Kinds Of 5.11 MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty basic in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is normally fastened with Velcro. In addition to being offered from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most budget-friendly ways to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the basic mag pouches with a few differences. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to place and remove magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most sophisticated kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine securely under tension. In order to make mag access simpler and magazine swaps faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch uses MOLLE accessories so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch elements are generally made from ABS components.
The 5.11 brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag design use varying types of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cords or rubberized tension bands (depending on manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps securely hold the magazines so you don’t have to think about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing up things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
5.11 MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Pistol Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches come in related designs to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which come in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of standard handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines very well with this long lasting Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most frequently found variations of pistol pouches. A lot of the same manufacturers that make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same style. This includes companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are excellent quality, functional, and are duplicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch featuring both a rifle and handgun magazine. A pair of mags are generally far better than one. This pouch shows this to be correct since it saves you cash from having to buy two pouches. As an example, the cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over buying all six independently (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines). Never ever purchase pouches one at a time when you can get them together.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) create a spot for you to dump empty mags and other things into during fights. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for additional security while moving on the run with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK means individual first aid kit and consists of the medical gear airsoft players need when they have to patch up a cut or injury on the field. A first aid pack must include the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, a number of sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create space for holding tools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field items. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else generally. Think extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own specific pouch), and other gear you may need on the airsoft field or in a tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft units work with communications and radios devices in the field. Operating a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications gear while moving.
