In reading Burrard on “barrel flip”, which he acknowledges is from an earlier article in Game and Gun, his analogy of a “fishing-rod” is helpful. When the rod is raised to set the hook, the tip initially dips or flexes downward just as the muzzle does on a SxS (which he calls an “ordinary gun”) as the breech raises after discharge and before the projectile(s) leave the barrel.
