Not sure where you're getting a rotating barrel from, but the Archon Type B doesn't have a rotating barrel at all, neither does the Stryk.
I've shot it, but only with a few silencers on the front. It ran with no malfunctions over the course of 500rds of 5 different ammo types. Pretty accurate with a decent trigger, the sights aren't my type but they use the standard Glock dovetail so they're easy to switch out. I like that it comes with 4 Mec Gar magazines and the way the checkering pattern is done on the grip.

It may not go far in the market place, in fact probably won't since I held one at Rainier Arms and didn't buy it. If you knew how much of an impulse buyer I am, you would know that is almost the marketing kiss-of-death.
The locking design is almost a cross between a Beretta M92 and a Browning belt-fed. There is a locking piece that moves up and down to lock barrel to slide. It fits tightly against the barrel and doesn't move much vertically, so the barrel can sit quite low in the frame.

I had a type b but sold it. Now keep in mind I have my own reasons I sold it so I’m not sure if I could offer a review but I will say it’s a nice gun shoots flat and it has a nice trigger. I also shot the prototype about 3 years ago. Archon used to be Arsenal USA which both are and were owned by salient arms.
Not vaporware, as I said. Last weekend I checked one out at Rainier Arms in Auburn, Washington.

In five years the market won't even know what they are.
