I think that's actually a silenced handgun mounted into an apparatus.
In time we hate that which we often fear.

There were guns in WWII with curved barrels that shot around corners, not sure how effective they were.

These are actually pretty cool. I think there was already a thread on it with a lot better picture, though. I can't think of a key word to search on that works, though.
It uses some sort of video system to aid in targetting.In time we hate that which we often fear.

I have a screwdriver that can screw in stuff at an angle like that....
Will someone buy me the guy to add to my "around the corner" collection? Tony? Christmas is coming, you know.

The WWII guns were very innovative. The Germans had to use light bullets and the effectiveness of these rifles was serioulsy diminished. The rifles would also go rhough barrels like it was going out of style.
These new ones are pretty cool. I got to handle one 2 weeks ago. I was surprised to find that it worked with a Glock, Sig, Baretta, virtually any handgun could fit it. They have even ested them with M26 AirTasers!We bring evil things to evil people, kicking in a door near you!

The perfect accessory for the "hard to buy for" Glock owner. Buy yours today before Christmas! :D That would be pretty neat to use though. People call the military sneaky since they can attack from many miles away. What will those people say about shooting around corners?

Its one of those screwdrivers you can use in sneaky places. I like to screw in strange places, which is why it is a useful tool.
Ohio plate? Oh, no dear.. not me. I do have a personalized plate, however. ;)
