BCM Training Tip - Push/Pull Sling Tension 4k

Published on October 25, 2019
Duration: 5:21

This BCM training tip, presented by Larry Vickers, details the 'push/pull' sling tension technique for firearms without buttstocks, such as the Arsenal USA SAM7K pistol. By adjusting the Blue Force Gear 221 sling to create tension when arms are extended, shooters can significantly improve recoil control and follow-up shot speed through a simultaneous push and pull motion. This technique is particularly useful for compact submachine guns or when awaiting NFA paperwork.

Quick Summary

Larry Vickers demonstrates the 'push/pull' sling tension technique for stockless firearms. By adjusting the sling to be taut when arms are extended, shooters can push forward with their support hand and pull back with their firing hand simultaneously. This creates stability, improves recoil control, and speeds up follow-up shots, making it ideal for pistols like the Arsenal SAM7K or compact SMGs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'push/pull' sling tension technique?

The 'push/pull' sling tension technique involves using a taut sling to create resistance. When firing, you simultaneously push forward with your support hand and pull back with your firing hand, leveraging the sling's tension for enhanced firearm stability and recoil control, especially on stockless weapons.

How do you properly set up a sling for the push/pull technique?

To set up for the push/pull technique, adjust your sling (like the Blue Force Gear 221) so it becomes taut when your arms are fully extended forward. This ensures there's tension to work against when you apply the push and pull motions during firing.

What firearms is the push/pull sling tension technique most useful for?

This technique is particularly effective for firearms lacking a buttstock, such as pistols like the Arsenal USA SAM7K or compact submachine guns like the HK MP5K. It's also beneficial for those awaiting NFA paperwork for SBRs.

Who demonstrates the push/pull sling tension technique?

The push/pull sling tension technique is demonstrated by Larry Vickers, a highly experienced firearms instructor and former Delta Force operator, in this BCM training tip video.
