I got to play with one last week. They are pretty interesting. I didn't get to shoot it, but it seemed simple enough. It easily "flips" from corner mode to straight-firing with a flick og the grip.

I was surprised to hear that it is designed to work with many handguns. It will even work with the M26 Air Tasers!

I just wish I had the chance to play with it a little on the range.

There was a radio ad for it this morning on Washingtons WTOP at 7AM. WTOP is one of the major radio stations in the Capitol area. It does do some defense related radio spots, but normaly for the larger companies like Lockeheed Martin , General Dynamics, Boeing.

Never have heard a radio spot for a gun before. The promo explained how it could shoot around the corner, while the operator could see what was happening on the camera, it also explained how the video feed could be shown to the rest of the team by a 2nd screen mounted to the back of operator to let the rest of his team see what was going on. It stated that it could be quickly configured to engage targets to either the left, right, or straight on.

It will be interesting to see what happens.

HTH

as per the article in Union Tribune i read about 2 weeks ago, it can be adapted to shoot tear gas, have air taser attachments, and even a grenade launcher attachment.

If you watch the Future weapons program on the Israeli military they have a pretty cool system like this.

The Australian Military just slaps a folding sight on a standard weapon system and that works just as well.

Cheaper, and adaptable to any standard weapon system with a rail for the sights.

Seems to be a smarter move....

Weren't those weapons above in the movie "Wanted"?

Played with one a couple of years ago. You can see what is on the other side of the corner and if detected drop the sucker. With a mirror you just alert them that you are there.
