Bipods also are a great way to combat recoil as you are not resting it on your shoulder and chest which makes follow up shots very easy and convenient.
12. Cleaning Kits & Supplies
Cleaning and maintaining your firearm is just as important as magazines, ammo or other parts are. If you want your gun to last you a lifetime without failing you at crucial moments you need to take care of it with proper cleaning supplies.
Cleaning and maintenance of your gun should be done at least 2 times a month and a more thorough cleaning should be done every 3 months but if you use your gun quite often then it should be every month. Nowadays, cleaning your gun is very easy as online stores like WBT guns have proper cleaning kits and supplies designed for your firearms.
A very basic cleaning kit must have a cleaning rod, bore brush, cleaning swabs, cleaning chemicals and lubricants to keep your gun in a good condition all the time. A good quality cleaning rod is the one made with either aluminum, brass or steel as it will not rust and last you a long time.
So if you want your gun to perform well at all times it's imperative to keep it clean and free from all residue and other grim particles that silently plague the inside of the gun.
13. Conversion Kits
Now you don’t really have to buy a new gun for every little use you may have or if you like the qualities of another gun. The best way to have your gun do all that an automatic weapon can do, you just need a good conversion kit.
Yes, a conversion kit has parts or combinations of parts that allows you to transform your firearm into an automatic weapon. You can use it to turn your Glock into an AR Lower California rifle. You can change your Glock 17, 19 and 19x into higher caliber handguns that can now be fired from the shoulders.

Most of the conversion kits are fuss-free, need no tools and can be assembled or disassembled in a matter of a few minutes.

14. Foregrips
A foregrip also known as the vertical forward grip or vertical pistol grip is installed on the fore-end of any long barrel firearm like rifle or shotguns. These are basically designed to give the shooter some added support and something to hold on to.
These foregrips not only give support but also feel much smoother and cooler than your stand foregrip and it also helps in managing the recoil. With this on, you will find it very easy to rest your firearm on your shoulder and shoot from it.
You can also find foregrips in horizontal and special fashion. The horizontal ones are angled and a bit stretched out but give the same advantages as the vertical one and the special one is what its name suggests, special and hard to describe in words.
We at WBT guns offer a large variety of fore grips that will suit any firearm and give you some amazing benefits. Magpul and Bravo company have some solid options to check out from.
15. Lights and Laser
Lights and lasers are often mistaken as the sights or scopes mounted on top of the firearms. These are not like sights or scopes that makes the shooter see through them in order to acquire the target, it actually sheds a sharp beam of light on the target that makes it visible, clear and easy to acquire.
The laser light is often seen in movies giving the victim a chill down their spine as it means that the target is set and all the shooter needs to do is to pull the trigger. Also unlike the sights or scope that only work at night, lasers and lights are effective at day time as well, providing the shooter a good reference point to aim at.

A sling can be worn easily across the body on the shoulders, it is ideal for long barreled weapons like rifles for sale in California or shotguns. For carrying handguns, holsters play the same role but these can be worn as a strap around the body which can be concealed easily.
I think having a sling or holster is very important for your posture and body as it allows you to divide the weight easily across the body which will keep your arms, hands and shoulders relaxed yet the firearm is very much approachable in case you need to retrieve it immediately. WBT guns have some cool options in slings and holsters can be worn around the body or around the waist as well, so do check them out.
