I can see the bend @incendiaryperihelion@lemm.ee is talking about but I think that’s just an effect from the camera. I’m sure there’s some flexing going on but it probably looks worse than it is, hard to say without better-quality footage.
Here are some of the frames showing the rifle at different points from just prior to the impact to immediately after landing on the ground. You can see what looks like a significant amount of bending across the whole rifle at impact +2 frames. At +13 and +14, there’s a decent view of the barrel and it doesn’t show any deformation. I don’t think the forces involved here are enough to damage the barrel but could always drop a cleaning rod through it before attempting to fire.

Oh yeah I think you’re right. It does look like rolling shutter bend now that I look at it closer
ah that makes a lot of sense, that would be a LOT of bending of the barrel
