Hidesight: Cheaper "Cornershot" Alternative

OptimusPrime

This add-on device allows you to shoot at various angles whilst exposing less of yourself. This useful at shooting from corners and obstacles and catch the unsuspecting enemy. It costs €450  €145 at their online shop... "The Hidesight® is an add on device for red dot and holographic weapon sights. It mounts behind the main sight, and enables the user to see trough the users existing red dot, or holographic sight while staying concealed behind obstacles. Hidesight enables the user to observe or engage targets while staying protected from direct fire/ observation. Hidesight is highly useful in situations where the opposing force is significantly larger in size, carrying body armor is not an option, or when the opposing force tries to advance with help of indirect fire.

Hidesight projects a non magnifying, non inverted “true image” view trough the weapons main non magnifying optics. It is light weight and can be pushed aside from the sighting path, without detaching from the picatinny mount.

It mounts behind the main red dot/ laser dot sight, on a picatinny rail. It is compatible with a wide variety of  1x magnifying (non magnifying) red dot and laser dot sights. It enables the user three selectable viewing modes where the first one is the normal mode.

Hidesight viewing mode options, normal mode, side view mode and trench mode:

Normal mode, the sights both frames are pressed closed. This allows the user clear view trough the Hidesight, in the traditional shooting position. In this mode there are no lenses between the users eyes and the primary sight, only air.

Side view mode, where the sights first frame is open, making an +90degree viewing angle. This mode is designed to be used mostly on house corners or  window frames, allowing the user to be as close to the protective object as possible.

Trench mode, where both frames are open, making an +45 degree viewing angle. This mode is best suited for trench like firing positions where the user sights over a covering wall, bolder or mound.

The Hidesight can be rotated 270 degrees around the main optical axis in any of the modes."
