This is quite possibly the most dangerous piece of weaponry ever invented. What do you do when the BG decides to walk around the corner while you have your weapon cocked at 90 degrees? Run diagonally?

No, it just shows that you're bent on getting a good angle on things.

That modified Glock came out like a year or so ago. I just saw one for a 40mm grenade launcher the other day.

A higher tech version of what the WWII guys had for the grease guns, and the germans had the Kremmerlaut for the STG-44's....

At first glance, a good thing to have in the inventory. But the applications are so limited....

These would be of use to swat type teams. Its not really for genraly militeray use. I saw this a couble of months ago already.
If a bad guy walks around the corner then your partner will shoot him. Or you drop that device and pick up your mp5/m4.

I don't know why that makes me laugh, but the images of the device poking around corners and stuff is just funny. Looks like some kind of mutant robot sock puppet.

Those were at the Shot Show.. Most folks were snickering after looking at them. But hey, it sure does look cool.

I dont think it will do too good in the market but I would seriously consider buying one.

you only use it with a team, everyone else is ready for that.
pretty cool, but really only useful for swat teams

That was their point....it's not a "give it to every guy" thing, it's a "give it to the pointman as you clear a building slow" thing. And it does lock in the forward position as well to be used basically as a carbine, with a push of a button.

If someone comes around the corner when you are getting ready to look, you just turn 90 degrees and shoot em. Duh. :p

I thinks I'd still prefer a regular pistol and a flash grenade.
-Tho' it ain't politically-correct, I know.

Put a can on that nifty device and you have something that is much more quite then a flash bang and pistol. Sometimes quite is good and less dangerous

I guess shooting around a corner could be usefull, assuming that the dude is standing still and letting you do it. But, it seems like a pretty small advantage when you consider that you are giving up a lot of your ability to shoot at guys who are right in front of you.

You know where I would like to have this thing...trenches.
If anyone on here has spent any time clearing trenches you know what I mean. You need a TON of men and a TON of grenades. This corner job could give you a few extra seconds without exposing yourself.

You perform the circle of death, just like in the good 'ol days of Mechwarrrior. Just run in a circle and fire.

I saw it at SHOT. No, they don't think you are funny when you ask if it plays DVDs.
My buddy figured out what it is really for. It is for shooting rioters while not getting hit with rocks.

I think you need to shoot around a corner with a 40mm you need some major remedial education..you shoot over the building and if the building is in the way you level it with the 40mm.

buttrap, a 40mm grenade is not going to level a building unless it's a tin hut. A HE round for the M203 weighs just a tick over a half pound...
Granted, they are hella fun to shoot, lobbing those things 300 m is great...I love seeing the round arch through the air!
