Cornershot is trying to sell their "new weapons system" that they claim shoots around corners. Actually it's a camera system that simply fits over a regular pistol and allows the shooter to aim and pull the trigger while safely under cover.
If you think the photos look bizarre, check out the sales video. (11 MB) It looks like a 1970s B-movie, complete with disco soundtrack. Also, be sure to watch for the guy that actually takes cover behind an unhappy mule.
I guess a system like this has some practical value. But the thing looks awfully damned heavy to be carrying around, and keep in mind that it only shoots pistol calibers.

The Wehrmacht issued a variant of their MKb-44 with a curved barrel and a periscopic sight.
The problem is this type of thing affords an advantage in one specific situation, but it quickly becomes a liability in nearly all others.
Toys for grownups.
Ones that look fun and dangerous. The best kind!
