It had a mirror attached at the mid point and you simple lined your shot and sights up in the mirror. Then you could take the attachment off for normal shooting.

The Russians did it with their PPshs as well.

Post by: Harley on December 17, 2003, 12:22:18 PM: I've got a picture of one I took at an Army museum of the MP44 with the curved barrel device. You wouldn't want to actually curve the barrel itself since the friction of the bullets passing on the outside of the curve tends to wear it out faster.

Post by: Mr. Joseph on December 17, 2003, 12:27:35 PM: The german MP44 only curves a little bit. This new one looks like it will do a 90 degree corner around a building. I wonder how long it will be until someone buys one and puts an airsoft glock or beretta in it.

Post by: Raith on December 17, 2003, 12:39:59 PM: There is an MP44 version that bends 90 degrees. I wonder what the life expectancy of such a thing is...

Pretty interesting.

Post by: CADD on December 17, 2003, 01:41:22 PM: why not create a gun with the firing mechanism in front of the bend and electronically create the trigger behind the bend... recoil would be a bitch but hey.... no curve wear

Post by: azsarge on December 17, 2003, 02:57:07 PM: Its just a beretta with a bendable mechanism trigger thingy on it. But I like the rail on top. "Look, I see the dot on my CCO, but everythng I hit is way off. Cool!" Lets just hope they don't make one for airsoft. Every HavHav out there will pick one up and ruin the CQB games from here to eternity.

Post by: HavHav on December 17, 2003, 03:02:37 PM: Thanks man...Thanks. I have never even been to a CQB game that you attended, so you have no information to base that off of. Anyways, why would I waste the money (that I currently don't have) on a stupid looking gun?

Its not a Beretta, its just a mechanism that holds a firearm. Up until now I've only seen it with various Glocks in it. It straightens out so that you could use the rails parallel with the barrel.

Post by: Ninja on December 17, 2003, 03:42:16 PM: Well apparently they're selling a bunch of these things, so they must be handy.

And that mechanism is holding a beretta in the photo.

Post by: busta_cap on December 17, 2003, 08:18:29 PM: Hmm. I first read about this mp44 device in the Book: "The Master Sniper". Thought it was fake but i guess i was wrong.
Title: interesting new toy

Ok so you wont see anyone with this at a game but its an interesting idea.. i can see a few upsides as well as possable down sides.
