Ney. The gun can't be so heavy as to necessitate putting it on the ground. And if you did set it up, you would be LIT UP because of you being stationary.

unless yur playing woodsball and using stealth. its only good for woodsball milsims and scenario.  i would try to find one that has legs that fold back so you can be more manuverable.  besides, they look really cool on guns and help with aiming, especially if u want to be a "sniper".

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.

well, you got a stock, and a bipod would further increase accuracy, and you have an accurate barrel (flatline), i would say a red dot sight unless you are comfortable with the stock sight on your gun(which you probably cant use cus yur stock, so get a sight rail/mount and a red dot sight if you really want to.

Dont use the bi-pod if you think its going to improve yer aim...it wont work, remember yer using a paintball marker not a real firearm.

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

I wouldn't get one, too much money on too usless of a thing.  If there was one for like $15-$20, I'd get one, but if you are not going to use it as much as, say, an RT, then don't spend that much.  I made that mistake on my CAR stock (anyone wanna buy it?).
Just shoot yourself and save me the trouble.

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.

Are you small and frail that you need to use a bi-pod on a marker?
