Bipod

edit

For use as an ad-hoc automatic rifle, the M16 and M16A1 could be equipped with the XM3 bipod, later standardized as the Bipod, M3 (1966)[2] and Rifle Bipod M3 (1983)[3]. Weighing only 0.6 lbs, the simple and non-adjustable nipod clamped unto the barrel of the rifle to allow for supported fire.

The M3 bipod continues to be referenced in at least one official manual as late as 1985, where it is stated the one of the most stable firing positions is "the prone biped [sic] supported for automatic fire."[4]
