That should be “Der gebogene Lauf.”
Crazy Germans.
just get Angelina if you want to shoot around corners
this is cool! did they use balls as projectiles? i can’t see bullets shooting through that curve…
so you think the bullet would roll down the barrel? hm.
stupid as shit invention.
It fired regular bullets. That curved bit would just deteriorate very fast, and I think it would only last for 50 shots? Or something very short lived.
Maybe if it was titanium
also, they didn’t use it mainly because the curve caused to large a loss in velocity.
It was featured on a Future Weapons episode about corner shot guns used by SWAT/special forces. The current ones use cameras and foldable stocks. They were comparing old tech to new tech. That’s all I remember.
This same technology was used in creating Ron Jeremy.
