ABSTRACT:
Hand-carried weapon has a stock offset below the barrel and receiver so that a shooter can keep his head below the barrel to fire from the protected position. A movable periscopic sight, when in the raised position, permits the shooter to see along a periscope-offset line-of-sight parallel to the axis of the barrel so that he can sight from a protected position. When the shooter has his head below the axis of the barrel, he can place his forehead firmly against the periscope to provide triangle support for the weapon with his forehead and two hands. When the periscope is in the lowered position, the shooter can hold and shoot the weapon with his eye on a straight line-of-sight through the sights, without being in the protected position. Secondary trigger permits the shooter to actuate the primary trigger from the protected position. The weapon can also be used to shoot from the hip.
