In this handout picture made available Tuesday Oct. 28, 2003 by the Israel-based Cornershot Co. in Tel Aviv, Israel, a rifle is seen composed of two parts; the front, that can swivel from side to side, containing a pistol with a color camera mounted on top, and the back section which consists of the stock, trigger and a monitor. According to a report by the Israeli daily 'Maariv' newspaper, the pistol, produced by the Florida-based Cornershot Holdings, is being tested by the Israeli military and has already been bought by a number of special forces around the world. The unique weapon allows a soldier to remain behind cover, with only the barrel of the rifle exposed in the direction of the hostile fire. (AP Photo/HO, Cornershot)

I want one.

[ClintonBeGone]

Sweet. Wonder how accurate it is. Of course, if it's on auto, it doesn't really matter.

Weird-looking gun ping! Can you get me one for Xmas? ;)

[stainlessbanner]

Smile for the camera!

[Conspiracy Guy]

I use one of these. It shoots through corners.

Little more modification and mechanics and this thing could be a machine gun robot... Sit it on top of some West Bank building where the rock throwers are and just pick them off like flies as you relax a mile or so away.

CORNER SHOT™ - 'MAKES TIGHT CORNERS AN ADVANTAGE™'
The Ultimate System to Shoot Around Corners
The CORNER SHOT is the ultimate solution for dealing with the deadly threats that lurk "around the corner" in a variety of tactical situations encountered by military and law enforcement personnel, anti-terror units and SWAT teams operating in open or built-up areas, inside buildings, rooms and enclosed spaces, and especially in forced entry situations.

The CORNER SHOT has already been acquired by police and special forces units around the world.

The key to CORNER SHOT is the swing-hinge front section of the system, a state-of-the-art device that houses the handgun and a compact detachable color video camera. The unique lateral (both left and right) swinging mechanism enables the user to safely sweep, search or engage targets ‘around the corner’ with the camera transmitting what it sees directly to a video monitor. Both the video monitor and the remote trigger control for firing the pistol, together with all system operating switches, are fitted to the frame held by the user.

SHOOTING AROUND CORNERS
Conceived and designed by veteran counter-terrorism warfare specialists, the innovative CORNER SHOT is the outcome of a meticulous and thorough R&D process.

For the very first time, the CORNER SHOT offers a truly effective, state-of-the-art weapon system that may be deployed with deadly accuracy, at a lateral angle, from "around the corner", from behind a shelter, a cover or a barricade. The unique lateral traversing mechanism will not affect normal firearm performance.

SHOOTING FROM COVER
The CORNER SHOT may be employed to search spaces or engage targets "in the next room" or "down the street", with a high degree of accuracy, from "around the corner" or from a shelter, without exposing the user. It may be used in securing such openings as doors, windows and hatches with maximum effectiveness and minimum risk.

The CORNER SHOT adapts to fit most automatic handguns currently in use.

See the main post, then see the replied-to post. ;-)

[Prodigal Son]

Now, that's pretty cool.

[camle]

these look like they wer designed after a toy gun that was around when I was a kid. it was actually called "The gun that shoots around corners!". IIRC the name was Johhny 7 OMA or something like that.

wierd when toys become real...

[Riley]

The Germans in the forties did the same thing by attaching a curved bullet guide to the barrel of the MP-40 SMG. It was useful mainly as a conversation piece and made a unique souvenir when captured.

Not good for much else, though. I saw one last time I was at the Ordnance Museum at Aberdeen Proving Ground. Which is not to be missed if you like this kind of thing...

[doodad]

Sweeeet! That thing got a hemi?

[Conspiracy Guy]

It's got a turbine. 10 disc CD changer. AC. Chemical filtration system. You can park it anywhere.

[BrooklynGOP]

I hear the stock speakers suck, though.

[RikaStrom]

I want one!

[Conspiracy Guy]

After market speakers are the only way to go. I have concert quality sound with 2500 amps pushing them babies.

[Elle Bee]

it should be aimed to the left

I use one of these. It shoots through corners.

Oh yes! Personally, I prefer my model 408 Tac50 sniper rifle with 700 grain cartridge. Has a record kill @ 2430 meters.
