Rifle parascope

[StantonCree]

I had never seen this before and thought it was actually pretty cool. Didn't know if you all have seen them so I thought I'd post it. I saw it on one of those pawn stars shows. Some guy had an original one, really neat piece of history. I know if I was in the mud pits I'd prefer one over popping my head out.

I just saw this on cajun Pawn Stars and the PS paid $ 50K for it....SWEET!!!

I wonder what the trigger pull is like with that linkage system

Those are really cool, although I doubt you could hit anything very accurately with that setup.

I'm watching it also they have a BAR on this episode.

Oh...you mean periscope. I was wondering what a guy under a parachute would need with a scope.

I saw that tpo. Pretty nifty, but yeah, it looks pretty unstable and inaccurate. I think the test they did was a shot at a bottle of orange soda at 50 yards or something. It was a hit, but I really wonder how well it shoots past that. It just looks like a very unstable platform to fire a rifle from.
Although if I was stuck in the trenches of the Western Front, I'd probably want one of those! Beats sticking your head above ground.

interesting to say the least...

Sure as hell beats the alternative - popping your head up out of the trench and possibly catching a round in it, agree that it can't be the most accurate method of fire though.

I wonder if it made it to the front while the trench war was in progress. Very interesting and cool piece of history!

I don't know about the trigger pull, the recoil should be sweet though
