Dont you hate this?

Have you ever though of something and then see it being made or you read about it?

Well I though about making this: http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/09/u...r-night-scope/

like 3 years ago

How on earth can that be patented...

no idea but the comments on engadget say its already made and been on discovery channel.

I've never fired a real gun so I don't know what the recoil is like but wouldn't that feel very uncomfortable trying to shoot with your arms held over your head?

Yes. But better uncomfortable than dead eh?

I knew that was coming. With nothing holding back the gun except for my hands I think I'd start to brace for the recoil once I knew I was going to pull the trigger and then I'd lose focus with my target.

thinking about it more i think the point of the device is to find targets without your head being popped up and then you get up to make the shot. I reason this because if you werent holding the gun properly and tightly the shot would be very unacurate. But this makes the invention seem silly now cause you will stilll have to get up to take the shot.

Some rifles can be shot like that. Not every gun has monster recoil heh

Better to use a tiny camera on a wire than shove your rifle into view, don't you think?

I'd say if it's real it would have to be for shooting. Maybe our military is being trained to have strong wrists.
