so it can hang around you so if for example you needed to get something else out of your pocket you wouldn't need to worry about someone taking it.



Modern rifles have a sling that allows the soldier to get a tighter grip on the rifle by wrapping the sling around his arm. This steadies his aim for long range shots.
