Grips & Bipods

Vertical, angled or hand stop?

A vertical foregrip gives a strong pull into the shoulder and a natural place for a light switch; it suits full-length rifles and support guns. An angled grip keeps your wrist straight and your elbow tucked, which is more comfortable for a long day and better for aiming around cover. A hand stop is the minimalist version: a small block that keeps your hand from sliding onto the muzzle on a short handguard. Many grips combine a storage compartment for a spare battery or a tool, and some fold or swivel to become a short bipod.

Bipods for snipers and DMRs

A bipod turns prone shooting into something stable and repeatable. Spring-loaded legs that fold forward and adjust in height are the standard for a sniper rifle; a bipod with a swivel head lets you level the rifle on uneven ground. Support gunners use them too, because an M249 held for ten minutes is heavy. Bipods mount on a Picatinny rail, an M-LOK slot or a sling-swivel stud, so check the rail system of your rifle.

Fitting

Use the rail system filter to match your handguard. M-LOK and KeyMod accessories bolt straight to the slot; Picatinny items clamp onto a rail section, and adapters bridge the two. For a new handguard, look at externals. Grips and bipods are unrestricted accessories.
