Would have to argue otherwise erik.

Periscope rifle = Weapon displaced + External Trigger Mech + Viewing system
Corner Shot = Weapon displaced + External Trigger Mech + Viewing system
Curved Barrel = None of the above.

Only difference is the periscope rifle is designed for shooting over a surface rather than around. The same concepts are employed where as the german MG is useless if you need to see the target, trigger is better though

"M3 sub-machine gun with a curved barrel for shooting around corners. It's the perfect gun for the "shoot first, look where you're shooting later""

I was meaning the corner shot is a upgraded and modern version of the curved barrel.
