sytasyn_syn Posted: August 19, 2008 Ever think that it would be cool to be able to shot around the corner? Well imma tell you to wait for a new weapon
http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2003/12/61616
Some of you may have seen this weapon on an episode of "Future Weapons" and had the wool pulled over your eyes but I am here to shine the light of truth for you...my ever so wandering sheep.
This weapons system is made in Isreal and I say keep it there!! I wouldnt use this rickity P.O.S. even if it were issued to me.
Heres the skinny on the "Corner Shot":
Its a weapons system that is a HUGE add-on to your glock or other suitable weapons. It is the size of a larger shotgun with a empty section in front for the insertion of the pistol. A camera attached to the front feeds the T.V., which swivels out, so you can watch what the camera see's. The shiny idea to this weapon is your ability to maneuver the section of the system holding the pistol 90 Degrees and in turn "shot around corners". So now that you turned a simple G19 (Glock Model 19) into a "weapon" longer and bulkier then an M16, only able to shot pistol rounds, my question is what else do you carry? I myself have felt the burden of carrying to much gear outside the wire, it sucks...hard! So using this logic, lets walk through this. If I am to carry something this big, I sure as hell want it to shot further the 50M and carrying two weapons plus the gear and ammo that come with them is just to much for the simple pleasure of shoting around a corner. Not to menton people can still see your weapon. Now I know what your thinking "Hey fucko, what about the M16 version they have, its your M16 as a corner shot...problem solved". First, dont call me a fucko...people dont even say that anymore. Second, it solves the pistol problem but creates another!!! I dont want to carry a weapon of the M16 caliber that stands as high as the average 15 year old. Its a monster weapons system. Not to mention it may be accurate for the first month but what do you think will happen to the moveable part after a few clicks and being bumped and banged by the average service member? The wear of the locking mechinisum is bound to give play to the right or left and I know if I got a shot 100M or longer, I want an accurate weapon. The idea is great but the design is flawed. I have seen one of these in real life and Imma tell you that the lever used to move the weapon to the "around the corner" postion is sticky sometimes and loose in others. It does not work as well as it seemed to on the show. My opinion is that I cant wait until something like this comes out thats worth buying. I think they had a great idea but released basically what you could consider a "Beta" version. The next generation corner shots will be well worth the purchase for Special Forces Commands and S.W.A.T. teams everywhere. A word of advise, "Buy the product, not the idea", the idea is for the companies to waste money on not you.
This is a Blog I am looking forward to getting comments on because with something so fresh (the idea) and a product so shitty, I cant wait to see what points I have missed that you all will find!

I think I'll pass. Sounds cool, but really bulky and complicated like you said. I'd rather just toss a frag grenade around the corner if i needed to.
May work for SWAT in a standoff situation, but unless there's a deadly threat, you can't use deadly force. If there is a deadly threat, why not just blow the mother f'er up?

You called yourself fucko!!I think its sniper shit its all about future development.Getting that one shot placement when your dug in and your pits fillin up
nimrod
S&W .357 Ancient weapon or modern tool. thiss works well.

I think the idea is stupid, I'd rather have a very small wireless camera attached to the picitanny rail of my SIG, M16, or any gun that has a picitanny rail, then have it wirelessly feed video into a HUD on my helmet, kinda like the the Land Warrior system. You don't even need a HUD, you can put the screen on a wristband or something. The camera itself would be like a laser sight mounted on your pistol.
Another thing that has a similar purpose and I think is a great idea is the 'camera grenade'. I think it was on Future Weapons, but I can't remember. It's a grenade, heavily weighted on the bottom, with 3 or 4 cameras mounted on the side to provide 360 view. You toss it in, switch to the feed on your HUD and you know whats happening right away. I had the idea that you could load it with a small amount of explosive and have it double as a remote-detonation grenade/mine, only you don't need a line-of sight to use it.

Hi there about the Camera grenade.There is a self righting object called a Mono monostatic "shape,object" Its the same as a weeble but doesn't rely on weights, it relies totally on its shape, it has tolerances of 100th of a mm if it is out by 00.01mm it will not self right. you throw it and it will always return to the same upright position.It all sounds very mondain but i think there are only 2 or three in the world and cost a bomb.Maybe I've totally come off subject just thought it was relevant maybe just maybe if a camera was inserted and the explosive, it could work.but i quess it would be easier to use a bottom heavy(weeble)type device.
The Mono monostatic object is what it is,it has no use or purpose ! its just a amazing piece of mathematics and engineering! Still it could be used exactly for this purpose? Interesting? To some!
Maybe have a look at this Info link below. The video link at the bottom gives a better understanding of what it is and looks like and QI is funny!
http://www.szt.bme.hu/Munkatrs/domokos/cikk_archiv/100/final/100.pdf
It was also shown on the BBC programme QI with Steven fry, which is very funny and worth watching in itself it's shown at 13.44 Min into the programme.

Thanks all.

A little to advanced for my taste. I prefer the straight up person to person fighting...but I guess I should get used to all the new technology thats swirling around me.
Nutty Basterd
yeah but your enemy doesn't.
gunslingerjake
trust me i have seen guys fuck the most most simple shit in the army why do you think we try and make stuff idiot proof for christ sakes we put the words "this side towards enemy" on a freeking claymore if you give joes advanced shit one they will break it two the will break it three the prolly wont know how to use it unless trained for 6 weeks on it
jmhuthut
...and then they will break it!!
MANDELBROT27
What do you mean? like blow up dolls or water melons in the kitchen store!No stupid me, you mean each other "simple shits"
Nutty Basterd
I think it's pretty cool but definitely only for certain situations. Although if I can own one that would just be tits. Thank you fucko for this blog
sytasyn_syn
Heeeeeeeey? Did I just get fucko'ed??? How dare you Nuts. I challenge you to a duel! On Guard.

Crusading Knight
Did that word just get invented here? lol
sytasyn_syn

Lmfao nice and corner shot idea is fucking stupid very inaccurate weapon system
coldfront
you fuckos need to watch the movie wanted. One is used in the first half hour of the movie. It's actually not that bad looking in action
gijohn60
I watched that movie last night...
Help me remember...was anything intentionally hit with the weapon? I remember many wasted rounds, but no wasted bad guys.
Also, using a weapon's performance in a movie isn't the most convincing evidence. Don't you agree?
fordvg
They are just upset they don't think of it first.LOL
GLOCKSTER
i aggree with coldfront and they do make corner shots in a sub machine gun and 40mm launcher i put some pics of them on here and i do aggree with gunslingerjake about some das not knowing htf to use the thing great idea great shitty product FUCKO!!!!!!!!!
