I would really like it if somebody could list a few pros and cons for me thanks

That would be a "con" on the bi-pod.

The only "pro" I know in having and using a bi-pod on a paintball marker is to use it fer displaying the marker fer onlookers to look at and to avoid them unwanted scratches when placing it down inbetween games in the staging area. 

Hmm well alot of the area that i play in has open field around it and i could use somthing to improve my aim can you give me a few tips

Oh so thats why the US government uses bi-pods on most M-60s

he may not get lit up in woodsball if hes behind thick brush, the paintballs cant go through that stuff.  the key is camoflauge and not being seen. but the only pro i can see is accuracy increase, there will be cons though unless yur tomclancy or someone

yeah well i have alot of good cover where i play and im not retarded i can turn my head unlike some

What do you think the best sniper setup is

Damn I jus realized I said 1 pro bout the bi-pod, theres actually 2 pros on it....1 is fer looks and 2 is to avoid them unwanted scratches on the marker when placing it down in between games in the staging area and it does look nice when its propped up fer everyone to checkout, hell I even look at mine from time to time when its sittin on the floor.

well you can still see where the balls are going and just tilt or turn your gun where you need it to hit your target and i mainly need a bi-pod to hold my barrel still.

No im a sniper sometimes and I weigh 250 lbs and im 6'5

Lemme guess...yer a paintball sniper.....good God, not another one!!!!!

Someone help that poor child?!!??!!?

what? Do you get popped by alot of snipers or somthing oh and snipers can move around its not like using a browning 50-cal

Im not afraid to get hit if i was i wouldnt play if thats what your getting around to i have many positions i play

yeah well its called strategy and capture the flag and i protect it

Ugh- evil_fingers quit arguing with the guy. Jesus, just answer his friggin question and leave it at that.

Anyway, a bi-pod isn't practical at an open play at an actual field, unless they do a lot of scenario. A stock does increase your accuracy by the ability to hold it steay and not lose aim from recoil, BUT it's hard to rest a stock on the front portion of your shoulder properly when lying down. It would have an advantage if you had a role on the team where you defended either the base or the mid-field area. It'd be useful for holding the gun steady while trying to use a thick bush for cover, but stick your gun through enough to shoot at the other team.

It is useful for stealth purposes if you're sneaking around and the only cover you can get is lying down. It's also good for defense. I've played games where we knew that we would lose if we tried to attack them. We all decided to make them come to us, so we took defensive positions. Everyhting worked well until three players with critical positions called themselves out with gun problems, but even then the game ended in a draw. It also makes the gun look "cool," and while some people into actual guns will say it looks great, straight speedballers will laugh at it. Just don't get mad that everyone in the world won't give you a cookie for having it.

The cons would be added weight to the front of the gun. This does throw off the recoil balancing that the stock provides. Since you seem to be quite a big fellow, you'll have no problem with the weight of the gun. Just make sure it folds away, and you're set to play a few games of speedball. You'll just have to make good judgement calls on when to use it- constantly flipping it out every game is not a good idea. Just remember you're not as mobile with it out. Just practice control on when to use it, and you can be a dangerous asset to your team.

P.S- the military uses bi-pods because trying to hold an actual gun in your hand and firing it will shake your arm until it either A) falls off or B) shakes your arm numb. AND those guns are some heavy equipment. I mean heavy.

Next.....once you get the bipod,(i would get a Harris), you will need a mounter for the actual bipod. those are hard to find because of the flatline leaves a limited amount of uncovered barrel. But..... this one will work perfectly as a bipod mount on the flatline http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.322764/sc.2/category.27/it.A/id.2148/.f - http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.322764/sc.2/category.27/ it.A/id.2148/.f  

but it is only compatible with harris bipods.(which are the best and monst reccomended ones)

Good luck!

Well, some pros to a bipod, would be as follows: #1 you can prop it up in the staging area to maybe say filling up your hopper. #2 many people can't hit you if you are laying flat on the ground, but when you have your bipod setup it would be a easy target to hit them.

so logan, you forget about my post? I think I was the first one to reply without saying "duh bipds ar teh dum, it wegh lik a tousnd ponds or sum,thin an ppl shot yu a bnuch>"

I feel cheated.
