If this works it will represent a complete new way of shooting!

I saw this in a magazine the other day. Very radical. I love the concept of shooting around corners for our boys in the Middle East.

Super cool.

I'm not sure how it works, but it seems to me that you have to stick mark the target with a laser first...can do that around a corner with a cell phone or similar, but would be really difficult on a small screen to capture the target, especially if moving, by holding a rifle up over a wall while watching a cell phone type screen...ever try to shoot over your shoulder with a mirror...same type of idea.  Nevertheless, better than a bullet between the eyes!

I also think there is a set of glasses/goggles that work with the gun. Not just the small screen if I understand correctly. Perhaps that's the future.

In the event of a failure I hope you can rip all that gadgetry off and use some iron sites.
