Old Tricks For Crawling Dogs

I'm sorry, but I hate using a bipod on a rifle.

It stems partly from being taught to use a ('deliberate') sling technique, and also having some bad experiences with bipods on airsoft rifles. But what I'm curious to know is this -
  • What do you consider a better investment: a really good rifle sling or a really good bipod?
  • Have you ever used a sling to support your rifle in an airsoft game?
  • Is there something else that you some times use instead (like using your rucksack), and if so, which do you prefer and why?

I'm asking because I was really surprised at the number of people around me who were completely unaware of such simple shooting techniques. Especially in this bizarre country, where everyone's uncle goes out to hunt moose! I simply cannot imagine anyone being a particular proficient airsoft 'sniper' if they completely ignore real-world real-rifle knowledge, or maybe I'm just hanging out with the wrong airsoft crowd.
