Thought they are more cumbersome to pack and carry. The Brits are very good at using them, taught us jarheads a thing or two.
The Bipods on the A3 are less prone to snag if you fold them towards the shooter.
IMO they are a must have in an urban fast paced fight like our guys are in right now.

Turning it around..that might solve the snagging problem on a stalk. I'll experiment.
I wasn't thinking of packing a dedicated buttpack, I normally just use my assault pack or ruck - there's usually enough shit in there that it SHRINKING isn't a problem I've ever experienced
