G36k Sling Types?

[Cortex]

Alright I'm still pretty new to airsoft so I don't yet have a sling for my G36k, now my question is simple. To all you G36 users out there, what kind of slings/straps do you use? I'm a little confused as the only connectors are on the rear half of the gun, one on the rear of the receiver, and one near the back of the folding stock...

You need to run keyrings or loops of paracord through the sling points on the G36 to fit most slings.

I have been using a one point sling on it. Does the trick as the gun is small enough when you fold the stock.

I've used a 3 point sling for years and swear by them. They take a bit to get used to them, but once you do, it's a great set up. The gun is always at the ready when you hold it. Once you drop it it hangs naturally where you can grab it easily or you can swing it around your back to free your hands for grabing your secondary, climbing, dragging wounded, etc. Just don't use the sling mount in the stock. It'll be way to weak on an airsoft G36, even if you relace it with a real steel one, there's too much stress on the body. The bodt sling mount near the stock is metal reinforced, at least on the TM gun.

Alright, I've got the long rails on it right now so I could buy a sling attachment for it I guess.

Or you can just run a length of paracord around a side vents post in the foregrip.

I use a keychain ring through the mainbody sling point and carabiner my G36C to my vest.

I was thinking of running... Well, something through the vents, but it's not exactly realistic. Is it?

My G36 is as big as a man and I still use single point sling.

I used a single point sling for several months with my K and still do for my C variant. However I recently switched back to the 3 point for the K. Works much better. I had to do as described and run a strap between the bottom rail and the foregrip, and the back one around the skeleton stock top.
