The 30 most stupid inventions in human history

01 Curved barrel submachine gun

The curved barrel submachine gun, this M3 submachine gun with a curved barrel, was invented in 1953 to shoot around the corner of the wall. However, its safety and accuracy are questionable, and I am afraid that it is only suitable for the kind of person who "draws the gun and shoots, and then sees who the target is" after the fight. The problem the gun was trying to solve did plague the military and police of various countries for many years, and using cameras to assist in aiming, Israel "reinvented" the cornering gun.
