What are the benefits of a verical foregrip on a SR 556

[fossils and guns]

Can someone tell me exactly what a Fusion Vertical Grip is used for on a SR 556.
I'm full of stupid questions, but I'm learning thanks to this site... :wink:

It looks tacticool?

That's kinda what I thought... Appreciate the confirmation; if I ever get a SR 556 I won't be getting one of those. The rail covers are great, but I wish Ruger would make one with only a rail on top.

It's for better control (especially in full auto) of a rifle. Often light and laser pressure switches are mounted on them. I don't have one and YMMV. :mrgreen:

Maybe but some serious users mount them on their ARs. Some things that are called "tactical" actually are. :wink:

It's a matter of taste... some folks like them, some folks don't.

I like them on a defensive carbine, but I don't have one, or any rails either, on my long range carbine.

The two-handed vertical grips just "feel" good to me when shooting and moving. (If you get a folding grip, you can keep it out of the way when not being used.)

A Mini-14.

Don't have a VFG on any of my ARs, or anything else.

VFGs are great in some positions. In others, they're worse than useless, they're detrimental. None for me, thanks.

I hope that doesn't jeopardize your membership!

I guess you don't understand the concept of "required for membership," do you, Skippy? :roll:

 

[9x19]

Gee, Erkel... are you telling me you wrote the requirements for your group?

Now I guess it's: Do as you say, not as you do?

ballistic vest with the pockets for the extra shields, front and back, are a must.

In all seriousness, I just read the article in the October issue of the American Rifleman. The author states that "Since it (the SR-556) was a little front-heavy, I found that a foward grip like the Crimson Trace MV515 helped me support the additional weight."

Poor baby! I hope the rifle didn't give him a boo-boo or an owie! :roll:

(Gee, I wonder if Crimson Trace is an American Rifleman advertiser.)

I just got one from the GF for my birthday 8) a T-POD!!!

I got this one but without the light. Heres a video someone posted - http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...vODVBQ&usg=AFQjCNFuZwvZ_U9X-Sak0VUvJ88PweHUaQ

I got the one without the tac light built in. wanted the ability to change to a newer light in the future and was told the light is perminantly installed.

I think the concept of "Mall Ninja Corps" is escaping you.
