Bi-pods

yea, a ruck or assault pack is easier to carry than a sand bag, and you can always put some pogy bait in there to munch on if you end up posted in one spot for awhile... or if you just get hungry =)

Just wondering, but does anyone play a whole game with their bi-pod deployed (as seen in COD MW and COD MW2). I would think that it would save needed time (for deployment) but would hinder movement.

The thing is, the bipod only takes a couple of seconds to deploy. I'm not saying that I or others haven't done it, but rather that there is little need for it when you can reach forward and pull the legs down in the span of about 5 seconds, so you're really not saving all that much time.

Mine will fully deploy with a downward thrust of the gun. I am still able to run around without my bipod accidentally deploying it is just when I am ready to take a shot I can fully deploy my bipod in less that half a second.

I also have found that occasionally the bipod will get in the way if it is always deployed

Ive always used bipods. With my HPA setup I have a light deal with the tank mounted in a big pouch in the back. I put padding around the tank to act as padding. When I want to set up prone somewhere I can undo the whole rig with one fastener. Then I lay it down and use the tank area with the padding as a place to shoot off of. Sort of like shooting off a ruck. That way you can make sure your rifle is always level and not canted. Unlike a lot of the bipods that dont float. Ive grown to like it better than using a bipod.

That sounds like my old Blackhawk rig. I'd used a Hydrastorm Predator carrier, removed the hydration bladder, and stuck all of my gear in there. When I was moving, everything was out of my way, but I only had to hit two snaps and the whole thing would drop to the ground, and I could do whatever with it. If/when I get a larger CO2 tank I'm going to have to replace that thing and do something similar to what you've got.

I'm interested now...Imma going to have to give it a try. In the meantime, I'll suffice with finding random stuff to balance against since I'm too cheap to replace my broken bipod.

haha well if you dont like the bi-pod or to carry around the assault pack i hear that some shooters use bags the size of a mans fist filled with sand to use, just a thought for you that dont like the bi-pod.
