The Photosniper SLR-"guns" were made by KMZ. Maybe the conception behind these "shooters" was to give photographers who were gunmen a tool for shooting tele-exposures with a more quiet hand.
Photosniper FS-12
The Photosniper FS-12 rifle trigger operated SLR was delivered in a tin suitcase as a set with 58mm Helios lens and 300mm Tair tele lens. It was a Zenit 12S SLR body with M42 screw mount together with a rifle-stock-like device that served as a combination of shoulder/hands "tripod" and shutter release device. The focusing could be done by means of the metal wheel in the front of the gun stock.
