About Tactical Vests
The Bob-Allen Shooting Vest, Right Handed, Sage, 4X by Bob-Allen works well for airsoft. Airsoft vests, plate carriers, and tactical loadout equipment are often used for carrying gear on the airsoft field. These vests and carriers make it simple for team players to keep control of their gear and easily get around the battlefield while having the right gear they require to win more games. They also have a tacticool operator status appeal to them and protect player’s bodies from incoming airsoft BBs.
Airsoft tactical vests normally have many pockets, pouches, and MOLLE accessory panels. Some frequently found things in a basic airsoft tactical vest loadout include the following: Spare airsoft gun magazines, sidearms like shotguns or pistols, extra airsoft BBs, red rags, snacks, drinking water , radios, gun cleaning sets, and Leathermans.
Bob-Allen Vest Protection Levels
Tactical airsoft vests like the Bob-Allen Shooting Vest, Right Handed, Sage, 4X provide a couple of layers of extra fabric to assist in cushioning the force of inbound airsoft BBs. Some vests have more than others and some vests feature plastic armor plates or ABS plastic scales. These airsoft vests have additional cushioning and torso safety, but nearly every vest will offer some shielding from inbound airsoft BBs.
One challenge faced by wearing thick vests with rows of magazine pouches and a lot of gear attached to them is that team players can not feel their hits very well. In these cases, participants should listen for their hits and call themselves out if their vest or equipment is hit by incoming airsoft BBs. Team players must follow the airsoft field or game guidelines.
Kinds of Bob-Allen Airsoft Vests
There are several distinct types of vests and load-bearing equipment worn in airsoft. As a classification, an airsoft vest is a basic term used to characterize anything game players tactically use on the upper half of their bodies and holds airsoft equipment.
The airsoft vest types consist of pre-made tactical airsoft vests, tactical MOLLE vest platforms, airsoft plate carriers and armor holders, modular chest rigs and tactical half vests, and tactical load-bearing vests (LBV). The Bob-Allen Bob-Allen Shooting Vest, Right Handed, Sage, 4X falls into one of these categories. Learn about the types below.
Pre-Made Tactical Airsoft Vests
Pre-made airsoft vests are among the most basic types of airsoft vests. These vests come ready-to-play out of the box and are some of the cheaper vests readily available while still maintaining good quality and sturdiness. Numerous brand names manufacture pre-made vests including Condor with their Elite Tactical Vest, BLACKHAWK! with their Omega Tactical Vest, and Classic Army with their Tactical Cross Draw Vest. If you are playing airsoft on a budget, pre-made tactical airsoft vests are a great choice.
These vests are immediately functional and come with sewn in magazine pouches, pouches which hold airsoft BBs, and other pockets. With pre-made vests, team players can typically attach a U.S. GI military web belt to the bottom of the vest.
Sturdiness of Pre-Made Vests
Given that these airsoft vests are factory built, they are well made with strong stitching and will generally last for a long time. We’ve seen a few of these vests used for so long the colors begin to fade, however they still serve their equipment bearing purpose. Lots of airsoft players start out with a version of these vests, sell it later, and upgrade to a more custom vest system.
Pre-Made Vest Models and Types
Look for the ideal type of pre-made vest you want. Some have built-in magazine pouches for AR-15/ M4 magazines while others have AK-47 magazine sizing. Make sure the vest you are buying will work for holding your specific airsoft gun type magazines. Various styles of pre-made airsoft vests are also available. They include the following. Magazine carrier vest setups which include 6x AK-47 to 12x M4 magazine slots (depending on size of magazine inserted). Cross-draw handgun holster combinations with a 3x or 6x magazine pouch on the opposite side. Rifle shotgun tactical vest pouch setups with shotgun shell loops inside pouches. EOD vests (explosives ordnance detection) with numerous admin pouches. Grenadier vests with a lot of grenade pockets for M203 shells.
Airsoft MOLLE Tactical Vests
A more advanced and adjustable airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest style. These modular vests permit each pouch to be shifted and placed individually based upon the particular setup airsoft players and tactical operators require. The MOLLE webbing employs a hook and loop strap system which enables gun magazine pouches, radio pouches, medical IAK pouches, utility pouches, and weapon holsters to be installed anywhere on the vest where the MOLLE panels are located. The resulting hundreds of different combinations, positions, and orientations enable tactical operators to choose the customized MOLLE pouch set up for the particular function they are playing (like breacher, grenadier, SAW gunner, etc) or objective they are running.
The personalized appearance and feel of MOLLE airsoft vests are great. The tactical vest platform and pouches are usually sold individually or in sets which makes them more costly than pre-made airsoft vests.
Airsoft Versus Real World MOLLE Equipment
When searching for MOLLE vests, bear in mind airsoft businesses make replicas of real world tactical vests. These airsoft knock-off pouches and vests run a fraction of the selling prices of the genuine equipment used by armed forces, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other unique ops units.
How MOLLE Accessories Work
The three parts of the system are MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels which are put together to produce the MOLLE airsoft loadout. MOLLE panels are the base seen on airsoft vests. The MOLLE pouches have a MOLLE loop panel on the back of the pouch which permits straps to be securely connected to MOLLE panel loops.
Putting Your Kit Together
The entire MOLLE system comes together as operators select the pouches they require for an airsoft vest loadout or mission, weave the MOLLE straps through the loops on the pouches and vest panels, and secure the snaps on the straps to keep the pouches in place. The end result is an extremely customized airsoft vest with the look of operator status.
Airsoft Tactical Vest Plate Carriers
Airsoft tactical vest plate carriers resemble standard MOLLE vests and lots of these vests also have plate carrier compartments and elements. This makes it easy to use and change MOLLE pouches in between vest plate carriers and standard MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold real or reproduction ballistic level III3A plates or ceramic SAPI plates. Airsoft players employ these plate carrier vests for an added coolness factor and can even run realistic or replica ballistic plates and panels to mimic a functional loadout or battle loadout.
Airsoft Modular Chest Rigs and Slicks
They look like plate carrier vests and similarly have MOLLE panels on the front and back for MOLLE pouches. These tactical vests are separate from MOLLE vests because they are more low-profile and can be worn over or under other clothing like jackets, uniforms, vests, and large clothing reasonably quickly. These kinds of airsoft vests are less helpful for holding equipment given that they do not have pouches.
Tactical Half Vests and Gunfighter Harnesses
Airsoft half vests or gunfighter vests fall under this classification. Half vests are half of a vest with a row of internal pouches in the front. They are handy to use for airsoft and can be worn efficiently in the course of a gun battle hence the name. They typically have capacities for 6 M4 magazines in the front (or comparably sized weapon magazines) with MOLLE or taco pouches in the front for handgun magazines, admin pouches, medical equipment, and other add-on pouches. The harness is held in position by a set of shoulder straps and the back of the vest is open. This kind of airsoft vest can even be used over top of other kinds of equipment and vests.
Tactical Load-Bearing Vests (LBVs)
Tactical load-bearing vests are a few of the most standard vests to run for airsoft. These vest designs were used throughout conflicts like Vietnam and Desert Storm. They hold a place in military history and now are put into action on lots of airsoft battlefields. These airsoft tactical vests include 6 integrated M4 magazine pouches with 2 grenade pouches. If required, they have loops to hook up a U.S. G.I. web belt where airsoft game players can feature more pouches and ammo dump bags. The back of the vest has connections for a buttpack. The vest straps for the shoulders and sides adapt to littler and bigger-sized airsoft team players that make this vest really flexible.
