Sure glad someone was working on the problem of not being able to shoot around corners.

What is the purpose of the stock when the gun will kick to the side anyway?
Yeah, I know it can go straight too...just strikes me as strange.

If you look close, all that is is a handgun in some kind of modified rifle stock design. Looks like it uses mirrors or some kind of optics for sighting.
Lousy range and accuracy at best.
Nothing I would call high tech by any means.

Very basically, the U.S. military wanted a weapon system that mates a conventional rifle with a 20mm "cannon" that is capable of delivering a special munition that can be user set to explode with an airburst at user determined and programmable ranges. What looks like an M16 underneath should give you pause to look closer. It is a variant of the HK G36K, with an M16 magazine adapter! This is something that HK promises for the conventional G36 series as well. The selector switch and the flash hider are the G36K variant giveaway.
Proof once again that when the military needs something on the cutting edge, HK is the logical choice. A bargain price for the military? $10,000 to $12,000 each, and $25-$30 a pop for the 20mm ammunition. The military plans an initial order of 45,000 units, and for them to be fielded with special units by 2009. The U.S. Military has given the OICW the designation M29.

That has got to be a heavy weapon. Looks bulky as hell too. I doubt that will be something many combat arms will like too well.

Wah la, the ZF1
Its light, the handle is adjustable for easy carry. Good for rightys and lefties, breaks down into four parts, undectable by x-ray. Ideal for quick discreet intervention. A word on fire power, Titanium recharger with a 3000rmp liquid burst with 3 to 300. With the replay button (another zorg invention) It's even easier. One shot, and reply sends every following shot to the same location. And to finish the job, All z' old goldies with oldies.
Rocket Launcher
Arrow Launcher (With explosive or poisenous gas heads) Very Practicle
Our Famous Net Launcher
The Always efficient flame thrower (My favorite)
And for the grand finale, our new ice cube system.

Now a killer when he picked up the ZF1, would have instantly asked about the little red button on the bottom of the gun.
