Much as I dislike the use of firearms (and that fact the we all seem to rely on them to keep some very bad guys at bay) -still I’m fascinated by their technology.

Today’s invention is a magazine which slots into a machine gun at an angle so that it forms a symmetrical bipod with a normal leg on the other side (I actually dreamed this a couple of nights ago).

Given the effort applied to the issue of reducing the weight carried by soldiers, this would provide a small advantage in only having to cart around half a bipod.
