Sling help...to bungee or not?

[strider007]

Hey guys...I'm liking the idea of the convertible one/two-point sling. Magpul has a nice one, and I like the one that Tactical Link offers as well. I'm not sure if Magpul's is available as a bungee sling, but Tactical Link's is. So my question is this: how do you guys feel about bungee slings? Are they worth the extra money, or is the bungee cord integrated into the sling completely worthless? Basically, what are the pros and cons of a bungee sling? Thanks...

I'm curious about this, too. Got one from Zahal for some light-duty range play.

The only bungee sling that i have ever tried was a Blackhawk version and it felt like the weapon was on a rubber band. I then became a Magpul slut and still have an MS1 and MS2. but keep one on a Thureon Defence and the other as a backup. I have now switched over to the BFG Vickers two point and gotta say that for me it's much better. It holds the weapon snugger to the body and no more getting tapped in the bag when moving, also it does not get in the way of transitioning to the pistol or getting mags out of the pouches. It's also much faster to adjust the length if need be.
Regards

Bunji single point slings use to be great until two point adjustable slings entered the market (BFG Vickers etc.) They're basically used now on really short PDW's for the most part.

There are some that are still quite popular like the High Ground Ring Sling which will do single and two point.
