Hi,
I'm just wondering (curios as I am) why the M40A1 doesn't have bipods?
I mean the M40A3 have got it and about all other SWS in the world.
What was the USMC thinking by not putting bipods on it?!
Bipods is great because it creates a very stable and comfortable shooting platform which is crucial for good observation and to deliver a precise shot. It also makes your profile lower and by that a more concealed position. And when you're out in the field, they're always there, and quickly available.
If you don't have bipods then you must use like a backpack or somekind of bag/shooting platform. And if you only can have your ghillie suit with you and some other little accesorys then you don't have a good, portable shooting platform with you. And if you're going to shot at 1000 yards you need a good shooting platform.
