hey guys thanks for tuning in to a quick
video on in range TV this is an addendum
a follow up to Carl's video on slings
now Carl told you the proper use for a
three-point sling which is to take it
off cut it into little pieces and throw
it away however there were a number of
people who asked how do you how are you
supposed to use one or what are the
incorrect uses of a three point sling
should you find yourself say forced to
use one and not allowed to use anything
else so I have this French FAMAS here
and I figured I would take a moment to
use it to demonstrate the proper usage
or the improper usage of a three point
sling because that's what these rifles
were all issued with in the French
military so to start this is attached to
the front bipod leg of the rifle and a
loop on the buttstock the three points
thing attachment is currently locked in
place right here now to use this as a
two-point sling you will leave that in
place I have a two point sling I can
sling it muzzle down I can sling it also
up easy now in order to use it as a
3-point sling I need to unsnap this
front loop all right with that unbuckled
you can see I now have two loops of the
sling now I want to take the outer loop
here I'm going to point the rifle away
from myself and I'm going to put my head
and my dominant shooting arm through
this loop I'm doing this right-handed
because that's how this rifle is set up
right now so rifle away from me head
goes through dominant arm goes through
and now untwist the sling now I have the
rifle properly slung or improperly
remember what you should do is cut this
throw it away however force to use it
that is this is one manner of carry you
can see it actually kind of slings
nicely down at my side out of the way I
can do stuff I can manipulate things now
if I don't want the rifle kind of
flopping around or if I want to look
nice and professional on parade I can
strap it right across my chest
simply by slinging it up
like this now if I need to climb a
ladder I've got my rifle in front of me
if I am on parade if I'm sitting in an
armored vehicle and I don't want the
rifle on the floor I don't want it
obstructing everyone else I can tighten
it right up against my chest where it's
out of everyone else's way from any of
these positions I can bring it up and
actually shoot sorry
not designed for use with a lavalier
microphone there from this position I
can grab the grip bring it up and shoot
without the sling tangoing then now
lastly it's a I need to just totally get
this thing out of my way I can take it
and just drop it over my back and you
can see it hangs behind me out of the
way from this position you can still
grab it bring it up and bring it to the
shoulder without interfering with the
sling there you go guys that is the
intended use of a three-point sling I
can do that
mostly successfully here because I have
this nice sterile video area you can see
that just this little microphone hanging
on my collar got in the way you can
imagine how this gets in the way a lot
more when you're wearing a whole bunch
of other web gear and armor and radios
and helmets and the other junk that you
would typically be wearing if you are
actually deployed military or police so
this sling concept is really cool the
execution can be made to look really
slick and high-speed but when you're
actually using them in a practical
environment a lot of that just kind of
falls apart thanks for watching if you
