Benefits of technology

[0010] The disclosed embodiments of the present invention are directed to a sling formed of a strap and a corresponding weapon system having a single attachment point in which the strap has a permanent, durable double loop at one end to reinforce the sling and to provide more quiet operation and prevent loss of connecting members.

Problems solved by technology

One area of concern is material failure in the sling fabric such that the sling separates or fabric loops formed by the sling material come undone, causing the weapon to fall away or become lost.
A further concern is the loss of mounting hardware and buckles when releasable loops on the sling are opened.
The draw-back with this design is the substantial stress placed on the temporary loop by both the mounting ring and buckle, as well as the potential for losing the ring when undoing the sling.
