Blue Force Gear Slings: VCAS and Vickers Combat Application Sling

The Blue Force Gear Vickers Combat Application Sling (VCAS) is one of the most widely used two-point slings in the US military and law enforcement community. Co-developed with retired Delta Force operator Larry Vickers, the VCAS features a pull-tab rapid length adjustment that allows the shooter to transition from a slung carry position to a fighting position in a single motion with one hand. The sling is made from BFG’s Helium Whisper webbing — a proprietary material that is softer, lighter, and quieter than standard nylon while maintaining full strength. The VCAS is available in standard and padded configurations and fits any two-point sling attachment system. For AR-15 and carbine shooters who want a field-proven two-point sling, the VCAS is consistently the benchmark recommendation.

Blue Force Gear MOLLE Pouches and Load-Bearing Equipment

Blue Force Gear’s pouch lineup covers magazine pouches, utility pouches, admin pouches, and medical pouches all built around their Stackable Loop MOLLE attachment system. Unlike traditional MOLLE weave attachment that requires threading webbing through multiple rows, BFG’s loop system uses a hook-and-loop backed rigid loop that snaps onto MOLLE-compatible webbing in seconds without tools. Magazine pouches are available for AR-15, AK, pistol, and shotgun configurations in single and double variants. Their Ten-Speed series of elastic magazine pouches is particularly popular for its low profile, ultralight weight, and universal fit across different magazine sizes without adjustment.

Blue Force Gear for Competition Shooters

Blue Force Gear’s Ten-Speed pouches have become a standard item in 3-Gun and USPSA competition rigs due to their low weight, fast access, and ability to fit different magazine types on the same carrier. Competition shooters running a mixed stage with pistol and rifle stages can use Ten-Speed pouches for both without changing equipment. BFG also produces competition-specific belt systems and dump pouches designed around the unique movement demands of competition stages where shooters are running, transitioning, and reloading under time pressure.

Blue Force Gear Military and Law Enforcement Use

Blue Force Gear is an established military and law enforcement supplier. The VCAS sling is issued by multiple US military units, and BFG pouches and slings appear throughout special operations and conventional military inventories. Their products are used operationally because they meet the weight reduction demands of dismounted operations while surviving the abuse of field deployment. For civilian buyers, this operational pedigree provides confidence that BFG gear will hold up to the most demanding range and training use.
