True.

 

Personally I don't see so much objective debate being necessary on such a topic. No disrespect to anyone having preference to single point or any other fancy configuration out there. But unless your in combat or some type of tac LEO. A normal 2 point (with QD if desired) is 100% adequate and most functional to anyone bar tacticool being the priority

But everyone can benefit for a quality sling, not just cops and Military. Also, a lot of folks take training classes that require a sling as mandatory equipment. There are many better options than a standard 2 point carry strap that comes with the rifle - which is much less than 100% adequate.

 

Think of a sling as a holster for your long gun (a carry strap is not a sling). If you don't have a sling on a long gun you intend to use for "social events" (HD, SD, SHTF, etc...) you are behind the curve because now all you can do is shoot it or drop it.

 

Having functional gear isn't tacticool.

I had that standard 2 point carry strap previously that comes with it. It sucks and is the reason I wanted a new sling. It's absolutely useless I think.

    • I very seriously doubt this has anything to do with terrorism.    1) Harbor pilots are VERY seriously vetted, and highly trained. Not to mention extremely well paid. My experience knowing a few of them, and knowing how they are recruited and screened tells me that there is a slim to highly unlikely chance that a harbor pilot would have participated in anything like that.    2) Maintenance of foreign flag ships is well known to be dubious. Especially these days. These were NOT US flag, Jones act sailors. It was (to my understanding) a largely Indian crew on that ship, with a Ukrainian Captain. Indian crews are not exactly known for being stellar.    3) The bunkers (fuel) these ships use is ‘Bunker C’, which is a heavy, dirty fuel oil that can, and usually is, pretty contaminated. This stuff ain’t your car grade gasoline or diesel fuel. It’s nasty.   It requires nearly constant filter changes and maintenance to the engine/generators. The ship took on fuel prior to departing port, which would stir up all kinds of shit in the fuel tanks, which would contribute to particulates in the fuel lines/filters.    4) I’d say the posting of the chief engineer for Maserek above was pretty spot on as far as chain of events.    This was a shitty accident, with horrible timing and outcome. Not a terror attack. 
    • I saw Lara's interview on Bannon's War Room, and that gave me pause for thought. Her conjecture depends primarily on the veracity of her sources. Regardless, if it's not applicable in any way to this ship disaster, the methods described seem valid to me. And worthy of consideration for the future. As I said before, IMO something is coming.
