Did taking that picture damage that gun? It doesn't look like the barrel is parallel to the rest of the frame (or whatever it's called).

Or is it deliberately angled upwards to add some automatic bullet drop compensation to the sights?

Barrels are angled upwards to unlock the chamber and allow the bullet to ride into the chamber easier.
