Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) Sling
Was: $23.50
Now: $21.95
The MOUT Sling was designed with direct input from US Military troops returning from MOUT operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. Designed specifically for Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) this sling offers some serious advantages that are equally useful to law enforcement tactical units, armed citizens and practical shooting competitors.
Similar to our HST Sling, the MOUT Sling excels in the urban dynamic entry role. Used on a weapon with a side receiver sling mount, the body loop secures the sling to a single mounting point.
There are, however, two major differences between the HST and MOUT Slings. The first relates to how the sling attaches to the weapon. The MOUT Sling features a 1" webbing tab that is cut extra long to allow for attachment to a wider variety of weapons. The webbing tab is attached to the male portion of a 1.25" side release buckle. This assembly is intended to stay attached to the weapon at all times. The female portion of the side release buckle is permanently attached to the sling itself, which leads to the next major difference.... With the male portion of the side release buckle attached to the weapon, and the female portion attached to the sling, the sling remains wrapped around the operator's body when the release buckle is disengaged. This is the key feature of this design. If it becomes necessary to unhook the weapon from your body, such as when firing from an unconventional shooting position outside of the capabilities of the sling or something as simple, yet hazardous, as mounting/dismounting a vehicle, there isn't 3 feet of webbing trailing from the weapon. This allows the operator a much greater degree of versatility and safety.
Our MOUT Sling is constructed from the same 1" and 1.25" webbing that we use with our CQB and SOP Slings. The MOUT Sling is an ambidextrous design. Therefore, no left or right hand versions are required. These slings are currently available in Black, Olive Drab or Coyote Tan.
