    Ok here goes nothing,

    I use a G-36c and would like to get a sling for it, preferably 2 point, but i'm open to suggestion from you guru's out there.
    I dont want to pay more than 40 dollars (just FYI).
    Also i need a sling with clips that wont have the hooks/clips break it's second use.

    Knee/leg pro is a must for me since i like to go "holly wood" when taking cover; this has caused me some issues

    The Bijan knee pads i currently use are old, worn and dont fit properly. This is why i'd like to invest in some new knee pads that
    fit, dont slide down all the time, dont wear out (dont rip up), and are relatively light.
    again price range no more that 40 dollars.

    If anyone could recommend me some gear and where to buy it I'd be really happy

    Can't help you with a sling.. But for knee pads, I would look at these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000095SHP I just picked up a pair a few weeks ago and I have played two all day games with them. They buckle to the strap so they are a bit more secure. They are comfortable so that is a plus and I have not had any problems with them slipping at all once adjusted right. Looks like Amazon went up on the price a bit because I just got them for $15 but they are still under $20 so that is not bad. I have owned some that are more expensive and really see no big difference between them. These look like they will hold up just as well!

    I have used Alta's in the past. They were pretty good, but after several years use in the Infantry, the elastic didn't keep them in place very well. I know use knee pad's by Hatch. These are really great. The attach the same way as the Alta's, but add velcro so you don't have the extra strap end's flopping around. I have used them on a coupld of deployments including Afghanistan, and now use them for airsoft. I love them. I think they might push your $40. I think they are about $30 or so. Not sure.

    I truly believe you get what you pay for.

    get a one point sling. it's functional, it's easy, and though there are some reasons in this video we airsofters don't need to worry about (unless you are shot by ryan, reed, or poopdaddy of course) there are some very good points

    ghost,

    1 point bungee right?

    as for knee pads the major issue i have had with them is the hard cap that protects the knee, ripping off

    Love magpul, their videos are so informative.
    also i have OD bungie one-point sling that i dont want. i bought it on ebay becuase it said it had no wear on it, it was right, but it reaked on ciggerette smoke, and is too big for me(im pretty skinny). so if you dont mind ciggerette smell you can have it for 10$(bought it for 20$)

    I go there too only problem is the majority of the slings they carry are for hunting rifles or rifles that can use an AR style sling.
    They are also unreliable on the products they have from week to week.

    as you can see ^
    the Ones i bought to replace these cost me 4 bucks together. As you can see they are worn.Advice/recommendations on some gear  100_2600 Advice/recommendations on some gear  100_2601
    the one i have on is the one that fits. i got them out of a big 'ol box of these knee pads that were for sale for 2 bucks a piece.
    i would like to get some more like them but i cant find them for sale online.
