I have seen and heard so many different ways to sling a M4/M16. If having the issued slings I was told have the rifle pointing up. Wait no have it pointing down. Then if having the three point sling I saw rifle slung on back. I saw rifle hanging in the front.
I never saw it in regulations. What do you think it should be?

I think it is a personal preference. I have a 3 point sling that I used to carry up front in the ready as well as a 1 point sling that was connected to my shoulder so that it would just hang there. However, it was still in front of me and pointing towards the ground.

I agree, when you're just carrying your weapon the barrel should be pointed down, as that is the safest direction. When in combat, as we all know, most bets are off. It's whatever it takes to get you home at the end of the day.

When using the sling. It should be slung on the shoulder with the barrel pointing up. This to allow you to get it in your hand and up into foreign position and if your really good. You can hit the selector to semi without looking. And if your really excellent you can also charge it before hitting the selector to semi.
