Those pesky corners
I am sure that building corners present a huge risk to many soldiers. How do you know somebody is at the other side, just waiting for you to show your face? One Isereal company developed an elegant solution.

They developed a gun that can bend near the muzzle to efffectively shoot around the corners. A camera is mounted at the bottom of the muzzle to allowe the shooter to see.
The only downside to this elegent solution is the cost. Each device (I'm not sure if they are talking about the gun or the mechanism) costs several thousands. Still, a price worth paying for saving lives.
