I’m actually surprised you arnt a 3 point guy
"They invented ranger panties" LOL
Love myself some good fake operator content!!!
i just use heat shrink or paracord sheath to slip over the hook part on the hk hook and makes no noise. if u use sheath of paracord put some superglue on it so it stays put and dont come off when u try to remove it.
Didn’t know the Air Force did a lot of climbing. Then again I guess you have to climb in and out of a plane, well, some of them ( jazz…just let the ramp down).
In the marines I made fun of the navy. But never felt the coast guard was the worst. So I guess I can’t quite hit that subscribe button just yet.
awesome video !!ive been shopping for a sling for my ar and my ruger precision rifle .thanks
A million years ago during pre-Ranger school in Hawaii we were using a rope to climb up a very steep hill, as I reached the top the instructor (God rest his soul) was sitting there and told me that I just got a major minus spot report. Like a dummy I asked why, he replied “ for slinging your weapon”! Still not too sure about the climbing a rope with one hand but….Back then in Ranger school we did not have slings (M-16s), we ran 550 cord from the shoulder strap of our LBE to the front sight post, “dummy cord”! If you want an LBE dummy cord sling contact me and I’ll sale you one. I invented it………..
A little CG history-Douglas Munro. Just a man in a Higgins boat saving 500 Marines on Guadalcanal.
I think a good sling/setup is maybe one of the most easy, effective, and overlooked things that a lot of people don’t do with their AR’s or other MSR/PDW/DMR/etc types. People look for the coolest rail, hip reticle, etc, but there’s not to much talk about slings. In the real world, slings are a must-have if you really ever need to travel with your weapon.
I love your videos
Anyone have time to explain what ‘the magpul days’ are?
Where’d you get the forward thumb hand grip assist?
You ever seen a 7 point sling?
What brand of rail are you running ?
Always appreciate you sharing and helping me out . I always find something in your videos that helps me or educates me . Thanks !
12 minutes and doesn’t show how to set up a sling at all lol. great video.
Listening to this while making my own sling for my OG style Galil clone
Does the scalarworks 1.93 mount match up well with a 2 point sling, hard to say
What rail is that?
Great stuff thanks man
When serving in Alameda as an HT I was sent over to one of the local coast guard bases to do some repair to a boiler on one of their cutters. I kid you not (or knot) that everyday at 1000 the OOD announced over the 1mc that coffee and donuts was being served on the messdecks. I never regretted joining the Navy more than that entire week. Really made me wish I’d more seriously considered my decisions in life. LOL
"If you ever made fun of another branch of service, but then both agreed that the Coast Guard was the absolute worst". HAHAHAHA! Been there, done that. Unfortunately, we both then agreed that the Coast Guard was the best branch of service. We were getting shot at daily in an A-stan shit hole and out buddies in the USCG were cruising the waterways of Flordia, Southern Cal, etc, etc.
Two minutes in it’s still a talking head. Tossing out terms without visual aids. No notice that it’s an urban warfare video. Thumbs down.
Gee, I just need a setup so I do not have to put my rifle on the ground when attending to my target setups.
The magpul sling allows you to have both! Why not? There are situations where a single point sling is better. To me the magpul sling is a no brainer. Options matter. 🙂
Cg sux
0:10 Do you exclusively fire blanks indoor to avoid accidents?
Hey there I’m a, god forbid, Airsoft player, and I had a question. So basically I have a long barrel HK416 replica and a very cheap basic 2 points sling (which I really ought to replace). When I try to attach the sling on each extremities (near the barrel and on the stock), once I release it to draw my pistol, the rifle seems to hinder my movements; whenever I walk, my knee is hitting it.
Do you think it would work better in my case to attach the back of the sling near the stock tube or on a QD point behind the holographic sight? This way, the front is still on the extremity, and the back is closer to the trigger to avoid having the barrel nearly hitting ground.
I just watched this and it is very informative. Thank you for making this video. Here is my problem though, I have a Ruger mini 14 with an Archangel Sparta stock and I’ve watched lots of videos and no one has a video on what I have. Any suggestions on what I should get and possibly a video for a Mini 14?
Nice shirt. You know who makes it??
2 point can be set up in so many ways there is no reason to buy anything else
Single Point is for pussys
Literally
I love the confused captions about the comments, Butthead. LMAO.
i think the physics of how the weight distributes, tip to butt is best, but i find its too often in the way, so i do the halfway as far forward for control but not far enough to interfere with the support hand.
Fuck you, man! I was in the Coast Guard!
My dad was a coast guard boarding officer, one time they had to escort 26 immigrants back to Cuba(‘wet foot dry foot’ was in effect). They had them all sitting on the flight deck to get some sun and fresh air etc. and the biggest guy in the group was ryling the other refugees up like they were bout’ to take over the cutter so my dad and his watch partner went over and told him to sit back down but he was getting belligerent so my dad went down to the armory and grabbed his gun belt which had his handcuffs and he came back up topside and they took the guy down and lashed him to the flight deck with the cuffs and kinda made an example out of him in front of the other Cubans.
But yeah, theres a Coasty storie for ya lol.
I’m trying to think of a better way to obscure the view-ability of your video, but I think you’ve got it covered with the black background, black rifle, and black sling. Otherwise, thanks
Finally a sling vid that makes sense….THANKS!!!
I need a sling that’s not gonna rub a runway in my forest of back hair…… I suppose I could just wear a shirt. But, i mean come on.
Without the Air Force no one would be airborne qualified and nobody gets jump pay! Also you’d quickly run out of ammo, MREs and batteries for you Game Boy!
We could use some Coast Guard swift boat patrols on the Rio Grande right about now.
I’ve always ran single point slings. Take’s awhile to train yourself not to hit yourself in the nuts when transitioning to your side arm.
Was looking to watch this on WPSN, but I don’t think your episodes on there go that far back.
Pre work out
im more use to points during my training at the shooting range but 3 points isn’t so bad, i just prefer 2
Mike always with the gems, im looking for what sling setup to get for my ar15. He makes deciding so much easier.
I don’t use a sling. When empty it quickly becomes the baseball bat from hell. I’d make Negan shit himself!
What optic is this? Also what is that dual ir laser thingy by your flash light?
Bungie Cord attached with carabiners. All you’ll ever need
