Morning brew, reading up on airsoft.. it's a good image actually I like it, heh.
You reminded me actually that I made a quick demo video of my customised sling just to show the attachment, shoulder swaps, reloads and pistol transitions:
Only had an SD camera available at the time unfortunately but I'll be using my usual HD cam when I get the new revision sorted.

Bit of an update to the thread while I'm working on putting together the Gen 2 A.S.S. here.
I've been doing a bit more searching around lately and when I was looking at a few videos from Hardpoint Equipment on YT I noticed a link through to some more media by Ares Armo(u)r which demonstrate their Huskey Amentum slider sling, and I think it's actually a very good option for anyone out there who wants a sling which fulfils the criteria that I had when I put together the original A.S.S. Those criteria primarily consisting of the following:
To enable you to use the Huskey Amentum as an adaptable sling you simply need the addition of one of these Viking Tactics QD point tri-glides:
A demonstration of which you can view here:

If you're interested in picking one of these up then Op Tactical have a really great deal on the quick release version at the moment. They've also got them in MC, Coyote, ATACS-AU and Black which should accommodate the majority of people I'd think:

They've also got the VTAC Tri-glides in at a lower price than the Ares site:

Though if anybody is really keen on an ATACS-FG, OD green or pink ( :huh: ) sling then those are available from Ares' own site for a few dollars more (worth noting they also stock the VTAC Tri-glides):
http://www.aresarmor.com/install/ecom-prod...ahuskey2pt.html
The only real dis-advantage I can see there being to this sling is the fact that the front attachment point has to be a QD button, unlike the MS2 or MS3 hardware you can't just latch it on to any old sling hook. That said however, an awful lot of RIS designs now do integrate QD attachment points, as do some gas blocks, and it's also really easy to get a rail mounted QD point that'll go up the front of any weapon you have that features even a tiny section of 20mm up the front of its' handguard (which is the vast majority these days). So when you really look at it, considering the price saving vs. buying yourself two sling as I have, it's not really too much of an issue.
Overall, an option well worth considering for those who would rather save a bit of cash to get essentially the same functionality as an A.S.S. style hybrid and aren't bothered about the necessity of the QD point.

Those criteria primarily consisting of the following:
- Adaptable/1-to-2 point configuration to maximise versatility
- Increased comfort through the addition of padding and wider materials across the neck/shoulder area
- Simple and effective quick adjustment system
- Various options of colours and camouflage patterns
