Israel develops gun that shoots around corners

The Jerusalem Post (www.jpost.com) reports that Israel has developed a gun that can shoot around corners:
Shown to the public for the first time Monday, the “Corner Shot” is actually an apparatus containing a small, high-resolution camera that attaches to handguns. It allows the operator to stick the pistol around a corner without exposing themselves, aim and fire. […]
The apparatus can house a variety of pistols, including GLOCK, SIG SAUER, CZ and BERETTA handguns. It can also be adapted to fit an M-16 rifle or tear gas launcher. The device swivels 63 degrees to the left or right and is the only system in the world that allows the shooter to keep their entire body around a corner and out of the line of fire, Golan told reporters.
“The Corner Shot weapon system can be extremely beneficial in the global war on terror. It protects soldiers’ lives and increases their chances of survival, while drastically improving their ability to gather information,” said Golan,49, a former deputy commander of an anti-terror unit.
The unit was particularly suited to urban warfare or commando raids into airplanes, buses or trains, he said.
“The Americans are very interested in this,” Golan said. “I believe from what I have seen and heard that it can be a big success in Iraq because the Americans are dealing with an urban area there.”
