14 DAY TRIAL // Who said that you can't shoot around the corner? But effectively seeing what you're shooting at is a different story. A company created a weapon system that allows the shooter to fire around the corners without sticking his hand out.
Most importantly, the soldier or policeman won't be shooting blind, as he can see in real time what is happening around the corner, while avoiding bullets. The system can be mounted on handguns and even on portable 40mm grenade launchers, becoming an arm extension that can protect you while allowing you to go unseen.
It's called CornerShot, and it was designed by two former Israeli Army senior officers Amos Golan and Asaf Nadel, who started a joint U.S.-Israeli company, Corner Shot Holdings, LLC, that produces commercial applications of this system for military and law enforcement agencies around the world.
The platform can be attached to a range of semi-automatic weapons, like Glock, SIG Sauer, Browning and Beretta pistols, presently used by Special Forces units and counterterrorist organizations, as well as Swat Teams, US Police special divisions.
It can turn the pistol into a short-barreled rifle using a swiveling front section, in fact an omnidirectional barrel that can turn 60 degrees. The recently introduced anti-tank rocket system can turn 90 degrees, the entire angle of the corner.
The best thing about this shoot-around-the-corner-system is the digital camera and flashlight, attached to front of the swiveling component, that sends video signals to a 2.5 in. color LCD monitor on the left side of the gun, that can come in handy even in stealth operations, where recon is most important than actually firing the gun.
This development is a modern interpretation of a World War II idea, the German "Krummlauf Attachment" but different in the sense that it's actually a device to which the firearm is attached, instead of being a device that is attached to the firearm, like the German prototype.
