I would argue no, reason? go back to his fight with Winter, when they fought, he was using his Sword form, and when she got space between both he changed his blade to gun mode, this change makes it so the blade goes down to make way for the barrel so to shoot, you can see this again in his fight against Tyrian, now to answer your question: My answer by observation "No". Observing some differences between Qrow's and Ruby's weaponds I would argue that Ruby basically copied this part out of Qrows sword (she shoots by changing cartridges and bullets filled with dust), also I would argue his sword is just a common one; although a poor choice to compare look at Tidus from FFX his first sword is wide too, but Qrows begins wide to narrow so that when it goes to his scythe form it can extend and bend to the right angle. This is my reasoning only based by observation ^_^
