    2 slings and a grip pod set way back next to his magazine. Wonder if this was his first foray off the FOB. Again, these guys are not always firearm guys.

    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.
    Wait really?

    My wife doesn't even know what a FOB is and she knows it's retarded. Gun guy or not common sense goes a long way. You don't need to have been in the military or police to identify some of the retarded shit some people do. Two slings wound so tight as to impede the use of basic controls is just obvious.

    I've seen a lot of shit like that in support units. Judging by the lack of a PEQ on his rifle, I'm going to assume he serves in a non-combat arms unit and probably doesn't have the training to make informed decisions on equipment setup. The Grip Pod is VERY popular in those types of units because it lets them set their rifles on the floor of the DFAC when eating or beside their desk in their office.

    I'll try to get pics of the "Best of Bagram" rifle setups when I can get around to it. You guys would get a kick out of some of them.

    an "explanation" for the second sling from the video description -

    "..... As for the sling it is wrapped around to protect from having the mag release hit while patrolling and moving in and out of vehicles. It does not in any way hinder my ability to effectively provide fire or hit targets down range."

    Not to mess with personal security or anything, Dano. But it's on your username, so I figure it's free game.

    Are you Army SF? Or Navy SEAL? 5326 is a Navy MOS isn't it?

    BTW. That video is agonizing to watch. "It barely missed me, man! Now I'm gonna lay here, while YOU shoot!"

I have never deployed without at least 2 upper that I built with me (one is always my Noveske). I have also never deployed with an upper that did not have several thousand rounds through it.
    How does that work?

    Looking at the double sling, it looks like a sling and wolf hook layout. He probably uses the wrapped sling when he is not in armor, and the wolf hook when he is wearing his vest. It's a ttp, but that wrapped sling would have driven me nuts and I'd hate to see him get hurt because Mr Murphy moved the sling between his finger and his safety.
