unslings

Takes off shoulder

Unslings is the third-person singular present tense of unsling, meaning to remove something from a slung position—typically taking a rifle, bag, or other object off one's shoulder: He unslings his pack and sets it on the ground.

The word appears most often in military or outdoor contexts where gear is carried on straps.
