Say hello to the Canon M4 D Mark II, the assault camera that shoots 10 shots per second and is equipped with a 100-400mm scope. The barrel is able to extend and retract, and offers stabilization features while in use.

This funny little arrangement was created by French photography studio KOEphotography and shared on its Facebook page.

This idea may have been inspired by an advertising campaign launched earlier this year by the group Canadian Journalists for Free Expression (CJFE). The ads showed weapons created using journalist equipment, and carried the tagline, “Information is Ammunition“:

If you have the necessary pieces for creating your own camera rifle, give it a shot and share your result with us! We’ll feature the best ones we receive.


P.S. Here’s our “camera gun” that we quickly threw together in a few minutes (pretty bad, we know):
