The spotter looks like he is having an emotional breakdown. Poor guy. His car could of just got repoed or something and now an L96 is resting on his backside.

I saw video of German troops in WWII using another soldier as a bipod steadier. One was firing his MG42 against Allied aircraft. The second soldier held the bipod and rested the barrel jacket on his shoulders. It seemed an effect but dangerous way to add range and accuracy against targets moving at 300+MPH. The high rate of fire made the MG42 a somewhat semi effective anti aircraft weapon if enough were being used against low flying aircraft….I would guess. If I remember they did have quads and twin versions for AA weapons.

Remember “firearms, not politics”.
Its an old picture and apparently that is a legitimate sniper position taught by some countries.

That would be pretty damn rock solid, if uncomfortable for the spotter.

Reminds me of a story I heard from my high school science teacher. He was a Navy enlisted flight crewman back in the 70s. He witnessed a couple Marines contemplating how best to steady their aim with their M16s at a range shoot. Their solution? One devil dog rested the barrel/handguard on the other’s shoulder while kneeling. Needless to say there was some severe ear damage and hearing loss to Lance Corporal Bipod.
Story was particularly interesting to me as I had enlisted into the USMC a couple months before. In my 6 years I found that Marines ALWAYS come up with a solution to every problem — whether or not it’s a good one is conjecture.
