New Gun Shoots
Around Corners

DETROIT-tPl-The Army has
perfected a sub-machine gun that
shoots around corners.
And what is more, Joseph c.
Soma, project engineer at the
Detroit Arsenal, says the curved
barrel is more accurate than a
straight ons.
Sights are secret, Uut the gun
shoots .45 calibre slug that can
be defleeted as much as 80 de-
grees and will pierce an inch
thick pine Soard at 100 yards. It
viii fire 450 rounds a minute.
The around-the-eorner gun is
made by attaching a curved bar
rel to the Army's M-3 sub-ma-
chine gun, commonly known
among GI's as the Grease Gun. :
The new barrel. some said. is
now ready for large scale produc-
ton. 1t can be set to fire left or
right, up or down.
The gun using the curved bar
rel is a light type costing only
SIS to manufacture. The curved
barrel can be attached in less
than a minute.
Tank crews in Korea asked for
such gun TO shoot Communist
off the tops of their tanks. Often
they reported, they had to ask
other tank crews to blast Reds
who had crawled atop their tanks
