Looks like one of those extreme WW1 trench guns.
I see an extended trigger pulling devise and two mirrors attached to the 90degree turns on the stock to aim with.
Interesting photo.

Yup! So you can aim and shoot without sticking your head out in the open.

looks like something from a Tim Burton movie.

Yup, Lebel periscopic trench rifle, 8mm, World War One.

Really neat.

Where is this one hiding?

 

[Bruiseleee]

I thought it was for people with long necks.

 

[John Sukey]

Basicaly a device to prevent getting an 8mm hole in your helmet

 

[Calum]

Necessity is the Mother of invention.

I wonder how they chambered another round?
