Review Irene Adaptive Sling from Mission Spec

[clap5]

I don't like the mash hooks on this...plus I wish they had a padded version...not bad tho.

[buckeyesoh5197]

get a real gun and then when u to learn to work the equipment

[applevalleyjoe]

Nice review. You would be a good salesman for IRENE!

[airsofter31]

would this work with a left handed person?

i would guess that it would but just wanted to make sure before spending $35

[jtran15570]

would you recomend this for use on a echo 1 mp5?

[clonecommando522]

i NEED this sling, would it work with a Scar? because those mounts are pretty thick

[0318kent]

thumbs up for the epic advertisement

[orangechicken210]

the billy mays of airsoft :)

[TheLethalGerbil]

what type and make of g36 is that?

i think im going to puy that cling for my combat machine m4

[YWOOOX]

Seven pounds of gun hanging between ur legs

[Charbonneau138749]

After you sinch up the sling does it tend to come loose if you start running?

[JakeW117]

i wonder if there will be a military adaptation to this sling (if there already isn't one). it's an ingenious design for sure.

[lockedowne]

@JakeW117

Im currently using one on my M4, in Afghanistan, right now.

I've ran it at a few ranges just before we left, and i liked it a lot. I wound up making my own 1.5" version of it following the IAS sling as a basis. Its less abrasive than the one i bought.

[EliteDuffman]

think I HAVE to buy this :O

[YWOOOX]

what if you dont have a front sling mont? can you attach one?

[MustyYetisTacticalHQ]

Well I was sent over here to check out the sling from someone on my channel. You did a great job of reviewing the sling and it actually looks pretty ingenious. I'm still concerned about it holding up my real AR's and AK, afraid it would break. I'll have to kindly disagree with you on the Magpul MS2 sling, I own two of them. Be honest, do you really think the buckles are complicated, that it requires 5 people??? They are super easy and I think a monkey could do it, definitely not complicated.

[Killer8494]

@CrazyNCman is this sling still available?

[sekuoba]

hi man would this sling work with a solid stock m4?

[fireworksguy666]

will it be harder to swiing it back with a full vest? very nice sling!!

[crazyNCman]

@fireworksguy666 No, it works great with a vest on.

[co8539]

this is awesome thnk u soo much

[LongIslandAirsoft5]

should i get the kwa sr7 or the G&P sentry?

[a1rs0fter]

That thing is slick!



[akat98516]

I finally found the sling that will make my life easier.

[CodenamREM]

Gents, I'm not sure if any of you have been in a real fire fight or not, but if you have the you know that life or death can be determed in a matter of seconds. So my point is that in the time that it will take you to tighten the slack or release it you could have already been shot.

I'm not here to hate on these videos because I think you have a good thing going. I'm just trying to put some real life experience on here for you guys.

[imbatman225]

just get a weapon catch

[sparks444]

I got the sling now, and Im very happy with it. It can do all the things the Pantac 3 point can do, but much faster.

Buyers tip: The tube sling mount does NOT fit the solid stock of an M16. I had to make my own sling mount with 550 cord, which ended up working very well.

Thanks for the tip NCman

[NickDenning3]

Is that a KWA USP45? If so would you recomend it?

[crazyNCman]

@NickDenning3 yes and yes

[NickDenning3]

@crazyNCman

Thanks brother

[run4cov3r]

@NickDenning3 KP45 MATCH is a great field gun because of the long barrel.

[NickDenning3]

@run4cov3r

Thanks for the info bro.

I bought the KP45 tan (ns2), tan cause it was on sale for $110 :D

[run4cov3r]

@NickDenning3 No Prob hope it works for ya!!

[crazyNCman]

@TheSOGDog About the same price.

[CodenamREM]

I've seen the mag-pul one used in the field before and I agree its a lot of work, this looks a lot better then that. I agree when you say it sucks with your weapon flopping around in the back 100% but when you are in a fight fight, epically CQB you don't have two or three seconds to hook it into a two point, but then again this is only airsoft, there re-spawns. Seems like it would be good for an average airsofter but if were hardcore you wouldn't want to bring this to Lion Claws.

[crazyNCman]

@CodenamREM Lion Claw games are no different that other games. This sling was created at a Lion Claws event hence the name IRENE!! Also it was made for real steel guns, military and police.

