A sling is required for combat applications where you WILL BE transitioning to secondary, tossing grenades and dealing with prisoners/wounded/ non combatants. a Single point is the way to go here .. as the weapon is dropped to weakside.. and a single point will work flawlessly for this.
For patrolling and Advance to contact scenarios .. SOP used to be to remove the sling from the weapon as there would be no time that the weapon would not be held active .. and No sling ensured you did not get lazy. To rest.. you put the weapon down.
In practice.. a simple 2 point .. tightened up so it was not loose and prone to snagging was often used So that you had the sling .. in case you need to sling arms to do a casualty evac.. or some other task that required free hands.
I run single point MS-2 slings on Carbines and PDW/ SMGs.. always.. as it is low profile and the snap hook lets you free the weapon from the sling at will and you have the 2 point, one point options. it's well designed.. and effective
For long arms, battle rifles, I run a BFG Vickers.. and like it quite a bit
