Making The Sling From HEAT ( film ) Shootout
Making The Sling From HEAT ( film ) Shootout
by Shawn on 2014/04/26
I think anyone who likes the AR15 pattern rifle, or guns period , has seen the movie HEAT from the mid 90s with the bank robbery shoot out. As a fun time killing project, a friend looked around online and found out how the films armorer rigged up the guns so the bank robbers could hide them under their business suits.
It is nothing more complex then bungees taped together with a hook. It is simple and cheap, but it is a neat little trick. Since the felons in the movie did not care or need anything fancy, it works well for the intended purpose.
Once you get them taped together and add a snap hook or something similar, you slide it on just like a shoulder holster, or bra.
They are snug but not un-comfy, and since it stretches it will fit anyone pretty easy.
The gun easily fits up snug under the arm and is ready to deploy in a heart beat if you see Al Pacino trying to shoot you.
Cool factor of having this set up is wasted if you do not have proper Colt Commando though. Sorry.
Do not use this to rob a bank in LA or anywhere. Its for entertainment only.

ATF Jan 2nd, 2015 Ruling contradicts FBI ballistics
" Such activity runs contrary to a major
purpose of the GCA in that it eliminates the ability of law
enforcement to trace firearms used in
crime, or stolen or lost firearms."
The idea that firearms require serialization and manufacturing marks in order for LE to trace runs contrary to FBI ballistics experts which have maintained for years that firearms can be traced via the striations and other markings examined from barrels. Of course serialization makes tracing easier, but is not strictly speaking necessary for firearms used in crimes unless the only crime was theft of a (never fired) firearm.
Of course, I don't believe the FBI for one minute that such striations and barrel markings are conclusive but many juries have convicted on such a shaky and unscientific standard of evidence for many years.