[BrentK7]

@CodenamREM Slinging up with the IAS at Op Irene 7 was the greatest asset we had on the field before breaching a building. Allowed us to maneuver small hallways and take corners very quickly without the weapon hitting walls and ourselves. In the sewers it was even more valuable.

[XDXMILLERX05]

even if im not playing airsoft. i got 7 lbs of gun between my legs

[crazyNCman]

@XDXMILLERX05 You mean .7 lbs...lol

[XDXMILLERX05]

@crazyNCman thats actually the weight of the ammo..lol *feel free to remove this if too in appropriate*

[techman24]

@crazyNCman

HAHA!!!

[baileythedudeman57]

do a three point review

[warpix]

Great review, its also nice seeing someone give a run down on some of these more complicated slings.

[ThePaperWin]

Very inovative!

[ReaperzAirsoft]

idk but this reminds me of a shamwow commercial im persuaded i

m going to get it

[Hawkgx28Pyro]

A sling you can count on cool and convertable. Another great review

[Bluefoxx3]

finally a sling i can actually use for my M60E4

[paradigmshift7]

I have this sling as well, and I bought it specifically for the throwback+rapid cinch function. The product delivers this function well, and the mash hooks are terrific in that there is no chance they can be disengaged from a sling mount accidentally, which can happen with traditional clips on other sling systems. 1 point of criticism however (also mentioned on ASF), @ 5:40 , when the operator says to wear a collared shirt ; the nylon is terribly ABRASIVE on this sling. Hopefully it is fixed.

[lockedowne]

@paradigmshift7 Take it to any local sewing shop/tailor and see if they can sew some padding or something to it. That's my plan, I ran this sling today at OP: Irene, and i like it a lot, but i didnt like how it rubbed.  Also not a fan of the mash hooks, replaced em with push type QD mounts.

[paradigmshift7]

@lockedowne  Yeah that sounds like a pretty good idea, I didn't even think about that. I was actually thinking of just replacing the stock nylon straps with my Condor sling straps (yeah funny huh, the Condor ones are actually better imho) so I wouldn't have to invest any more money into it. Thanks for that though, I'm sure someone else will find it useful.

[USMCProtector]

pretty cool sling. im just wondering if it would work differently when you have all your gear on...

[ch0k1ngh4z4rd]

Man, those guys are geniuses.

[MaddoggAirsoft]

i know some of you may not agree with this but it seems like it would be alot easyer and quicker 2 have the 1 you had on in the begining

[crazyvulcanman]

whats your secondary

[SHORTREAPER117]

I like the sling I will have to get one.

[WhatIsThisVideoThing]

sounds like the sham wow guy. totally awesome, i want

[Teebird117]

Von Dutch!

[musicfreak8580]

this is pretty cool I have that problem with my 1pt sling because every time I run for cover I'm always more worrie about my gun jumping around and hitting something.

[AmericanArmyAirsoft9]

As soon as i buy my bungee sling i see this. Fml

[ItaLiaNKiinG94]

@AmericanArmyAirsoft9 lol

[TheSlurpeeBoy]

no, the magpul slings arn't hard... you just gotta know how to use it (not trying to be rude) it is a great sling, there is a hook on the end of that pin that you pull to QD the one point, you can tie a string to it and pull that string with your gloves and it works great, as for the rifle being off your body, just get used to it.... (again not trying to be rude, just saying) this new sling is pretty neat through

[martygra666]

just to say i have the magpul ms2 sling, but after seeing this review i havta say....wow....that looks like an awesome sling,will look into buying one! thanks for the videos...

marti from ireland

[natedog45678]

great for indoor and outdoor fields

[gsx44]

Or why not do it the easy way and just throw it over your shoulder always good when there is nothing over you always work for me :-p

[HimmelChef]

very nice sling! definitely going to buy! ty!!!

[MrCadonos]

your accent is so cool

[777headshot]

thanks my M16 has beaten me to death alot

[brockhaugh]

Thats not bad. When i go from my primary, to my sidearm, to my sidearms sidearm shotgun i have to basically unstrap my primary and set it down. Go get my kills and hope to god my guns still there! This would save me a lot of stress!

[JRDURPINE]

I really wish I didn't spend a bunch of money on the Magpul MS2 lol

[joshanddrake]

what kind of belt do you use for your holster? i know kinda random but i saw it and was wondering.

