In the world of special operations, adaptability and versatility are crucial factors that determine success. When faced with challenging environments and unexpected threats, special operators need a weapon system that can provide them with a tactical advantage.
Enter the CornerShot Gun, a revolutionary firearm that has changed the game for special operators across the globe.
Invented by Lt. Col. Amos Golan of the Israeli Defense Forces in the early 2000s, the CornerShot Gun was initially developed for SWAT teams and special operations forces to tackle situations involving terrorists and hostages. It has since become another valuable tool in the operator’s arsenal, offering unique capabilities that enhance their effectiveness in the field.
Unleashing Tactical Superiority
Similar to Germany’s Krummlauf with a bent barrel attachment developed during World War II, the CornerShot Gun features a pistol—such as the Beretta 92F, Glock, or SIG Sauer—mounted in the front end of the weapon, bending horizontally at a sixty-degree hinge at mid-frame. This innovative design allows the operator to see and engage armed targets without exposing themselves to possible counterattacks. Equipped with a periscope rifle and a digital camera, the CornerShot Gun enables special operators to maintain a safe position while observing and neutralizing threats.
Enhanced Situational Awareness
The integration of a digital camera and flashlight, attached like a bayonet to the CornerShot Gun, plays a critical role in enhancing situational awareness. By providing a live video feed on a screen located on the butt side of the hinge, operators gain a comprehensive view of their surroundings, enabling them to make informed decisions and act swiftly. This advanced level of situational awareness ensures that operators remain one step ahead, minimizing risks and increasing mission success rates.
Improved Shooting Accuracy and Operation Management
One of the standout advantages of the CornerShot Gun is its laser-guided camera aim, which significantly improves shooting accuracy. By aligning the operator’s line of sight with the firearm, the weapon system allows for precise targeting, increasing the chances of hitting the intended target while minimizing collateral damage.
The advantages of the CornerShot Gun extend beyond the operator’s perspective. Live video feeds transmitted from the updated assault rifle provide a real-time understanding of the situation, enabling better decision-making at the command level. Additionally, by using another screen, officers or soldiers located behind the CornerShot Gun operator can view the same video feed, facilitating improved coordination and support.
Furthermore, the CornerShot Gun’s ability to facilitate the recording of the operator’s screen offers significant advantages for operation management. All target engagements can be documented, serving as valuable evidence for legal purposes and as a training tool to enhance future operations.

Application in Real-World Operations
The CornerShot Gun has demonstrated surprising success in real-world operations, solidifying itself as a highly effective and versatile weapon system. From hostage rescue missions to urban warfare and counterterrorism operations, special operators from various organizations around the world have relied on the CornerShot Gun to engage threats while minimizing risks.
Its ability to shoot around corners, over obstacles, and under vehicles has provided operators with a tactical advantage, allowing for precise targeting and increased situational awareness. Again, adding cameras and optics has further enhanced its effectiveness, enabling operators to maintain visual contact with targets and coordinate with team members. Moreover, its versatility and compatibility with different firearms have made it an invaluable tool in border security and anti-smuggling efforts. Its successes have not only resulted in mission accomplishments but also contributed to improved training and operational strategies.
Future Possibilities
As the CornerShot Gun continues to evolve, it holds even greater potential for advancements. Integrating technologies such as thermal imaging, night vision capabilities, and augmented reality could further enhance its utility in challenging environments. With ongoing innovation, special operators can expect the CornerShot Gun to provide them with an increasingly sophisticated and comprehensive tool to tackle complex missions effectively.
But It’s Not Perfect
While the CornerShot Gun offers unique capabilities and advantages, it also has some potential downsides. One significant drawback is its increased complexity and weight compared to conventional firearms. The additional components, such as the hinge, periscope rifle, camera, and flashlight, add bulk and may impede maneuverability in certain situations. The unique design and specialized nature of the CornerShot Gun also mean that operators need specialized training to effectively utilize and maintain the weapon system. This can require additional time, resources, and investment. Furthermore, the CornerShot Gun’s unconventional appearance may attract attention and reveal the presence of special operators, potentially compromising their covert operations. Additionally, the cost of acquiring and maintaining these specialized firearms may be higher compared to traditional firearms, posing budgetary challenges for military and law enforcement agencies. Overall, while the CornerShot Gun offers distinct advantages, it is important to carefully consider its limitations and suitability for specific operational requirements before implementation.
