Alright, not a shill, I paid retail for this
But, how about a light weight, very low profile bipod for AR type rifles that take up minimal rail space when not in use? Sound good? Yeah I thought so. Enter Heathen Systems with their Assaulter Bipod. Extended 
Extended 
Stowed 
Doesnt stow properly with the screw type SF mount, which is ok, I needed to get a low profile MLOK mount anyway. 
The pic mount is printed polymer, it also doubles as a barricade and hand stop if you so choose to use it as such. The legs themselves are also polymer with metal re-enforced male component. When installed to be used the legs just click into the right holes and away you go, they seem to have a decent amount of flex so that you can push slightly into the weapon. The length is fixed but seems to be an ok height, actual use will tell. When stowed the legs are kept very close to the rail and are very low profile with little extending past the rail itself to snag or catch on stuff, far cry from either a Harris or an Atlas. I intend to use my recce type rig this weekend out to 700 or so, this bipod will be tested against both Harris and Atlas folding bipods, I expect both of them them to outperform the Heathen in every category Except being light weight and low profile. However, if I can use the Heathen to engage targets to the max range of the recce then it will probably stay on that rifle. |

Thanks for the review! Looks tasty, and the timing is good, I was just looking at one to put on my Warsport.

are the rubber bands the only thing that hold the legs up?

So it's a pair of cheap shooting sticks that rubber-band to your gun when not in use, and it costs $90?

Wait, is this supposed to be a joke?
Seriously? Rubber bands to hold your bipod in a stowed position? No price or info on the website, but the video is worth a watch  (ignore the bipod in it)

Oh and it's plastic? 3d printed plastic at that? So it's going to grenade into a million tiny pieces as soon as you let off the first round
What is with all these "veteran owned" companies making such terrible products? |

No, if you look at the 3rd pic, there are stowage holes for the male end of the legs. The rubber bands are to keep the other end from getting caught or snagged on stuff. Not ideal but workable. |

Is their next product going to be a $300 knife so that you can tactically cut the rubber bands to deploy your assault bipod?

Like I said previously. I'm not happy to learn that the stop is just 3d printed
That being said, its a small and lightweight alternative to a full Harris or Atlas type. Small and light being key words here. Time and use will determine how much I like this thing. |

If you’re using the rifle on a bipod, why does the bipod need to be lightweight? Harris and atlas bipods (and their functional clones) don’t weigh much...

why not tie a small balloon on the bottom of the rail, and then just pop it, when you're finished. costs like .03 cents, plus a few puffs of air.

Can't I just stow plastic chopsticks on my rail, and then jam them into one of the rail holes? Looks about as effective.

You know what’s even more ultralight? Using the fucking magazine in your weapon as a monopod for support. And you’re not fiddlefucking around with plastic chopsticks when you should be shooting. Quote HistoryQuoted:
