Shooting around corners
December 17, 2003
A cool weapon from the Israelis - the Corner Shot:

Good for anti-terror and SWAT teams, but I dread the day it gets into the hands of an overzealous sniper (remember Maryland?).





An executive Agency that had been part of the British MoD called DERA (The Defence Evaluation and Research Agency) developed something similar about 8 years ago - they got the idea from the film Aliens for a gun that could not only shoot straight, but also around corners. In the film a camera arm had been used and DERA just refined the idea.
