Silver Shadow, an Israeli firearms manufacturer and authorized supplier to the country's Defense Ministry and police, unveiled recently the newest addition to its Corner Shot family of products, the Corner Shot Scorpion Pole. According to the company, it is the only telescopic system that enables operators to observe and fire on a hostile target utilizing a vertical standoff from a safe distance (up to 3.8 meters) behind cover, away from the threat. The system, which weighs approximately 3.5 kg, is built from a telescopic pole with camera systems for day and night vision and a handgun. The system will be available in March to military and law enforcement entities.
The Corner Shot Scorpion Pole system is portable in its collapsed state, and the desired length/height may be set quickly according to the tactical situation and the space to be accessed. The gun sights are aimed according to the crosshairs on the screen before use, and the system can be folded and carried on the operator's back so it can be quickly deployed. The system is leaned against the operator to allow easy shifting between targets and minimum movement while firing. It can be useful in such scenarios as shooting over walls, or into tunnels, elevator shafts, or windows two stories above or below, Silver Shadow says.
The Corner Shot Scorpion Pole is made of three parts: the base, body, and head. The base contains all of the operational components, including the trigger, grip, and monitor. Emphasis has been placed on the shoulder rest, keeping the shooter’s comfort and stability in mind. If more stability is needed, there is an option of replacing the stock base with a tripod-like base. The body is the telescoping pole. To aid in carrying the system, the pole collapses for transport, but can be easily extended for operational use. The head contains the pistol housing, camera, and flashlight. Other tools like a glass-breaker can be added as well. The head can articulate 180 degrees in 45-degree increments. The HD camera sends the target image to the monitor, allowing the operator to scan the area and select the target. This can be done in situations during the daytime or at night with various camera options. The camera housing aims the camera according to the image on the monitor, which includes crosshairs showing where the pistol sights are pointed, according to the company.
