Curved barrels for firearms

[Frank S]

ROFL I particularly like the Darwin .38 I know a few I'd like to send one of those as a Christmas present along with a free range pass for them to familiarize themselves with it

A few major problems with those gadget laden corner shot firearms are, first off the 3 to 5 extra pounds of hardware it requires to make the thing functional reduces an individuals ability to carry a substantial amount of ammo which had he not been laden down with the gimmick gadget he would be able to carry enough ammo for a sustained fire fight. Next targets are rarely stationary plus most combatants you may face in an urban type battle zone will present you with only the briefest exposed silhouette trying to locate them through a view screen with a limited field of focus will be most difficult. Should the camera view be wide range then your eyes must search the entire field of vision then process all of this information on a tiny little screen, which as anyone who has ever tried to use their smart phone in the bright sunlight is not next to impossible it is impossible cubed. Your best chance for a kill shot is to take as low of a supported firing position as possible or a well camouflaged one then use something to draw their fire slightly away from that position like placing your helmet on a stick that you can partially expose at about normal standing height when they stick their head out to get a shot you place a round right along side the barrel of their weapon, even if you place it right down the bore of their weapon is just fine. He won't be returning fire with that weapon
