Abstract
A system for a bipod. The system includes a coupler to couple at least one leg to a firearm. The leg includes one flexible joint which allows the leg to flex about a flexible joint. The system allows conversion of the flexible leg from a flexible position to a rigid position whereby flexing about the flexible joint is prevented. A lock is manipulated to convert the leg from rigid to flexible.
