Slings can be attached to your shotgun, sniper rifle, sub machine gun, and other larger than handgun type AEGs in numerous ways. The simplest attachment method is the sling loop. Many guns come equipped with loops that allow you to attach a sling by looping the strap through the loop and back into a buckle or slider. If your airsoft gun does not come equipped with any loops it might be necessary to add some sling mounting hardware. Sling mounting hardware might come in the form of gun specific accessories, universal mounting hardware, or items that add loops or quick detach points to your gun. Slings might come with mounting solutions built into them or be built and configured in a way that would allow you to personalize their attachment points. Simple slings can be retrofitted with aftermarket hardware to give you the desired attachment system as well. Your choice to go with a simple sling setup or one with special hardware is dependent on if you value being able to take the sling off quickly or not.
For sling recommendations, you can reach out to us with your make and model of airsoft guns for some assistance by e-mail. It is crucial you know your airsoft gun or can accurately describe your airsoft gun in order for us to help you find the best one.

What is a sling loop?
A sling loop is a simple loop that allows you to attach a simple sling to. These are often seen on older style guns. It is usually possible to add sling loops to guns without them with gun specific accessories designed to add sling mounting points or through items that tie to the furniture of the gun and provide some sort of attachment point from there.
What is a mash hook?
A mash hook type of sling attachment has a spring loaded hook that can attach itself to a rounded sling loop such as those found on HK style guns. The hook looks in place and does not come off unless you depress the spring loaded part to open up the hook. The big benefit to the mash hook type sling is how easy it is to add or remove. You won't find as many guns that use the type of sling loops that work for these however.
What is a QD socket?
A QD socket is a hole with a channel cut into it. A push button QD sling loop will have metal ball bearings that act as detends that lock into these sockets. When you push the button, the ball bearings move inward and no longer grab into the socket, allowing you to quickly and easily remove the hardware. The big benefit to this type is how quick it is to add or remove your sling, and the fact that you can make many guns compatible with QD sockets.
What type of attachment is best?
The most important thing about a high quality attachment point is that it is secure. Poor quality slings or sling hardware do not hold the straps or webbing securely and can come undone on their own. Poor quality hardware can fail or not hold the rifle securely either. This would result in you unintentionally dropping that expensive rifle on the ground.
