Strengths:
steadies your aim and increases gun stability while firing
Weaknesses:
cant see very well down sights, wiggles a bit (see below)
Review:
this is not exactly something that youd buy for performance (ill admit, it looks awesome) but i have found that in the long run, this will really help you nearly as much as any other gun upgrade. this is because it steadies your aim, and is definately a must for flat-line users. you can get your bead faster and hold it longer because the weight of the gun is being pressed into your shoulder, not being help up by your arms. the downside of this is that when your trying to get low enough to look down your sights, it kinda gets in the way if you have a medium-large mask. i have found its not much of a problem with a dye invision, but most people may want to purchase a sight rail (some people just learn to compensate) when i first installed it, it kinda wiggled a bit (as if it wasnt sitting flush) but i just called up the maker and they helped me tighten it down so now its ok
overall this is a very good investment that will help increase your aiming ability, and i would definately suggest it to anyone with a gun that is better at long range shots
Conclusion:
i think this is an excellent upgrade to any gun owners who have long range shooters (ie, flatline) since it shortens the time it takes to get a bead and hold it. i give it a 9 because i had to call the makers to figure out how to make it fit snugly, but it wasnt a hassle in the least
