1. An accessory rail that is mountable on a primary device for releasably attaching an accessory directly to the accessory rail, comprising: a rail body; andat least one slot adapter formed integrally within said body for receiving attachment means of the accessory,wherein said at least one slot adapter comprises a pair of alignment slots defining U-shaped channels sized to receive said attachment means of the accessory;an engagement wall disposed between the pair of alignment slots; andan aperture extending transversely through the engagement wall. 2. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 1, wherein saidprimary device is a firearm. 3. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 1, wherein said primary device is a camera. 4. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 1, wherein said accessory is a bipod. 5. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 1, wherein said accessory is a Harris Bipod. 6. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 1, wherein said accessory rail with slot adapter is configured for releasably attaching a bipod to a firearm. 7. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 1, wherein said accessory rail with slot adapter is configured for releasably attaching a sling to a firearm. 8. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 1, wherein said rail body includes at least one aperture receiving a fastener therethrough for mounting the rail body to the primary device. 9. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 1, wherein said rail body further comprises: a mounting surface;a bottom surface opposite of said mounting surface; andlateral surfaces connecting said mounting surface to said bottom surface. 10. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 9, wherein said at least one slot adapter is formed in said mounting surface. 11. An accessory rail that is mountable on a primary device for releasably attaching an accessory directly to the accessory rail, comprising: a rail body, wherein said rail body is a Picatinny rail; andat least one slot adapter formed integrally within said body for receiving attachment means of the accessory,wherein said at least one slot adapter comprises a pair of alignment slots;an engagement wall disposed between the pair of alignment slots; andan aperture extending transversely through the engagement wall. 12. An accessory rail that is mountable on a primary device for releasably attaching an accessory directly to the accessory rail, comprising: a rail body that further comprises a mounting surface including a plurality of mounting projections extending perpendicularly along a longitudinal axis of the rail body, wherein said mounting projections are separated by a plurality of transverse grooves evenly spaced along the longitudinal axis of the rail body; andat least one slot adapter formed integrally within said rail body for receiving attachment means of the accessory;a bottom surface opposite of said mounting surface; andlateral surfaces connecting said mounting surface to said bottom surface;wherein said at least one slot adapter comprises a pair of alignment slots;an engagement wall disposed between the pair of alignment slots; andan aperture extending transversely through the engagement wall. 13. The accessory rail with slot adapter according to claim 9, wherein said lateral surfaces include at least one cutout therein. 14. A method of releasably attaching a bipod to a firearm, wherein the bipod includes an upper attachment configuration comprising a base, a pair of attachment links carrying attachment pins, a lever connecting the attachment links to the base, and a threaded element being threadably received by the lever, said method comprising: mounting an accessory rail with slot adapter on the firearm, wherein the slot adapter is formed integrally within said rail and the slot adapter includes a pair of alignment slots defining U-shaped channels sized to receive said attachment links, an engagement wall disposed between the pair of alignment slots, and an aperture extending transversely through the engagement wall; andconnecting the upper attachment configuration of the bipod to the accessory rail with slot adapter. 15. The method according to claim 14, wherein the bipod is a Harris Bipod. 16. The method according to claim 14, wherein connecting the upper attachment configuration to the accessory rail with slot adapter comprises the following steps in the sequence set forth: moving head portions of said attachment links through an opening in the base;pressing pinch portions of said links together, thereby separating the head portions carrying the attachment pins;positioning the head portions of said links in the alignment slots of said slot adapter; andreleasing the pinch portions of the links, thereby allowing the attachment pins to insert into the aperture extending transversely through the engagement wall and thereby connecting the upper attachment configuration to the slot adapter. 17. The method according to claim 16, wherein connecting the upper attachment configuration to the accessory rail with slot adapter further comprises a subsequent step of rotating said threaded element towards the base, thereby locking the upper attachment configuration to the accessory rail with slot adapter. 18. The method according to claim 16, wherein the upper attachment configuration of the bipod is detached from the accessory rail with slot adapter, the method further comprising the following steps in the sequence set forth: pressing the pinch portions of the attachment links together, thereby withdrawing the attachment pins from the aperture extending transversely through the engagement wall; andlifting the upper attachment configuration off of said rail, thereby detaching said upper attachment configuration from said rail with slot adapter. 19. The method according to claim 17, wherein said upper attachment configuration of the bipod is detached from the accessory rail with slot adapter, the method further comprising the following steps in the sequence set forth: rotating said threaded element away from the base, thereby unlocking the upper attachment configuration from the accessory rail with slot adapter;pressing the pinch portions of the attachment links together, thereby withdrawing the attachment pins from the aperture extending transversely through the engagement wall; andlifting the upper attachment configuration off of said rail, thereby detaching said upper attachment configuration from said rail with slot adapter.
