I know what you're thinking, no, the carry handle isn't in the way of the sights. It's offset to the left.
Also, the bipod and tripod both swivel a full 360 degrees horizontally and about 30 degrees vertically.
Presented in standard dark graphite and olive drab finish.
Done in PMG 0.7 without custom parts

Why do you need a monopod extending from the grip? It would only get in the way. A tripod is good enough.
Also, what does the PEQ-15 part near the stock? What is it's purpose?

Eh, like said, 01:30 so might not have had the brightest ideas.
The PEQ-15 is used as the electronic ammo count display as mentioned in the description. It works like so: there is another lever in the magwell other than the mag release. When a mag is inserted, this lever swivels to a certain point after which the ammo display updates itself to reflect a full magazine (you can select whether you're using a 40-round or 100-round mag, +1 if not empty before reload). When the mag release is pulled, the display resets to zero (or one, if the count didn't reach zero before reloading). There is also the ability to manually type in the amount of ammo you have, in case you're not feeding from a standard magazine (this is done using a small numpad on top of the display).

That just seems a little too complicated in a stress situation. Do what most armies do and cut holes in the side of the magazine and estimate a value of the ammo left in the magazine. Think of the holes in the side of a traditional pistol magazine. See my point?
Also, it just seems like unnecessary weight and another thing on a weapon to fail.
