POF EYE CORNER SHOT GUN MADE PAKHISTAN
The POF Eye is available in several variations. It can be mounted with standard 9mm semi-automatic pistol, submachine gun or grenade launcher. It includes a small, high-resolution camera, laser sight and a colour LCD monitor, which can observe and view a target from various vantage points. The video camera enables forces to scan an area prior to pinpointing a target and broadcast the footage directly, in real time, to the operating team behind, or to a monitor at Command Post in the rear. Its head can turn 75 degrees.
The name given to Pakistani version of Corner Shot Gun is POF eye , with POF short for Pakistan Ordnance Factories. This product first came to limelight in late 2008 during the IDEAS 2008 in Karachi. Chairman POF Board Lt Gen Syed Sabahat Husain told the visiting delegates at IDEAS 2008 that this new product of POF may meet the requirement of law enforcing agencies in order to curb the terrorist activities. The live demonstration of this gun was also shown to the delegates.

POF Eye Corner Shot Gun Operations:
I am not sure if the weapon is currently operational or not , but to my knowledge its still not operational. Lt. Gen Sabahat Hussain did mention a the time of Ideas 2008 that Once the weapon is put into mass production, POF would take orders for its supply to prospective local and international buyers, which indicates its still in the proto-type phase. Although i reckon by now it is fully ready.
