Description
This is something a little off-the-wall from my original stuff.
I went off on a mental tangent today and somehow ended up on the movie, Wanted, with the curving bullet idea.
Upon doing research, I learned that the conventional ballistic weapon cannot curve a bullet efficiently and/or accurately, because of the way a bullet rotates and travels through the air.
So that got me thinking: if I just made a gun that went around all of these obstacles (no pun intended) then it should technically be possible. First of all, it had to be really hi-tech, because I doubt we have the feasible technology today to pull off something like this. Second of all, because it was hi-tech it had to be bad-ass looking and even more bad-ass in how it functioned. But, before I go into the explanation of this, I want to FIRST state that I have an EXTREMELY limited amount of knowledge on how guns function, and also the same lack of knowledge as to the physics of a bullet. Therefore, there are some un-dodge-able mistakes in my concept. By posting this, I'm asking more for what you think of it, rather than criticism on how it might not work. So here we go:

This gun is designed to do two things-shoot around the edge of a corner, and curve bullets. I will go into detail about how these two things are performed with the gun.

1-The Magazine-the ammunition stacks twice in the clip at the angle of the longer end of the back of the magazine. I don't have a specified amount of ammo that it holds yet. Why does it load in the back? It's sci-fi. But if you want a REAL, made-up reason, it has less chance of jamming then if it was the other way due to the extreme angle that the ammunition rests at inside the magazine.

2-An outlet for an optical sight device-I didn't have the patience to draw such a thing, but it's basically a scope that sits on the eye socket (by adhesive, by an attached band that loops around the head, etc.) and with a cord, attaches into the place specified. If you look at #13 in the picture, that is a camera that records whenever the sight is attached. This is used for accurate, long range shooting, and also shooting around the edge of a corner, which I will get to.

3-Lid cover to LED display-This protects the screen underneath. The screen displays information from the small calibration system within the gun, which helps with stabilizing the aim, and other things.

4-The safety-These are already common place on guns now, I thought it should be included. Its purpose is the same as any other gun safety, except it functions electronically, which is why it is only a small switch.

5-Emergency Magazine Eject-Sliding this switch towards the magazine will unlock it, allowing it to come out.

6-Console navigation buttons-These are used to navigate the menus and adjust the settings on the screen. Pretty self-explanatory, I think.

7-Chamber Transfer-After a bullet is fired or a clip is inserted, these two chambers come together to transfer a bullet from the back chamber into the front one. The mechanisms for propelling the bullet are all located in the front section and are controlled electronically.

8-Barrel Extensions/Joints-These come into place for what I mentioned earlier about shooting around the edge of the corner. If the wielder so desires, they are able to turn the front barrel a maximum of 90 degrees. The joints are composed of a thin, titanium mesh that can compress and extend to allow such a radical flexion of the barrel. The open, back end of the front barrel closes when any sort of flexion occurs to preserve the force of the bullet. And just so there is no confusion, a bullet will not be transferred unless the barrel returns to the default position. It can set so that the barrel automatically returns, loads, and then returns to its previous position. The joints are also used with the automatic aim stabilizer, where a point is designated (or locked-on to) and the joints work simultaneously to keep a steady aim on the mark.

9-Barrel Extension/Joint Bases-These attach to the joints and are there to prevent the hyper-compression of said joints, which would warp and damage the mesh. These bases are on a spring-loaded track that slide towards the front end of the gun the bullet is fired, which absorbs some of the recoil, while also allowing for the two barrels to come together to transfer the next bullet.

10-The shell dispenser-Unlike most guns, this dispenser does not function off the recoil sliding the top of the gun backwards and ejecting the shell. This dispenser is more of an electronic, sliding door that, for the most part, functions the same way a normal dispenser would.

11-Motor ventilation-the barrel is controlled by a powerful motor that spins the barrel at high velocity to create a spin of the bullet before ejection. Because it runs at such high power at some points, there needs to be a way for heat to escape.

12-Power cord-this transfers power from the battery located in the back barrel to the front barrel. The phosphate ion battery powers all of the electronic functions of the gun (which is pretty much everything). The power cord is cased in the same titanium mesh as the barrel joints.

13-The camera-this is used when an optical sight is attached to the gun.

14-The casing-this cradles the bullet, which is seated inside.

15-The bullet-the bullet itself is spherical in shape, the best (and pretty much only) efficient shape for properly curving a bullet. If you can see, there are evenly spaced recessions on the bullet much like you would see on a golf ball. These are for catching air resistance to help the bullet curve, along with the spin that the chamber puts on it.
