Gunmakers at Knight’s Armament Company made this concept gun as somewhat of a “joke,” building it in their spare time after work.
It was designed to have the ergonomics of a chain saw, and the firepower of a SAW (Squad Automatic Weapon). It’s based on the idea that heads up displays no longer require a gun to be held up to the face for aiming. Theoretically, this type of grip could be applied to many different weapons in the future.
This is also kinda cool:

Aimpoint makes this Concealed Engagement Unit, a periscope that allows soldiers to shoot while taking cover. They can point their gun around a corner while holding it at arms length, and look at it from the side. Their targets will be visible through the red viewing port. It can be used in combination with the company’s 3x magnification scopes and electronic sights. Periscope: $312
