Gives to a much more stable platform and less recoil.

But what do I know, I am an Open class shooter with bipod..

( Been on the National IPSC Open rifle team though almost every season since 2009 and seen plenty of Standard shooters also )
that's right No high speed gear for joes. The manual is geared towards regular joe trying to increase qualification score and being an effective member of fire team. The annual all army small arms championship at Benning has the same purpose. One year, the AMU almost allowed participant to use mag coupler....until some shenanigans showed up with 3 mags coupled together and pretty much shooting from an improvised benchrest! Heck, without strict rule of issue equipment only, I would use this https://www.magpul.com/products/pmag-d60-ar-m4 Same rule apply at AFSAM, AASAM, and similar combat matches all around the world.
