Interesting item. If I could offer some humble suggestions though. Weight would be a significant factor in anything I look at including that although it's target audience might preclude that from being an issue. You could perhaps make it a quick connect/remove type thing, or alternately hollow it out somehow. And 2, that price is a tad brutal, if you could combine it with some type of hand stop/grip function that would more significantly justify it I'd think than a high priced single/niche use item.
Although I don't see myself using/needing anything like this, I could envision some type of LEO function in a static/semi-static type of setup where it might be useful.
As for crowding cover, it kind of depends on the situation. If I'm in the only mudhut in the area overwatching the surrounding ao why not use it to solidify the shot. Not everyone has a handguard married up to their barrel. If i'm in a very active urban area and confusing situation where I can't guarantee what's going on outside that wall/window. Probably wouldn't find me doing that. This doesn't even touch upon just straight up guys who like to shoot simple home competitions who might use it. Not everyone in life is, or wants to be high speed/low drag. I personally think the grip pod is goofy as hell, but I've seen some high speed guys use that to very good effect too.
Everyone likes to cram their opinions in based on what they've seen or done. And since I haven't seen or done everything in life I'll humbly submit even though "I" don't cotton to this cup of tea, it might be nice for someone else.

Thanks so much for the comment and the suggestions! Just to put things in perspective on the weight issue...
Military Grip Pod (a device intended to increase accuracy) = 7.8 Oz
We are actually coming in lighter than them.
Hollowing it out is actually a really good idea. Unfortunately as you mentioned our price point is about maxed out.
Also... We named it the "EFFIN" Hammerhead... we are taking this one very lightheartedlytake a guess what EFFIN stands for...

The rifle depicted is painted gold, an interesting color for a firearm. What setting do you have in mind for gold camo?

Another answer in search of a question (especially at that price).

Are your Colors off on your screen Tim? That's what Socal looks like 95% of the time, until it rains of course.
