That being said, there is nothing to stop you from roleplaying as a sniper. Ask yourself, how important a bipods to "you" as a sniper?
So I guess a 340fps (w/0.20g) AEG can get 0.30g BBs out to 300ft easily as my M24 did a few years ago? And I mean able to hit a guy within a few shots if the wind was calm, not "my BB landed 300ft away, but was 150ft off to the left when it landed" kinda stuff. I'm talking within a 20ft grouping at 300ft.

And a bipod is worth a lot to me, much more than the little saving's I'd get from having it a pound lighter and a slight bit less snag proof.

Oh ya, a bipod allows you to use your support hand to raise/lower your aiming point by cupping your hand at the bottom of the stock where it meets your shoulder. Very important for accurate shooting.
