Mosin test, effect of bipod (video)

[Frostbyte_ 44]

So, after hearing some people say bipods didn´t have effect on accuracy even when deploeyd, i decided to record a little test.

 

Range is 800m~ (calculated from map) incidentaly that´s also the max zeroing on the long range scope. Bipod and ammo are pristine, but the scope was worn (which is ok since it was constant for bipod/no bipod shots)

 

End results? Deploying bipod improves accuracy.

 

Here´s a picture of end results:

Orange dots are hits with bipod deploeyd (15 shots in total)

Cyan dots are hits with bipod undeploeyd (15 shots in total)

I appologise if they´re bit hard to see.

 

 

<edit> And here´s the video...finaly

Seems awesome. I thought it just don't work atm, as like the bayonette. 

 

How have you marked your shots properly?

Must be the same for the M4 then as well.

Nice, I see it still pulls to the left.

Went through the recordings frame by frame, and marked the shots on a screenshot.

Yes it is, incidentaly i´ve made test on that too:

aaaand the video is up.

I measured the model, the window is about 1.8 by 2.2 meters. That means the spread pictured here is about 1.95 by 1.95 meters, a circle around all the shots measures about 2.20 meters in diameter.

 

Assuming this is at 800 meters, that means the following approximate dispersions:

 

2.20m at 800m = 0.00275

1.95m at 800m = 0.00244

 

 

 

The dispersion of an unmodified Mosin is 0.0025. Feel free to draw your own conclusions :lol:

So given distance is calculated correctly (not arguing this), the bipod undeployed increases dispersion. Shots fired with a deployed bipod decreases dispersion, but only really factors in for long range shots.

 

Makes sense actually. Thanks for the info both OP and Gews.

 

Makes my decision yesterday of dropping my pristine M4 w/ acog and MP attachments easier to handle now.

I realised the picture is bit of a clusterfuck, especialy since the colors i chose kinda blend in with eachother, so here´s 2 more screenies, one with bipod shots and one with nobipod shots.

Again orange for deployed, cyan for undeployed.

Any effect caused by the reason atatchments conditions?

[BL1P 252]

Very informative thank you

[Frostbyte_ 44]

I´d need to do test with multiple attachments in different conditions to measure that, something which i don´t have access to at the moment.

 

But the only variable in this test was deployed/not deployed bipod, so any change in dispersion is from there.
