Which of the following is one of the four carbine carries?

• A. Cross-draw
• B. Shoulder carry
• C. Low carry
• D. Hang

Answer: (D)

Carbine carries describe how the rifle is positioned on your body to stay mobile while remaining ready. Hang carry uses the sling to let the carbine hang at your side or thigh, with the muzzle pointed in a safe direction and the hands free for other tasks. This setup is particularly useful when you need to move quickly through confined spaces or perform tasks that require your hands, because you can bring the weapon to bear rapidly when the moment comes. The other methods place the rifle in front of or against the body in different ways (across the body for quick access, along the shoulder, or tucked low by the hip), but hang is defined by its suspended, sling-supported configuration.
