Creating a more stable sniper

[Recover]

ok everyones seen some real sniper rifles with the pods on the gun that sorta come off the barrel like this /\ which gives the sniper a little more stability and also something to take the weight of the gun off his arms. Is it possible making them for p-ball guns or for a flatline ive been putting alot of designs through my head any one has idea u can draw them out and post them or just reply on the post with ideas thx

you mean a bipod?

[Recover]

anyone make them or is that something snipers gotta keep waiting for? or we gotta make them ourselves?

Do a little research. Go to google and look for them, ask around on mil sim websites. Search around in here.

bipods are a waste imo...

unless you are laying down, they dont help. and even if you are laying down, if you move you hand a tiny bit because its unstable, it wont matter. the paint doesnt fly completely strait. its round. round=bad tragectory as far as im conserned (look at muskets)

unless if you have parkisons or something, i dont think a bipod is gonna help

they help if ur knelling to like at the woods field i play at there is one dirt mound and some fallen trees u can knell behind and use it with. Also u can lie down and use it to which works good. and maybve u want to try a stock on it to they work great both mods r awsomebut do the bipod first and at most woods fields there is an awsome place u can set up to use ur bypid and have a stable sniper spot.

A knell is the sound a bell makes when rung solemnly
You KNEEL to operate a paintball marker in the way a sniper would.

Personally I think that this will be a bad idea, you will realize it when you try to put the front end of your gun in a tight space and it won't fit. Fashion a mono-pod(one legged stabilization device) out of some wire or something, it will serve you better.

[snaretan]

How about getting a strap and learning to shoot correctly using that and your left elbow for stabilization. Or better yet, realize that no matter how much you aim a paintball, it won't hit where you want it, so just point and fire and don't waste your time worrying about setting up your bipod and "knelling" behind a dirt mound and fallen trees.

A bipod for a paintball gun isn't very practical ..other than for senerio play. But if that floats your boat...ARMOTECH makes them for their AR15 / M4 replica markers. Maybe buy one of those and modifiy it to fit your barrel:confused: :laugh:

you could always make your own out of sticks. Get 2 sticks and make an X with them and get some string or rubber bands to keep the sticks in an X shape. If you build it right you can fold the sticks so its not in an X and open it up when you want to use it. Only thing is that you'll have to carry the sticks around with you b/c it wont attach to your gun nles you find a way.

go to www.pbsnipersupplies.com They have a harris bipod. Really the best you can buy for a pball gun. They do fit on the flatline! Hope it helps.

In reality, though, 99% of the time a bipod will do you no good and just add a ton of un-needed weight.

the m98's front grip works just fine as a monopod for me... Except i dont use it as one...

Honestly, i dont see why youd need one aside from trying to look cool, or inhibiting your mobility... dead weight

If youre buying it to solve stability problems, such as you not being able to hold the gun stable while aiming, your the first person whos had that problem with a m98 that i know of... the front grip prevents any wobbling around at all. Period. if you cant hold it stable, push forward a little on the front grip to straighten things out when aiming.

Unless you have muscle spasms or something, in which case you shouldnt even be playing paintball at all :eyes:
