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.
