech.Rotating barrel can be either. Rotating barrel designs have been used for about 100 years, nothing new .Accuracy depends on care in dimensions more than anything...Always try a gun before you buy .
