Ok, I apologize up front because I know this must be a dupe.  I'm an old guy and never the first to hear about ANYTHING.  Nevertheless, I did many searches and couldn't find anything on this so I said WTH.

Check out this thing that lets you use your optic around corners!  It looks so cool to me.  Obviously, the weakness is that you would have really bad field of vision.  But still!!

I wouldn't mind playing with one but I'm not in the mood to drop $196 on one at the moment.

I haven't seen that one, but I played around with one from Accutact (sp?), I believe it was called the "Angle Shot" or "Angle Sight," and it seemed to work as advertised.  It wasn't attached to the optic, but mounted behind it (like a magnifier would be) and you could see through it looking straight ahead/normal or from the side without any adjustment.  I think it was similar in price, maybe even a bit more IIRC.

So basically, it's a super expensive M16 Sighting Device?

Seems like it would be pretty difficult to acquire a target quickly with that unless it always reorients "up" regardless of what angle your weapon is canted at.

Being mounted on the AK seems appropriate given some of the Syrian videos posted, lol.

Would be a nice tool to have.
