I've pondered and pondered and I still cant figure out how this gun can work in any possible way. Is it a joke? It is officially the weirdest gun I have ever seen.

Do you think that is a real gun......

ya , i thought that it was a joke the minute i saw it, but u never know.

sorry, double post.

it wouldn't work even if it was a airsoft gun.

Actually I take that back, unless that was put up as a practical joke, on the site it says it was an expiremental machine gun for tankers to use.\

ya thats real, most likey a trench or corner shot gun

[quote] N.F. Makarov designed a curved barrel assembly and K.T. Kurenkov developed a ball-shaped mount.Consequently, they performed all the work required to create a curved barrel machinegun with a 90 deg. barrel curvature. The machine gun was intended to arm tanks, more precisely to protect them in the "dead zone" that cannot be engaged by conventional straight-line machinegun fire. To resolve the problems of disabled or trapped tanks it was decided to mount such machineguns on the turret hatch.The tankmen were not very enthusiastic about it, to say the least. Consequently, the idea to protect tanks by curved barrel machineguns was abandoned and all activity to this effect came to an end.

They used an attachment in WWII with a curved barrel for the allies to shoot around corners. It was good for, ummm, I think it said 100 rounds or so. Saw it on the history channel

Thats almost as impractile as Rifle Gernades. I mean why... its just so pointless.

hahah impracticle...... they were extremely efective

yes but why would u want to do something so pointless? shoot a gernade out of a rifle, its just so Star Wars.

LMAO!!! That's great....

hmm so m203's are pointless? the point of a rifle grenade is to "shoot" a grenade not throw it, you cant throw grenades very far.

but when u put something on the end of a gun that is explosive and use it in combat u dont want it getting shoot form some one around a corner and it blowing up. M203 is a standalone thing, it doesnt need the rifle to use.

nah, im just going to stop now.

lol yea you should stop now, pretty dumb arguement.

lol everything in star wars is ww2 german based weapons

yea lol thats true.

The germans tryed that in WWII with the SG44 I think it was the SG44, any way. It didnt work very well. that is probably a experiment that most likly failed

yea the stg44. the russians did it on the ppsh41 i think too.

ehh light sabers.... they had early models - search lights. those put a beam up in to the sky and whatever it shined on got riddled with 88's

The Germans also toyed with cyrved barrels for the stg. 44 aka the MP44. some of the barrels were used in the final battles around berlin in '45. it had a curved barrel and a mirror optics set up so you could shoot around corners.

hmmm we shoudl perfect that and call it an OICW, theres less you sticking out the side.

Post jack:

looks kinda like something my hummer ran over!
