Makes it easier to sling on his back in the DFAC that way.

That guy had.. two? slings on his rifle. One wrapped around his lower receiver, the other was a clip on the back to use as a single point it seems.
That was more painful than a root canal without any anesthesia....... WTF?
Not everyone in the military is a professional or a gun guy.
I used to see ****ed up slings all the time, because a rifle to 97% of the people on base is a stupid piece of luggage some old guy will scream at you about if caught without. Also your eye pro and reflective belt better be on tight. It was pretty comical living with the Army, and just being being blatantly Air Force.
So he acknowledges the lesser kinetic energy and range, but its okay because he gets to save 5 ounces over a 14.5" barrel.
Makes sense.
Cleared Hot, I've never ever thought about saying "un" if front of the eff word.
Brilliant!
In my best goose from top gun voice, "ma'am, we regret to inform you that your son is dead on account of stupidity and and inability to unf*uck what he did to his rifle fast enough."
No disrespect to military, I quote only in making fun of his stupidly in the video. I have the utmost gratitude for military men and women.
Thank god he had cover and squad mates with him.
