    Question periscope

    I know that the Russian snipers used a periscope to look around rather than stick their heads up. Has anybody ever seen one, or a picture of one? I searched the web and could find no reference to it. PS I hope I posted this in the right section. Joe

    Your google fu must be weak. I just searched for "russian periscope" and found lots of references as well as pictures.

    It's also known as a trench periscope.

    Plus, it looks like a modern equivalent is already available for a reasonable price.

    I'd even consider getting one for giggles for that price.

    Thanks Streaker, I don't know why my search only came up with submarine scopes.
