For the light machine gun fire support role, the gun is fitted with a folding [[bipod]] (attached to the end of the gas cylinder) that can be adjusted for height. For carrying or use as a forearm, the aluminum legs can be folded back and secured in slots under the receiver by hooks and a spring-loaded catch. When firing from the hip, the bipod legs remain extended and the left leg is gripped for support. The bipod can be removed from the gas cylinder by tapping-out a roll pin in the gas cylinder head until it is flush and the bipod can be rotated enough to clear the gas cylinder's retaining lugs.<ref name="remtek.com"/>

In the static medium machine gun sustained fire support role, the weapon is mounted on a [[tripod]] that offers a higher degree of accuracy and control than the bipod, for example the FN 360° tripod, which features an elevation adjustment mechanism that enables the weapon's bore axis to be maintained from {{convert|300|mm|abbr=on|1}} to {{convert|600|mm|abbr=on|1}}, has a 30° to +15° elevation change and a 360° traverse range.
