I know you viewers love exciting videos; me too. However, here at Tactical Rifleman, our goal is to give you the information to make you a better shooter or well-rounded operator. Remember, knowledge is power.
So, this week we are going to talk about Bipods. While that might sound as exciting as watching grass grow; having a good bipod assists the shooter in having a stable position for making that 1,400 meter shot, which is very exciting.
I personally know Kasey, from B&T, and helped him field test some of these first versions of the Atlas back in Iraq. He is a personal friend and a great American. If you look very closely at 1:53 in the video, you’ll see a dab of pink paint on the back of the bipod head, that I can’t get off. Kasey always marked versions he sent me with pink paint. Yes, there is a story behind that. Thanks Kasey.
Every year, a dozen companies come out with new bipods. Most are ok, some are good. However, few continue to improve based on customer suggestions. The Atlas from B&T is one that does. Their current version of the Atlas is awesome, and I understand why it was chosen for the PSR Contract. The 5H has a bright future also.
On a side note, beware of Chinese copies of the Atlas. The Chinese have always flooded the market with copies of everything. However, some of their Atlas copies are downright dangerous junk. I know of a SEAL unit that ordered real Atlas Bipods, only to have their logistics gal purchase cheap Chinese knock offs to save a little profit. Good intent, but they fell apart in minutes. Imagine having your bipod collapse right when you are squeezing the trigger during a hostage rescue. There’s a reason why we pay a little more for “Mil Spec” gear. It has got to work every time, under every condition. This year at SHOT, they busted a couple of Chinese civilians pedaling fake Atlas bipods again. I hope they crush their nuts and bolts.
