This was Germany's attempt to make a gun attachment that could shoot around corners.

This attachment has 2 variants: a 30-degree bend and a 90-degree bend. It also came mounted with mirrors so you could see what you are shooting at

This project performed poorly; many bullets snapped in half as they ricocheted inside the barrel, and it reduced the power and accuracy of the bullets being used. After a hundred or more rounds were fired, the attachment would snap in half.
