Two-Point Rifle Sling

Two-Point Rifle Sling: How to Choose

A two-point sling attaches to the weapon at two points and keeps the rifle along your body. Unlike a single-point sling, it doesn't let the weapon swing around your legs when you free up your hands. Compared with a three-point sling, this kind of weapon sling is easier to take off or switch to the other shoulder. Prices range from 430 to 670 UAH.

Bungee and Attachment: What to Look For

A bungee is an elastic section in the strap that lets the sling stretch when you shoulder the weapon or shoot from an awkward position, and it dampens jerks while you move. For example, on the coyote bungee sling the elastic sections stretch by 15–21 cm, according to the description. If you mostly carry the weapon on the march, a sling without a bungee holds it more steadily.

Metal carabiners in removable elastic covers don't clink against other metal and don't glint, which matters at night. A set with a QD swivel and an M-LOK socket suits a handguard with M-LOK slots. There is also a model that switches to single-point mode with a "trident" side-release buckle without taking the sling off your shoulders.

How to Choose the Length for Yourself and Your Body Armor

Adjust the sling while wearing the gear you will actually carry the weapon in. A plate carrier with pouches adds bulk, so a length that is comfortable over a jacket will turn out too short. A properly adjusted sling lets you bring the stock to your shoulder without strain, and the lowered weapon hangs at belt level. For example, the coyote bungee sling adjusts from 67 to 112 cm, and the model convertible to single-point from 95 to 150 cm.

Look for single-point and three-point models among all weapon slings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will a two-point sling fit my rifle?

It will, if the weapon has two attachment points. Carabiners clip onto sling swivels or loops, while the QD swivel from the set goes into a socket mounted in an M-LOK slot on the handguard. Before buying, check what exactly your weapon has.

Sling with or without a bungee — which one to choose?

Choose based on your tasks. A bungee makes it easier to shoulder the weapon and reduces jerks while moving. A sling without one holds the rifle more rigidly, which is convenient for long-term carrying.
