Gosh, have I said something wrong or something that's been misinterperted or misunderstood?
I mean that if the bipod on the rifle at the start of this thread is the one shown in your thread 17 or as described by GF in thread 16, then the manufacturer has made a good try at a rifle bipod, it clips on and would certainly steady the rifle. That's the good try

But the fact that he was clearly asleep during his harmonics lesson at school shows here because while the bipod was a good try, his subsequent theory was poor, in that he'd never hit the same place on the zeroing screen twice (that's if he even hit the screen the first time!)

As for the RPK connection, well, that has the same idea of a bipod on the end of the tuning fork vibrating barrel. Have you ever tried to fire a group with one? When asked why on earth the bipod was there, The great man himself turned to Lt Col Tug Wilson and said through his interpreter daughter '.....In Russiaicon, I am a Captain. When the Generals tell me that they want my rifle to be a machine gun, I give them a machine gun...............' There was a bit more to this conversation that was recorded for posterity but that's the gist of it.
