Here's one they developed back in 1960.

Experimental Curved barrel Machine Gun developed from the RPK light machine gun (1960)

N.F. Makarov designed a curved barrel assembly and K.T. Kurenkov developed a ball-shaped mount.Consequently, they performed all the work required to create a curved barrel machinegun with a 90 deg. barrel curvature. The machine gun was intended to arm tanks, more precisely to protect them in the "dead zone" that cannot be engaged by conventional straight-line machinegun fire. To resolve the problems of disabled or trapped tanks it was decided to mount such machineguns on the turret hatch.The tankmen were not very enthusiastic about it, to say the least. Consequently, the idea to protect tanks by curved barrel machineguns was abandoned and all activity to this effect came to an end.

Well the real scary part is the improvements from old to new. The never ending quest to find a better way to kill somebody. It's a miracle any of us are still here at all.

and we have all ready tested it ?????

The OICW will be the most versatile weapon ever built. It can kill targets hidden around corners or dug in half a mile away.

Soldiers going into battle in the next century may carry a weapon so advanced it will make today's assault rifle seem as primitive as the muskets fired at Bunker Hill.

Wow Hutch that looks like a weapon used in some of the games of today, hopefully(but doubtful) there will be no soldiers going to war in the next century.. That is 1 wicked looking gun...
