So folks here I am again, the Paddy of Airsofttipps. Today with my video about the three-point-sling.
The whole thing is structured in: which materials are needed, like the webbing.
The second part shows the production and the third part will show the possibilities to use it.
That’s it; here you are able to see the chapters, if you want to skip one. Have fun!
These are the materials, you will need to build a three-point-sling.
Firstly the webbing, 25mm wide.
I bought 3m to have some waste. You will need 2 till 2.5m
I bought 3, before I will have not enough in the end.
My source was the shop “Tacticaltrim”. I will write the prices into the description, too.
For your information: to build a three-point-sling on you own is not cheaper than buying a prefabricated version
but a prefabricated one sometimes has got cheaper buckles and something like that, therefore the question: Do you want to have a cheaper one or something which is made by your one hands and with reasonable materials?
So: 25mm webbing; two three-bridges; a buckle by Nexus with a one-bridge- and a three-bridge-side
and two hooks for gun- straps, to have a reasonable one. Important: If you buy them in another shop, you will have to check them because of these eyes. Later you will be able to form a one-point-sling with them.
Now I will show you how to produce the sling
Firstly you take the buckle. You firstly need the female part. Take a part of the webbing, the beginning or the end and sew it together.
You are also able to sew it near but it’s your choice.
But not more than 5cm. You must be able to move it. There must be a chance to move it. 3 till 5cm are reasonable.
Not everybody has got a sewing machine, so you ale also able to sew it per hand. It is also sturdy and reasonable.
That’s the beginning of your sling. Let’s unroll it
Important: just keep the orientation in mind
That’s the end. The first thing we will do is to hook one of the three-bridges into the webbing and after it one of the hooks.
We have to push the whole thing to the end.
The hook has to be a length of your hand away from the buckle.
Now you have to put the whole thing again through the three-bridge. We take the webbing, open it, fill it in and pull the whole thing through it. After it, you have to control the length again.
Now there are not many parts left.
You take the end and the buckle and are careful that the middle part of the three-bridge is upstairs.
Control the orientation and pull the end through the under most bridge. The webbing has to run between the under most and the middle bridge.
It has to look like that.
Than you take the hook, hook it into the webbing and it has to be underneath it.
Now you take the second three-bridge. You have to pull it through.
And now the last part: you take it like that and fill it around the middle-bridge, fill it into your three-bridge and take it as the end.
At the moment, you have got an XXL-version of a three-point-sling and you have to adjust it for your personal measures.Noe you have got a three-point-sling.
Firstly the two different ways of carrying.
We will call the first “patrol way” and the second one “direct action”.
We firstly take the strip and put the upper most part around our neck.
Wear a scarf or something like that.
For the “patrol way”, we take our strong arm through the strap. Strong arm: here right, because I am right-hander.
Now I am able to carry the gun before my body and I am able to aim and shot every time.
If I want to change to the left hand, I open the buckle and raise the freedom to move.
I am able to shoot with left and right.
If I do not need it, I will be able to close the buckle and so the strap will support the gun. So I am able to carry it for a long time.
A problem now is the fact that if I shoot and have got an empty magazine, I will need my back-up. If I let the gun fall, it will disturb my movement with my back-up.
Now we change the way of carrying from “patrol” to “direct action”.
The “direct action way” also starts with the first strap around your neck and now you take your weak hand and pull it through. Now we have got the other way of carrying.
We also have the possibility to change the sides. No problems. I think you know, what I mean.
An advantage of this way of carrying is now that the gun will be before my chest and if I take it to the other side, it won’t disturb me.
I am able to shoot, notice that my magazine is empty, take the gun by my side and take my back-up.
With both ways of carrying, I am able to transport the weapon on my back, so I have got the possibility to move my arms.
Let’s come to the other things you are able to do with a three-point-sling.
The simple way of carrying with the mouth to the top and on the right or mouth down to the earth on the left shoulder are possible. And you are able to shoot very fast if you practice it.
You are also able to wear it like a two-point-sling and you have the possibility to carry it only around your neck.
A point which many people forget is the possibility to wear a three-point-sling as a one-point-sling.
You take the first hook and hook it into the other hook.
Now you have a normal one-point-sling which is very good for the cqb- area and for fast moves. You only have one point where the weapon is moving around.
The whole thing will hang before your chest the whole time and you are able to move the weapon to your back to have a free way of moving with you hands.
Another way of moving is the possibility to carry it like a rucksack on you back.
You have to share the sling and than there are two possibilities: Firstly you can grip the straps like an X pull it to your back and fix it there.
The gun won’t disturb and you can carry it a whole day.
If you want to use it now, take the weak hand and pull it through the loop and you will have the weapon ready to fire.
Ok. That’s it with the subject of the three-point-sling. I hope you like this video and I know, I made a video like this in different parts but I want to make a whole video.
You have one solution for all your problems and you can not say that I am “click-lecherous”. That’s far from me. I will be happy about a feedback and we will meet again.
