There are plenty of other options for the clasp as well. Feel free to use another carabiner, &#8220;HK&#8221; hook, or your favorite QD (Quick Detach) mount. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I like the heavy duty &#8220;lobster&#8221; style hooks. They are quick to throw onto a universal style ring on the shotgun or whatever it is that you&#8217;re trying to retain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Making the Breaching Shotgun Retention Sling<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This DIY sling has been around for decades and I learned how to assemble it from members of our Nation&#8217;s premiere raid force, The 75th Ranger Regiment.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5609 size-full\" title=\"Mounting sling to plate carrier.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Installing_Sling_Web.jpg\" alt=\"Mounting sling to MOLLE panel of plate carrier.\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Installing_Sling_Web.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Installing_Sling_Web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Installing_Sling_Web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Installing_Sling_Web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Installing_Sling_Web-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Installing_Sling_Web-627x353.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Assembly<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to assemble the sling, remove the heads from the bungee cord and send one end through the grommet carabiner and tie a stop-knot at the end so it doesn&#8217;t slip through. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, make sure to add whatever clasp you want. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last step is to tie a loop large enough to fit your arm through and secure it in place with a knot and some tape for extra security. The only limiting factor is that you will have to mount it to your place carrier. Take the end with the carabiner and thread or clip it on your plate carrier using the &#8220;MOLLE&#8221; webbing on the back. <\/span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5604\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web-610x610.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web-1080x1080.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web-627x627.jpg 627w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Putting_PC_On_Web-440x440.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the sling is on, it will rest on your shoulder without interfering with your regular rifle sling.

When not in use, I find that putting the clasp on the front helps to keep it from becoming a hot spot or falling off the shoulder. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5620\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Clipped_On_Front_Web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Clipped_On_Front_Web.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Clipped_On_Front_Web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Clipped_On_Front_Web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Clipped_On_Front_Web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Clipped_On_Front_Web-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/Clipped_On_Front_Web-627x353.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Retention Types<\/h3>\n<p>When you are stowing the shotgun, (or other platform) simply place it behind the shoulder. There are multiple ways to stow the shotgun using both active or passive retention devices. Of course, it can hang free which is useful if you anticipate using the shotgun frequently or need immediate access. Where it will become a problem is moving around or changing positions. If it is moving freely, you won&#8217;t be able to maintain control over it from swinging, banging on gear and getting in the way.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5622\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/In_Retainer_Web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/In_Retainer_Web.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/In_Retainer_Web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/In_Retainer_Web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/In_Retainer_Web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/In_Retainer_Web-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/In_Retainer_Web-627x353.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Passive<\/h4>\n<p>I would recommend at a minimum having some sort of passive retention. A weapons catch on the belt line works well.

This holds the shotgun in place until ready for use. Some experienced individuals use magnets on their plate carriers in order to supplement a belt worn retainer as a passive solution. As long as you have a hard and fast active retention device you&#8217;ll be okay. Just be sure to work out the kinks as much as possible prior to live-fire training.<\/p>\n<h2>Shotgun Use in Combat<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Documented use of the shotgun in American combat arms is easily traced to WWI but was in fact used far prior to what we think. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Historical Use<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shotguns like the Winchester 1897 were used during the Philippine-American War of 1899-1902 when many of the current issued weapons were proven to have lackluster effects against adversaries in the Philippines. Even earlier, the blunderbuss was used predominantly by piracy crews for overtaking merchant ships. Having the capability to launch multiple lethal projectiles in one firing sequence was incredibly devastating. It increased the overall force one individual could present during a conflict.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Modern Use<\/h3>\n<p>Since those days, the use of shotguns has not slowed down, but rather shifted its employment in modern combat and law enforcement. Shotguns are more specialized both in the actual systems and the rounds that are made for them.<\/p>\n<h4>Law Enforcement<\/h4>\n<p>Law enforcement often utilizes specialty ammo like the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/less-lethal-shotgun-ammo\/\">Less-Lethal<\/a>&#8221; pepper rounds, as well as beanbags, rubber slugs and a myriad of other custom rounds. Their purpose range from riot control to subduing armed suspects and even hostage rescue!<\/p>\n<h4>Military, Special Forces and Other Elite Units<\/h4>\n<p>In the US military, soldiers from Infantry divisions all the way up to Special Forces and Special Operations Forces use shotguns primarily for ballistic breaching. The systems they use are customized to be compact, lightweight and easy to maneuver in and around tight spaces. Additionally, it needs to be usable under night vision. They will often times have specialized IR (infared) lights mounted on their shotguns. This helps them see where they are placing the muzzle on the door.<\/p>\n<p>This application is where the breaching retention sling shines.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5615\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web-610x343.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web-1080x608.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/blog\/media\/OldSchool_NewSchool_Sling_Web-627x353.jpg 627w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The sling pictured above (top\/black) has been used actively in an elite unit up until this year. It was then modified and updated (bottom\/green). I don&#8217;t have enough experience using the modified version so I omitted it from the article today. Members of this unit however, assured me that both work very well and serve the purpose of retaining a shotgun or another weapon for whatever use you may have.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As for the loads they use, the most common are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoman.com\/12-gauge-fiocchi-demolition-breaching-slug-250\">specialized breaching rounds<\/a>. The rounds will disperse all of the energy into whatever is immediately hit, and then break up into a relatively harmless dust after passing through the door. This ensures that soldiers do not harm anyone who may not be a target of interest on the opposite side of the door. Remember Rule Number 4 of firearms safety, &#8220;Know your target, foreground and background.&#8221; Picking specific angles to shoot and using breaching rounds dramatically decreases the likelihood of shooting someone who does not need to be shot.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you use a shotgun professionally, just like the way it looks, or are just dreaming of finally getting a battlefield pickup, now you can go out and make a breaching shotgun retention sling for yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;If I&#8217;m carrying a rifle, how would I also carry a shotgun?&#8221; Today, we are showcasing a popular homemade sling that Special Operations Forces and elite law enforcement units use for retention of their breaching shotguns and other specialized tools.