[crazyNCman]

@joshanddrake Thats pretty random. I use the type that goes around my waist! Actually I do not wear any dropleg gear. I hate it.

[JordansReviews]

Do a review on the Vikings tactical sling

[FlammingLobsters]

what is ur side arm

[crazyNCman]

@FlammingLobsters Kwa KP45

[EBB47]

whats up with all those call of duty videos to the side!!? lol

[bigpozz]

Great vid. especially the first part, you showcased the product and its capabilities very well. Very informative (liked)

[AshesOfKaos]

thanks NC for the great review, was gonna buy the magpul sling not anymore

[BushMasterScarecrow]

Your gun was so tightly held to your body it looked like halo. I am getting most definitely getting one of these even thought I only have one gun it will work on.

[holyass242]

it would be cool if the added the pistol holder on the back so when u sling it behind u and pull it tight ur 2ndary is right there

[theonlybuster]

Only question is how long until someone from China makes a cheaper knock off?

[dude1238081]

dose it work on every gun like the AK

[crazyNCman]

@dude1238081 If it has a front and rear sling mount.

[looperterd]

my new kwa m4 broke my rib wilst swinging into my side on a single pointer, gotta try this one now!

[FortFortly]

This is a pretty darn good idea

[RainbowsHaveEyes]

i like it but not going to buy it "yet" just gunna get use to airsoft and graduate my name from newby to noober. lolz

[Garrison64]

Nice design. Good demonstration too.

[Garrison64]

Nice design.

[The42ndAirsoftLegion]

"...over-engineered, just like any Magpul product" hahaha

Quick question, do you think this thing would stand up to the abuse an A&K M249 would put on it? That thing breaks slings like crazy - the only ones I have that won't break on it are old surplus WWII Garand and BAR slings. They work but I keep having these problems. Having a SAW hit you in the nuts is... unpleasant.

[HOLLISKID23]

You should do reviews about gun bags and the importance of them.

[ryan6179]

This is really great Frank! Thanks for doing this review, I'll definitely get one.

[chicken11999933]

This sling is just what I need. I've just recently got my first pistol, and the one point sling just wasn't working out when I switched.

I really like your gear reviews. The gun reviews are great, but people need other things too, and you have that covered. Thanks!

[TheJSVids]

This is a definite must!

[streetgangtm]

BILLY MAYS HERE WITH THE ALL NEW IRENE ADAPTIVE SLING

[cred1616]

im right handed but i shoot left handed

[streetgangtm]

"They're just over-engineered like any other magpul product"

AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH.

[pointman42]

awesome video definitely looks like a sling I need to try. Just wondering what kind of leg rig you were using?

[crazyNCman]

@pointman42 Pantac USA flat rig. We have them on AirsoftCarolina com

[TheMonitorwipes]

sorry if i missed it but how much does it cost?

[chicken11999933]

@TheMonitorwipes Check the description.

[CrazyKidSC]

im getting one thanks man

[TheMonitorwipes]

why people write "dose" instead of does?

[chopdis]

I would never use the IAS again, it scratched the crap out of my magpul UBR stock... i wish i never bought the sling, maybe i can trick some noob into buying it off of me.

[crazyNCman]

@chopdis All slings scratch your gun. If you gun is not getting dings and dents then you are not using it right!

[The42ndAirsoftLegion]

@crazyNCman Well said!

[chefboyardee54]

@crazyNCman i agree. he sounds like a woman and a used look looks great in my opinion.

[missionspec1]

@chopdis Since the IAS was created for real combat operations, we can't be worried about scratching the weapon system. In the words of Travis Haley, "If you are worried about your weapon being scratched... you're probably in the wrong job." We understand you are an airsoft player but please keep in mind that it was designed for Urban Combat Operations. Chopdis, please check your YouTube Inbox. Thank you.

[malok111]

@chopdis I'm a noob =) how much.

[amorton94]

@chopdis I'll take it off your hands for cheap!

[thegeneral123]

Do you ship to the UK and if so how much? Oh and I enjoy your vids!

[crazyNCman]

@thegeneral123 When we get these in at AC I will ship them to the UK. Shipping cost....unknown right now.

[hats4us]

This was one of your best reviews

[ConspiracyAirsoft]

wow i need one of these!!!!

