Glock Pistol)
1. Aim of the document: To lay down the qualitative requirements for a Corner Shot
Weapons System for 9 mm 1A1 (ex-RFI, Kolkata)/ 9 mm Glock Pistol.

2. Introduction: In order to enhance the potential of the in-service Pistol, there exists a
requirement to make available a portable system to enable the user to see, aim and fire around
corners. This would prevent/minimize exposure of the firer and enable him to detect and engage
targets effectively, using traverse firing, during day and night. The Corner Shot Weapon System
enables the user to see and fire around corners. The Corner Shot Weapon System consists of two
jointed sections. The forward section holds Pistol along with camera and other features including
tactical LED light, LASER device and other attachments. The rear section houses the operating
features, monitor, controls and has a foldable butt. Suitable fore grip is to be provided to enable the
firer to engage target located around the corner. This fore grip should also enable the firer to fire in
front as per requirement, in the same posture. The Corner Shot Weapons System should provide a
real time image of the target area, located around a corner to the user, with capability to aim and
engage targets accurately during day and night. The rear part of the system should have a monitor
for the camera and a trigger which activates the trigger mechanism of the mounted weapon i.e
Pistol.
