Corner Shot 40mm Grenade Launcher

Sharp shooters trapped in corners and other closed environments won't need to engage in blind fire to save their ass anymore. The Corner Shot sports a hinged frame that extends the grenade launcher barrel horizontally at a 60-degree angle, along with a digital camera under the barrel and a video screen that provides sneak-peak viewing and accurate targeting. It's capable of firing single 60mm rounds, tear gas, and less- and non-lethal explosives, and has a target range of 150 meters as well. Why didn't anyone think of this before?

Matador Rocket Launcher

Specifically designed for urban warfare, the Matador was built to destroy brick walls and vehicle armor. It uses a warhead with minimum blast back that works best in confined and indoor settings, and features a switch that alters the time intervals between the two detonation charges contained in the projectile. There are two firing modes. Short Interval Mode sets off the second detonation immediately after the first to create a passageway through a wall and Blast Mode can trigger the second explosion inside a building after the first breaks through the wall by increasing the time intervals between both detonations. Check the blast master in action to see what we're talking about.

KAC M110 Sniper Rifle

On top of being the standard firearm for the U.S. Army, Knight Armament's gas-operated sharp shooter is also the military's first semi-automatic weapon to be used as a sniper rifle in the field of combat. In comparison to the standard bolt-action rifle, the M110 Sniper Rifle has a 4-1 hit ration and an effective shooting range of up to 3,2000 feet. Sound suppressor night vision also provides a more clear and accurate targeting system, no matter the time of day. See for youself.

XM25 Smart Grenade Launcher

U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan received this beauty as a Christmas present late last year. The programmable grenade launcher carries four tiny warheads and can fire 25mm. shells up to 2,300 feet (almost half a mile). But the X25's sickest feature is the ability to program the shell to explode at any given point. It also sports different sight, sensor, and laser functions, as well as a short barrel that's "the size of a cannon". No wonder soilders refer to it as "The Punisher". The Army looks to arrange full-scale deployment sometime within 2012 or 2013. In other words, we're not leaving the Middle East anytime soon.

Beretta LTLX7000 Shotgun

This prototype launches bullet shells that can penetrate a target with with the same force regardless of the the shooting distance. Simply configure the range using the shotty's holographic scope and set the aim by aligning two red dots at the head and feet of your target. Then pull the trigger and blast off some less-lethal rounds. A shot with a 50-foot range can hit a target with the impact velocity of 211 mph, which is enough force to take someone down. See what the end result is when shooting a target from 230 feet away. Nearly identical.

M32 Multiple Grenade Launcher

This semi-automatic monstrosity is capable of firing six 40mm grenades in less than six seconds; 18 in a minute. That's just the tip of the smoking barrel. It also shoots HUNTIR rounds, which float to the ground via parachute and capture aerial video footage, as well as HELLHOUND rounds-extremely powerful projectiles that can be fired from 140 yards and obliterate everything in sight. God damn. Check out the shooter's reaction when he unloads six rounds into an empty truck from over 100 feet away.

HK M320 Grenade Launcher

Heckler & Koch's M320 can either serve its purpose as a powerful grenade launcher or bring double the pain by attaching itself onto an M4 Carbine or M16 assault rifle. It fires all NATO grenades (high-explosive, illuminating, and smoke), as well as less-lethal rounds, and provides better shot accuracy and first-hit probability thanks to its handheld Laser Range Finder. There's also a Day/Night Sight feature created by Insight Technology that allows shooters to maneuver and let off shots effectively in the dark.

Barrett MRAD .388 Sniper Rifle

The MRAD (Multi-Role Adaptive Design) Sniper Rifle shoots the military-favorite .338 Lapua Magnum and offers a fully modular configuration system that supports upgrades and add-ons. It has a user-changeable barrel system that opens the lane for caliber conversions and maintenance. And most noticeably, it has an ambidextrous magazine release and features a thumb-operated safety, which is an unconventional feature for any bolt-action rifle. Hunters can cop it this summer, but until then watch a video of the MRAD in action. by Complex
