It is kinda/sorta accurate. The animation depicts the order and way things happen in the ejection cycle wrong, but not in a way that is likely to matter to someone trying to understand what the parts of the gun do.

Um..what? For me the video was providing precisely that kind of helpful information in understanding what the parts of the gun do.

Which is what I said: "...not in a way that is likely to matter to someone trying to understand what the parts of the gun do."

But the slide starts moving while the round is still moving in the barrel, and the barrel doesn't begin tilting down until the forward barrel lug impacts the locking block - unlike what the video shows. The voice over also makes it sound like the gun won't fire unless in full battery, but that isn't true and there really isn't a mechanism for that.

Like I said, "kinda/sorta accurate".
