About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The NcSTAR VISM Tactical Shotshell Carrier is a tactical pouch. A lot of tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style accessories. MOLLE straps provide a versatile method for users to select the installation place and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE accessory panel area.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE means Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and refers to the pouches, panels, and straps which are employed in the MOLLE gear system. Here are the three parts of the installing system: MOLLE panels, pouches, and straps. Mounting tactical pouches is quick and simple. Simply thread the straps and snap the buttons to secure them in place. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s have a look at some of the most efficient MOLLE pouches you can add to your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft gun magazine pouches.

About the NcSTAR Brand
The NcSTAR brand is quite well-known as a quality pouch maker. They produce fairly good quality airsoft equipment and other gear. If you have questions about their pouches or troubleshooting inquiries, you can find additional information on the brand’s website.
Kinds Of NcSTAR MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are also called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ since they are quite standard in style. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for extra security that is generally attached with Velcro. In addition to being readily available from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are long lasting and one of the most economical ways to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouch types are similar to the basic mag pouches with a few adjustments. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch style gets rid of the flap leaving an open top to put in and remove magazines. This allows for silent access and increased speed while reloading weapons or accessing pouches. These mag pouches can come in single or triple magazine holding setups.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most innovative type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag access a lot easier and reloads faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch makes use of MOLLE connections so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The NcSTAR brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag design use varying kinds of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cords or rubberized stress bands (depending upon manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps safely hold the magazines so you don’t need to think about losing the mag during quick motions, crawling, climbing up things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
NcSTAR MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches are available in similar styles to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which are available in the standard design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines very well with this long lasting Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most commonly seen variations of pistol pouches. Many of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the exact same style. This consists of manufacturers like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are excellent quality, usable, and are replicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combo 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 usually much better than one. This pouch proves this to be correct since it saves you cash from needing to purchase two pouches. For example, the cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all six separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines). Never purchase pouches separately when you can get them grouped.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a mag recovery pouches) make a space for you to place empty magazines and other gear into quickly in the field. These tactical pouches are typically carried on tactical belts in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty mags after reloads, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other tac gear while on the airsoft field. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for added security while moving with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK represents individual first aid kit and consists of the medical gear airsoft players need when they need to patch up a scrape or wound on the field. An emergency treatment kit needs to contain the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, several sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other medical products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make room for holding tools, folded maps, pens, and other field gear. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else usually. Think spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own unique pouch), and other equipment you may need on the airsoft field or tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft teams work with radios and communications equipment in the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and portable radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
