M4/M16 US Army RFI-Issue 3-Point Sling, NSN 1005-01-541-1771
PROBLEM: Most weapon slings on the market today are only designed to fit one type of weapon and only offer one way to carry and employ that weapon. This is highly impractical given the ever-changing conditions, equipment, and tactics that troops have to deal with. Slings that work for one application or user don’t work for others, making it almost impossible for units to field equipment that meets every need.
SOLUTION: The Universal Combat Fighting Sling is a one-sling-fits-all system that simplifies the sling selection process and improves performance in the field. Innovations like the new UNIVERSAL design, which allows the sling to be mounted to virtually all weapons platforms, and the patent pending “Uni-Link” feature, which improves the way it is mounted, sets a new performance standard for weapon slings.
