Hi all
How long is the sling for the pulse rifle? Been looking at GP military straps on ebay. I know they arent sa but like the military look to them.

Ok Ill ask again, What is the length of the pulse rifle sling? I know the width is two inches.

Unless someone here got an actual screen-used prop, we'd probably never know.
Also they should be adjustable, so they'd have a min and max length.

The ones I have for my PR and Motion Tracker are 44 inches long (not including clip ends) and 2 inches wide.

Ok thats waht I was looking for. Wanted to make sure what i had was close to the proper length. I got two GP military straps and they are 2 inches wide and 44 long. Whats the proper way to sling the rifle, across the body or just over the shoulder?

I used GP straps on my tracker and pulse for years. They work great. I will say you have to max out the length on the adjustability, but they absolutely look the part.

Anyways PVB is right that comfort is key. I suppose the single shoulder was most popular in the film, but I don't see how a sane person could claim that was "correct USCM policy" vs. actor's preference.

Personally, I would never strap my pulse across my body regardless of sling because I am not certain the pulse wouldn't break! My Airsoft pulse is a bit flimsy in the triangle and my personal build is sturdy enough, but I would still prefer to know I could un-sling it in a pinch (and without taking my helmet off) if I have to move a way that might cause stress at the sling points. As such, I prefer single shoulder. Just my paranoid mind.

Yeah Im pretty confident in the fact that my barrel vent will
hold but at the same time dont want to stress it. It is metal and I threaded and bolted the backside of the sling mount. If Im ever hanging from the strap in an airduct like Bruce Willis in Die Hard I guess we will see how much it can handle!(I know different gun):)!