[stellaprs]

what secondary is that ???

[crazyNCman]

@stellaprs Kwa KP45, Pantac Holster

[WLPKalenov]

I think the guys over at Magpul where issuing something *similar* to this, not sure though.

[LukeMiller94]

Nice vid, I run a 1 point sling and I have all the same problems as you mentioned. That realy is the best sling on the market!

[airsoftx]

just looked it up. runs for $34.99. great looking sling. deffinately something ill buy and review in the near future.

[SmurfsRCool]

This has to be one of the best sling setups I have seen yet.

CrazyNCMan, I couldn't help think about you being the Billy Mays of Airsoft from 07:00 - 08:00 =D

[boostar]

That looks awesome! How will it work with a longer rifle, such as the M16?

[wazlwazl]

isnt that a ripp off of the magpul sling ?

[missionspec1]

@wazlwazl Same end-game goal in mind (to make the Operator faster and more efficient) but that is where the similarities stop.

[INCREDIBLGAMER]

NICE SLING GOING TO GET ONE

[pyromaster55]

Looking forward to checking these out at Airsoft Carolina.

[rboss0]

i do have 7 pounds of gun between my legs, but it runs fast out of ammo though

[sparks444]

I remember getting my pantac three-point-sling. No instructions, nothing on the net, ended up doing 1000 different montages before getting it right. At least this MS one seem to have proper instructions.

[gbenifits1968]

very very very nice sling...i wanna buy that sling for my m4

[NoMercyForTheWeak001]

could u fit that stock on an echo 1 m4 carbine?

[crazyNCman]

@NoMercyForTheWeak001 yes. It is made for carbine length rifles.

[DarthF21]

The crickets aprove of the Missionspec sling

[FlameKaiser2]

Hey, thats the same sling Wrangler barn has haha.... GJ on the reviews man keep up the good work 

[danGigantic]

to many crickets :D good review man :D

[Incuby]

U should try a 3 point sling.. to me its better that this one. When u have to walk a long distance u can convert it so ur gun is dangling like a bag pack ;)

[spartan117gw]

thats a pretty interesting sling you got there

[GhostTownFB]

yeah i dont want 7 pounds between my legs, because i already got 5 pounds between my legs

[hshadow86]

@GhostTownFB *chuckle* You should see a doctor about that.

[FirstAndLastEdition]

why do i find out about these cool products when i buy something else. good review though. 

[klumzypinoy]

That's really cool. I have the Magpul MS2 but I need the rail sling adapter (I have a rail on my airsoft M4 which removes the front sling point).

[jonnyboiboi]

ehh. looks cool, but i'll stick with my sling. =)

[uwanaugoda]

1 point slings really bang on my crank, im diggen this.

[ihatenoobsauce]

This is like a Billy Mays Infomercial

[xboxliveis5ive]

im getting this thanks . wait is this in UK

[whyusucksobad]

dude thats amazing. i need one of those things.

[hlodog]

that, is freakin beast, simple yet effective. nice

[ChickenPollos]

wow. i have to get this

[mochafreak111]

Yo I'm wondering dose the whole state of nc air soft cause I have. A 45. To a 60% chance that I might move there

[crazyNCman]

@mochafreak111 We have a pretty happening airsoft scene here.

[fosterdaddy12]

could you please do a reveiw of the crossman tac r 71

[crazyNCman]

@fosterdaddy12 No need to review it since it is crap.

[fosterdaddy12]

@crazyNCman thanks ill save my money then

[Incuby]

@crazyNCman ROFL! Short and honest answer *thumbs up* :D

[ObsessionChange]

I'm getting this now. this deffinitely will solve many MANY problems I have with standard slings

[SugarFreeTargets]

OMG! I freaking want one! I hate all my slings. But this one is so... simple, easy to use, and universal.

[crazyNCman]

@SugarFreeTargets It is well worth it. Everyone I let try this out loves it.

[garretpanda]

@crazyNCman Good review. I do plan on purchasing one once I get my DMR going.

[Dtuely51]

i think thats the most innovative thing in weaponry iv seen i n a while haha and its a sling..

[Xxsomebody1xX]

Also, what is the width of the buffer tube attachment?

Thanks, looking forward to buying one!

[crazyNCman]

@Xxsomebody1xX 1 inch

[DemoN102pl]
