afaik, it’s still around something like 150 rounds, and just the barrel (and bullets) that get destroyed. Like every other shot comes out more as a tiny shotgun shot than a bullet.
Yup. And for something intended for field use only (no target practice), that’s totally fine. If you’re so up close and personal that you’re needing to shoot around corners and don’t need great precision, it’s not like it’ll need to last much longer anyway, just grab a new one for each op.

I’m surprised that nobody came up with a gizmo for holding a regular rifle around a corner while keeping the human body behind it.
“Corner Shot” wildly overcomplicated it, but basically it’s a fake rifle at the back and a real pistol at the front, connected by a hinge.

Bullets are surprisingly willing to redirect.
