OK, must know, what in the holy hell was that right angle sniper rifle?

 

[gits]

Are you talking about the Larue OBR being used in the show?

Nooooo. Larue Tactical OBR is cool but not angled. There was an angled rifle in the opening scenes. As in, shoot from around the corner 'cuz the barrel can bend.

I believe what you are talking about is not a "Rifle". It is a system that has a pistol mounted on the front, a swivel system so you can change its direction, then a swing-out/flip-out video monitor on the rear alowing you to see where you are shooting.

Ah, see. I knew someone here would know. Thank you kindly.

The Germans did field a rifle during WWII that had a bent barrel that would allow the user to shoot at a 90% angle.

I thought they used a periscope to allow them to aim? Sort of like link of the French soldier below. Wouldn't a barrel bent at a 90 degree angle explode?

Thanks for the links! That is awesome!

It is a great rifle but the bent barrel didn't prove to be too successful.
