This one was developed to shoot the guy hiding behind the wall.-

From what i saw in video,it uses a conventional pistol mounted in a adjustable stock,switchable from straight to 45 and 90 degree angle. From my understanding of federal laws,it's highly illegal to have shoulder stocks attached/mounted to handguns or them mounted in stock like that UNLESS it's licensed as A.O.W.=any other weapon. As aow,it's then legal,same as supressors,short barreled shotguns/rifles,etc.

Didn't the Germans do that in WWII?

Basically what the germans did in ww2 was to make a barrel that was prebent. This was to be able to shoot troops off the tank without exposing themselves.

The "around the corner" gun used an over-diameter barrel bent 90 degrees so it could "bounce" bullets around the corner. I believe there was even a U.S.-made "greasegun"SMG barrrel made like that either towards the end of WWII or shortly thereafter. Maybe we copied the German idea?? These barrels were not all fully enclosed-some had just half the barrel of solid steel to bounce the bullet off of.....

I do know that recoilless rifles such as our 57mm, 75mm, and 106mm weapons were developed at pretty much the same time by us, the Germans, and Soviets... parallel development.
