Default Who supplied armorer's CornerShot's

I been to every gun selling site and read every youtube video and could not ever find a CornerShot on auction. Probably because CNN said this weapon system will onfortunately not be sold to civilians. Were these weapons systems real or replicas if they were real how could armorer's get them when they originated from Isreal? It says that this weapon system will only be sold to Police, Military and Government Agencies.

armorers have special exemptions, thats why they can get mp7s and p90s.

I've only seen a real Cornershot in the show Flashpoint and a kind of fictional one in Wanted

Those "Special Exemptions" are Class III liscenses so they can own full-auto guns, rifles and submachine guns with barrels less than 16", shotguns with barrels less than 18", and suppressors.

We used one in the TV series Flashpoint.
Up here I believe it's legal to own one without any permits as it is not considered a firearm, just like a M203.
But I'll look into this as I might be wrong.

It's a non-gun up here, though of course the pistol in it would be. The only reason it would be illegal is if it could pull the trigger fast enoguh to simulate automatic fire.

I want a CornerShot. Luck Canadians...

Living in New York, I'm sure they're too scary to own here. God knows what the politicians would think about citizens being able to safely shoot around corners.

If i heard correctly, in NYC they also passed a law about something against shooting an intruder in your home unless you can prove it or some bullshit
