they take a million years to deploy and pick up, can only be deployed in very specific angles on barricades, force undeploy if you're moved in any way for any reason, and have super limited left and right traverse.

you can't even call it realistic either, you're telling me that dropping a pair of metal rods onto the ground is a more complex and time-consuming process than reloading the machine gun they're attached to? why am i not allowed to just pick the whole thing up, angle it slightly more to the left, and put it back down, and am forced to go through the whole process of folding then unfolding them? why does getting hit with a bullet force me to stop shooting, stand back up, and then fully stow the bipod in transport configuration?
