A bipod?
« on: March 20, 2008, 04:24:56 PM »
Hey, I want to know everyone's opinion on a Bipod. One that I can slide on and off rails.
1) Is it reasonable?
2) Breaks easy?
3)Is it cumbersome? Bulky?
Thanks

my gun is the top pict.

I would use it to help steady my aim and get decent shots...
(I plan on going sniping, but using an AEG..)

Don't worry, minute of airsoft accuracy doesn't require any fancy breathing.

It's not hard to hit a person that's 50 yards away.

If your arms can't hold up an 8 lbs gun long enough to shoot a man sized target at 50 yards away, you should be spending your money on some wieghts  :lol: j/k

mind you combat marksmanship doesn't require breathing, just the right position, and thats real life too not airsoft.  Just going to put this out there, don't snipe, for more than one reason:
A: a real/good sniper rifle in airsoft is pricey
B: in the airsoft world its more like hunting then sniping
C: you like many others are not "born" snipers
D: its not cool like the video games.
E: you have to be pretty good to pull that ish off anyways.
i think most everyone could vouch for me on this, but i'm just trying to help you out since you seem pretty new to airsoft

I\'ve touched that gun with my hand which had touched my penis. I hope you did not touch your mouth after touching that gun. That would mean your had put part of my penis in your mouth.

I don’t know about 14 pounds, but some rails are not made of that fancy aluminum that is all nice and light.

You forgot one -
F: sniping in airsoft is about as advantageous as putting high octane fuel in a Ford POS.  Doesn't really work any better but it sure does make you feel good.
