A firearm assembly comprising the firearm, the support structure, and the attachment mechanism of claim 1. 3. The attachment mechanism of claim 1 wherein the mounting member further comprises a receiving plate that extends perpendicularly away from the interface member and includes a plurality of engagement features configured to selectively engage the latching arm. 4. The firearm assembly of claim 3 wherein the engagement features comprise a plurality of notches in the receiving plate. 5. The attachment mechanism of claim 1 wherein the latching arm comprises a first latching arm section spaced apart from a second latching arm section, and wherein the attachment portion at least partially extends between the first and second latching arm sections. 6. The attachment mechanism of claim 1 wherein the latching subassembly further comprises: a coupling pin pivotally coupling the latching arm to the attachment portion; and a latching pin pivotally coupling the latching arm to the mounting member. 7. The attachment mechanism of claim 6 wherein the latching pin is a first latching pin extending laterally away from the latching arm, and wherein the attachment mechanism further comprises a second latching pin extending laterally away from the latching arm in a direction opposite that of the first latching pin. 8. The attachment mechanism of claim 6 wherein the coupling pin extends through latching arm and through the attachment portion. 9. The attachment mechanism of claim 1 wherein the attachment portion comprises a first attachment section spaced apart from a second attachment section, the first and second attachment sections at least partially extending through the latching arm. 10. The attachment mechanism of claim 1, further comprising a swivel pin pivotally coupling the attachment portion to the connector, wherein the latching arm is configured to move between first and second positions, and wherein in the first position the latching arm positions the coupling pin at a first distance from the swivel pin, and in the second position the latching arm positions the coupling pin at a second distance from the swivel pin, the second distance being greater than the first distance. 11. The attachment mechanism of claim 10, wherein the swivel pin is pivotally coupled to a first end portion of the attachment portion, and wherein the coupling pin is pivotally coupled to a second end portion of the attachment portion opposite the first end portion. 12. An attachment mechanism for attaching a firearm to a support structure, the attachment mechanism comprising: an interface member having an aperture; and a latching subassembly having an attachment portion configured to engage a connector fastened to the firearm through the aperture and a latching arm coupled to the attachment portion and proximate to the interface member, the latching arm being at least partially eccentric relative to an axis of rotation of the latching arm; wherein the aperture is a first aperture, and wherein the interface member has a center portion with the first aperture and side portions extending away from the center portion; and wherein the attachment mechanism also includes a mounting member proximate to the interface member, the mounting member having a mounting plate with a second aperture generally aligned with the first aperture and a receiving plate extending from the mounting plate, the receiving plate having a plurality of notches, and further wherein the latching subassembly further includes a latching pin extending from the latching arm and configured to engage one of the notches on the receiving plate. 13. The attachment mechanism of claim 12 wherein the plurality of notches extend along a line at an angle with the mounting plate. 14. The attachment mechanism of claim 13 wherein the angle is from about 5° to about 85°. 15. The attachment mechanism of claim 12 wherein the attachment portion includes a first attachment section and a second attachment section spaced apart from the first attachment section. 16. The attachment mechanism of claim 12 wherein the attachment portion includes a first attachment section and a second attachment section spaced apart from the first attachment section, and wherein the first and second attachment sections each include an aperture, and further wherein the attachment mechanism also includes a swivel pin extending through the apertures and the connector. 17. The attachment mechanism of claim 12 wherein the latching arm includes a first latching section and a second latching section spaced apart from the first latching section, and wherein the attachment portion is at least partially between the first and second latching sections. 18. The attachment mechanism of claim 12 wherein the latching arm includes a first latching section and a second latching section spaced apart from the first latching section, and wherein the attachment portion includes a first attachment section and a second attachment section spaced apart from the first attachment section, and wherein the first and second attachment sections and the first and second latching sections each include an aperture, and further wherein the attachment mechanism also includes a coupling pin extending through the apertures. 19. The attachment mechanism of claim 18 wherein the latching arm is configured to pivot relative to the attachment portion around the coupling pin. 20. An attachment mechanism for attaching a firearm to a bipod, comprising: an interface member having an aperture; and a latching subassembly having: an attachment portion configured to engage the firearm through the aperture, wherein the attachment portion includes a first attachment arm spaced apart from a second attachment arm; and a latching portion rotatably coupled to the attachment portion, the latching portion being configured to press the interface member against the firearm when rotated relative to the attachment portion, wherein the latching portion includes a first latching arm spaced apart from a second latching arm, and wherein the first and second attachment arms at least partially extend between the first and second latching arms. 21. The attachment mechanism of claim 20 wherein the aperture is a first aperture, and wherein the attachment mechanism further includes a mounting member fixedly attached to the interface member, the mounting member having a mounting plate with a second aperture generally aligned with the first aperture and a receiving plate extending from the mounting plate, the receiving plate having a plurality of notches extend along a line at an angle with the mounting plate; and wherein the latching subassembly further includes a latching pin fixedly attached to and extending from the first latching arm, the latching pin being engaged with one of the notches of the receiving plate. 22. An attachment mechanism for attaching a firearm to a bipod, comprising: an interface member having a center portion with a first aperture and side portions extending away from the center portion, wherein the center portion and the side portions are configured to receive the firearm, and wherein the side portions include connection features configured to couple to the bipod; a mounting member fixedly attached to the interface member, the mounting member having a mounting plate with a second aperture generally aligned with the first aperture and a receiving plate extending from the mounting plate, the receiving plate having a plurality of notches extend along a line at an angle with the mounting plate; and a latching subassembly having an attachment portion configured to engage a swivel stud extending through the first and second apertures and fastened to the firearm, a latching arm pivotably coupled to the attachment portion, and a latching pin fixedly attached to and extending from the latching arm, the latching pin being engaged with one of the notches of the receiving plate. 23.
