reesetee commented on the word artillery loop
A type of tie loop used when the loop needs to be elsewhere than in the middle of a rope. Not as strong as the butterfly, but it is more easily tied and untied. Once used by artillery men to carry guns over the shoulder, it's best used as a temporary knot for carrying.
