Handheld Periscope

[Salah ad Din]

couldnt you fix a periscope like that to the ocular side of the scope, turn it so it points down and then just put your rifle over the parapet while aiming through the periscope

Perfect concealment while being able to kill

Nobody would suspect a milk carton on a sand dune/building roof!

Milk that's been out in that heat for even 10 minutes would count as a weapon.

Milk in high temperatures turns to. . . Hydro . . . plasmic . . . milk material able to blow up whole homes to dust xD

[BloodBane611]

Alvina, your milk carton has eyes. Creepy

Did anyone notice the IR marked on the button on the fourth photo?

-lol, at first I thought "KKK on a flanking mission?".

I'd run around with a $568.00 periscope, but then again, I don't live in Iraq.
Mirrors are great, but mirrors don't magnify at all.

actually, they can do: Curved mirror - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've just learnt that on Physics class. I can give you the formulas :0D

Cruved Mirror does make an image in an object (inverted).

[Joeziah]

going to texture it tonight, this is my first object I've ever modeled or textured so this is pretty fun.

I'm going to try and animate it so when you pull it out he extends the top part.

Anyone able to do the coding part where I make it so it actually zooms or something not to mention sits 2 feet above ones head would be helpful.

2 weapon slots you say?

Cool, That means you can have 1 for "Top over hill view" and 1 for "Side round corner view". Oh Dam. I Just realized that you may want 3 weapon slots for it. Need 2 for left/right. Ok, Drop the coloured smoke. You still have the normal grey stuff.

The $600 Periscope beats the Milk carton because of the "ZOOM".

[badmojo420]

Perhaps for left & right, you might be able to use fire & alt fire. Although that might screw with the ability to set markers while looking into the periscope.

[Wh33lman]

Rather than snipotzors, i would give it to insurgents so they could make their ambushes.
Thus no zoom would be needed as they really don't have scopes anyway.
Maybe only to collaborator.

i like both ideas, Zoom for snipers, and non-zoom for insurgents. i mean, i once made one irl with some paper towel tubes and a broken CD. how hard could it be for an insurgent to make one?

perhaps right click sights in (up first), then changes to right side, then left side before un sighting?

edit: a link to some pics of a real one... Image Gallery

That image is obviously been created in photoshop... For one thing the wall is at an angle(and you can cleary see that it was just pasted over the image, very noticible in the center of the image), the bricks dont line up with each other, the soldier has no left foot (and is layered on the image), the M4 has a scope, but nothing attaching it to the gun(which is also just layered over the image), the ground is made up of gigantic repeating layers...I could go on and on..



Interesting idea, but a REAL reference image would be more useful in support of your idea...

It is a real reference image. So what if the two images were slapped on top of eachother, and someone's 4 year old smacked the keyboard and clicked the mouse all round the floor of the image, there's still two men in gear using the periscopes. It may not be a very good reference, but it is indeed one.

And yes, the images of the men using them and the wall they are behind are true photographs; if someone can screw up the image that bad yet can get shadows that true-to-form, someone's an idiot savant with creating shadows in photoshop.
