TACTICAL RAPID ASSAULT SLING TRAS™
for the M-4
The Tactical Rapid Assault Sling (TRAS™) was designed by Richard (“Rick”) A. Garcia, Sr. in 1996 to supply the Military and the Police Special Ops Personnel with an alternative to the 3-point only sling and the standard rifle/carbine/assault carry sling. The TRAS™ blends all of the best but limited functions of other slings and at the same time the TRAS™ provides many more shooting positions then the other slings can provide.
The TRAS™ gives the operator the ability to shot from high angle platforms, aerial platforms, and marine platforms. The TRAS™ Sling also offers a large margin of safety to the operator in the high angle, aerial, and marine platform environment. Another unique characteristic of the TRAS™ is that it delivers enhanced CQB usage for either left or right handed shooters. The TRAS™ is possibly one of the only slings in the CQB environment that can furnish the operator with vertical cover by using the primary weapon as a shield and allowing the operator to deploy a secondary weapon immediately.
The TRAS™ utilizes the martial art concept of the figure eight movement. Using the figure eight enables the operator to regain control of the carbine in a Close Quarter Battle (CQB) recovery, hand to hand fight for the weapon. The TRAS™ sling on the operator is positioned with 2 slings to the back and 1 sling parallel to the weapon. The front and rear sling points are attached to the weapon. This creates a fulcrum effect on the sling allowing the operator to move the carbine in a figure eight configuration.
Rick has developed this “primary weapon shield” concept for the Immediate Action Drill of the TRAS™ in conjunction with the TTT/Mission First™ Tactical Retention/Recovery Lanyard™ (TRRL™) which is attached to the operator’s handgun. Rick designed the TRAS™ and the TRRL™ to work together. These two products evolved into the “Close Quarter Battle/Attached Weapons Tactics” Training.
