An axially offset foregrip assembly for a long gun has a grip portion having a first grip axis, with a middle portion of the grip portion configured to be grasped by a hand of a user about the first grip axis. The foregrip assembly also has a coupling portion for coupling between the middle portion of the grip portion and a fore-end of a long gun. The long gun has a barrel having a longitudinal axis and a rear grip having a second grip axis, which together define a vertical barrel plane. The coupling portion is configured to couple the grip portion to the fore-end of the long gun such that the first grip axis is in a vertical grip plane horizontally offset from the vertical barrel plane, with the vertical grip plane and the first grip axis substantially parallel to the vertical barrel plane.

1. An axially offset foregrip assembly for a long gun, the foregrip assembly comprising: a grip portion having a first grip axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the grip portion, the grip portion having a first end, a second end, and a middle portion located between the first end and the second end, the middle portion configured to be grasped by a hand of a user about the first grip axis during use of the long gun; a coupling portion coupled to the middle portion of the grip portion, the coupling portion having a coupling axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the coupling portion, the coupling axis being substantially perpendicular to the first grip axis, the coupling portion configured to be coupled to a fore-end of a long gun having a barrel axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the barrel, such that the coupling axis is perpendicular to the barrel axis; and an adjustment mechanism configured to: selectively allow the grip portion to be rotated about the coupling axis; and selectively fix the grip portion in a plurality of rotational positions about the coupling axis, each rotational position defining an angle between the grip axis and the barrel axis between 60 degrees and 120 degrees with respect to a muzzle of the barrel. 2. The foregrip assembly of claim 1, wherein the coupling portion is configured to be coupled to the fore-end of the long gun such that: the barrel axis is in a barrel plane; and the grip axis is in a grip plane that is offset from the barrel plane and parallel to the barrel plane. 3. The foregrip assembly of claim 1, wherein the coupling portion is configured to be coupled to the fore-end of the long gun such that the coupling axis and the barrel axis form a coupling plane. 4. The foregrip assembly of claim 3, wherein the coupling portion is configured to be coupled to the fore-end of the long gun such that: the barrel axis is in a barrel plane that is perpendicular to the coupling plane; and the grip axis is in a grip plane that is offset from the barrel plane and parallel to the barrel plane. 5. The foregrip assembly of claim 1, wherein the middle portion of the grip portion is configured to be grasped by the hand of the user about the first grip axis during firing of the long gun. 6. The foregrip assembly of claim 1, wherein the coupling portion is further configured to be coupled to the fore-end of the long gun via an accessory mounting system. 7. The foregrip assembly of claim 6 wherein the accessory mounting system comprises a rail coupled to the fore-end of the long gun, and wherein the coupling portion is configured to be coupled to the rail. 8. The foregrip assembly of claim 7, wherein the rail is a Picatinny rail. 9. The foregrip assembly of claim 1, wherein the coupling portion comprises: an extension member having a first end coupled to the middle portion of the grip portion, and a second end comprising a fastening feature configured to fixedly attach the second end of the extension member to the fore-end of the long gun. 10. The foregrip assembly of claim 1, further comprising a button disposed on the grip portion, the button configured to be pressed by the user to actuate a function. 11. The foregrip assembly of claim 10, wherein the button is configured to be pressed by the user to actuate the function comprising one or more of: operating a light, operating a laser, operating a camera, or operating a microphone. 12. The foregrip assembly of claim 10, further comprising an accessory port configured to receive an accessory connector of an accessory, the button configured to be pressed by the user to actuate the function comprising operating the accessory via the accessory port and the accessory connector. 13. The foregrip assembly of claim 1, further comprising a storage compartment disposed in the grip portion. 14. A long gun comprising: a fore-end comprising a barrel having barrel axis; an axially offset fore grip sub-assembly coupled to the fore-end, the foregrip sub-assembly comprising: a grip portion having a first grip axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the grip portion, the grip portion having a first end, a second end, and a middle portion located between the first end and the second end, the middle portion configured to be grasped by a hand of a user about the first grip axis during use of the long gun; a coupling portion coupled to the middle portion of the grip portion, the coupling portion having a coupling axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the coupling portion, the coupling axis being substantially perpendicular to the first grip axis, the coupling portion configured to be coupled to a fore-end of a long gun having a barrel axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the barrel, such that the coupling axis is perpendicular to the barrel axis; and an adjustment mechanism configured to: selectively allow the grip portion to be rotated about the coupling axis; and selectively fix the grip portion in a plurality of rotational positions about the coupling axis, each rotational position defining an angle between the grip axis and the barrel axis between 60 degrees and 120 degrees with respect to a muzzle of the barrel. 15. The long gun of claim 14, further comprising a rear grip having a second grip axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the rear grip, wherein: the barrel axis and the second grip axis define a vertical barrel plane, and the grip axis is in a grip plane that is offset from the vertical barrel plane and parallel to the vertical barrel plane. 16. The long gun of claim 14, wherein the coupling axis and the barrel axis form a coupling plane. 17. The long gun of claim 16, further comprising a rear grip having a second grip axis defined by a longitudinal axis of the rear grip, wherein: the barrel axis and the second grip axis define a vertical barrel plane that is perpendicular to the coupling plane, and the grip axis is in a grip plane that is offset from the vertical barrel plane and parallel to the vertical barrel plane. 18. The long gun of claim 14, wherein the long gun is a carbine type rifle. 19. The long gun of claim 14, wherein the long gun is a shotgun. 20. The long gun of claim 19, wherein the fore-end further comprises a forestock, wherein the coupling portion of the foregrip sub-assembly is fixed with respect to the forestock, and wherein the forestock and the foregrip sub-assembly are movable with respect to the barrel in a longitudinal direction parallel to the barrel axis.
