Bipods are commonly used on rifles and machine guns to provide a stable forward rest, reducing unwanted motion and improving accuracy. They allow operators to easily position a weapon on surfaces like the ground or a wall, minimizing fatigue while enhancing stability. Bipods are available in fixed or adjustable lengths, with some models offering tilting capabilities near the barrel's central axis for left-to-right adjustments. Certain designs also enable side-to-side rotation. Bipods can be folded in three configurations: away from the shooter, toward the shooter, or into a vertical foregrip.
