Not really blind firing seeing that you can see if someone is to close to fire.

But just imagine if everyone at a game was using one of these things....a lot of looking around and no one able to take a shot because there's noting to shoot at other than these periscopes sticking out from everywhere....

Why bother....

I'm just curious to know why others think blind firing should be/is illegal.

I know it allows you to make sure you're not shooting someone in the nads from 2ft away and you can't tell if you're gun was hit from around a corner. But I also know it's not very realistic, which is something airsoft prides iteself on, as blind firing happens in real combat because you're more worried about your own welfare than your enemy's.

I personally don't blindfire for the reasons stated above and I feel it's a cheap tactic but I'm curious as you why it's not more accepted in a sport where realism often takes precedent. Just playing devil's advocate.

I dont feel that it should be illegal, just that it should be used with discretion, extreme discretion.

like extremely slow semi-auto only or else it's just not realistic

proud tactical makes a corner shot for airsoft. i believe it's meant to mount onto an aimpoit, or acog. can't remember and their site is down.

i dont have it nor do i know anyone who does, but it seems like itll do the trick. if anyone has it lemme know how well it works! only prob i can see is that it only works on aimpoints...would be pretty spiffy with an eotech!

Shit dude, good find. Didn't know that existed. For $50, that's pretty cool.

No, since you're aiming it's no longer blind.

The problem I see with those periscope, is the narrow FOV they will give you. It won't be as safe as sticking your head out to aim. But I'd still allow it.

1200$ for the 1st model is just plain old anal rape with sand! I'd never pay for a bunch of mirrors and lenses like that. Unless it can be straped to my Nikon D200 and make damn nice photos!

True, but technically you only really need to see where the gun is pointed, and you really should be paying attention to what's around the corner, etc. first anyway, even if you aren't going to remain exposed to fire. The same type of tunnel vision applies to magnified scopes as well.

They do have right angle viewfinder adapters for SLRs/dSLRs (and they're about $150, too :P )

i think in a real life situation, the narrow field of view more than makes up for NOT having to stick your head out and aim. but in airsoft...it just seems pretty awesome to have another advantage (and accessory for the gear whores like me).
