About Tactical Vests
The 2 X USMC Tactical FLC Vest, Fighting Load Carrier w/ Zipper, Coyote Brown, MOLLE II by U.S.G.I. works well for airsoft. Airsoft vests, plate carriers, and tactical loadout equipment are standard for holding gear on the airsoft field. These carriers and vests make it easy for participants to maintain control of their equipment and easily walk around the battlefield while having the right gear they may need to win more missions. They also have a tacticool operator status appearance to them and safeguard participant’s bodies from inbound airsoft BBs.
Airsoft tactical vests generally have numerous pockets, pouches, and MOLLE attachment panels. This is a balancing act because it is a mix of carrying what you require in the field but not too much. Stop yourself from carrying so much gear that it weighs you down or keeps you from running easily throughout the airsoft field. Some frequently found things in a basic airsoft tactical vest loadout include the following: Extra airsoft gun magazines, sidearms like shotguns or pistols, extra airsoft BBs, red rags, food, water , comms, weapon service gear, and knives.
U.S.G.I. Vest Protection Levels
Tactical airsoft vests like the 2 X USMC Tactical FLC Vest, Fighting Load Carrier w/ Zipper, Coyote Brown, MOLLE II provide a few layers of additional fabric to help cushion the impact of incoming airsoft BBs. Some vests have more than others and some vests feature tough armor plates or ABS plastic scales. These airsoft vests have additional padding and shielding, however almost every vest will offer some defense from incoming airsoft BBs.
One challenge encountered by donning thick vests with rows of magazine pouches and a great deal of gear connected to them is that team players can not feel their hits effectively. In these cases, players need to listen for their hits and call themselves out if their vest or equipment is hit by inbound airsoft BBs. Team players must follow the airsoft field or tournament rules.
Kinds of U.S.G.I. 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 identify anything players tactically don 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 U.S.G.I. 2 X USMC Tactical FLC Vest, Fighting Load Carrier w/ Zipper, Coyote Brown, MOLLE II falls into one of these categories. Learn about the types below.
Pre-Made Tactical Airsoft Vests
Pre-made airsoft vests are one of one of the most basic forms of airsoft vests. These vests come ready-to-play out of package and are a few of the cheaper vests offered while still keeping good quality and toughness. Lots of airsoft companies 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. Pre-made tactical airsoft vests are a great choice if you are playing airsoft on a spending plan.
These vests are immediately usable and come with sewn in magazine pouches, pouches which hold airsoft BBs, and other pockets. With pre-made vests, team players can often connect a U.S. GI military web belt to the bottom of the vest.
Durability of Pre-Made Vests
Because these airsoft vests are factory built, they are well made with durable stitching and will normally last for a very long time. We have seen a few of these vests used for so long the colors begin to fade, however they still serve their equipment bearing function. Lots of airsoft game players start playing with a version of these vests, resell it later on, and upgrade to a more customized vest choice.
Pre-Made Vest Models and Types
Look for the ideal kind of pre-made vest you want. Some have integrated magazine pouches for AR-15/ M4 magazines while others have AK-47 magazine sizing. Make sure the vest you are purchasing will work for holding your specific airsoft weapon type magazines. Various styles of pre-made airsoft vests are also offered. They feature the following. Magazine carrier vest setups which feature 6x AK-47 to 12x M4 magazine slots (depending upon size of magazine inserted). Cross-draw pistol 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 lots of admin pouches. Grenadier vests with many grenade pockets for M203 shells.
Airsoft MOLLE Tactical Vests
A more adjustable and innovative airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest style. These modular vests enable each pouch to be moved and placed independently based on 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, communications pouches, and weapon holsters to be installed anywhere on the vest where the MOLLE panels are located. The resulting hundreds of different combos, positions, and orientations mean tactical operators to choose the customized MOLLE pouch set up for the specific role they are playing (like breacher, grenadier, SAW gunner, etc) or objective they are running.
The personalized look of MOLLE airsoft vests are pretty awesome. However, the tactical vest platform and pouches are typically offered individually or in kits that makes them more highly-priced than pre-made airsoft vests. A basic MOLLE vest can be pricey with the pouches costs increasing the costs. A totally filled MOLLE tactical loadout can cost hundreds of dollars depending upon the number of pouches and different types of MOLLE pouches are acquired. See if you can select MOLLE pouch sets to get your loadout set up if you have already decided to go the MOLLE vest route.
Airsoft Versus Real World MOLLE Equipment
When shopping for MOLLE vests, remember airsoft companies make replicas of real world tactical vests. These airsoft knock-off vests and pouches run a fraction of the prices of the genuine equipment used by armed forces, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other special ops teams.
How MOLLE Attachments Work
The three parts of the system are MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels which are put together to create the MOLLE airsoft loadout. MOLLE panels are the base found on airsoft vests. The MOLLE pouches have a MOLLE loop panel on the back of the pouch which enables 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 need for an airsoft vest loadout or tournament, 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 outcome is an incredibly personalized airsoft vest with the look of operator status.
Airsoft Tactical Vest Plate Carriers
Airsoft tactical vest plate carriers resemble basic MOLLE vests and many of these vests also have plate carrier compartments and capabilities. This makes it simple to use and change MOLLE pouches between vest plate carriers and basic MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold authentic or reproduction ballistic level III3A plates or ceramic plates. Airsoft game players use these plate carrier vests for an included coolness element and can even run realistic or replica ballistic plates and panels to simulate a functional loadout or war loadout.
Airsoft Modular Chest Rigs and Slicks
Tactical modular chest rig vests usually only have front and back panels that can hold body armor plates. They resemble plate carrier vests and similarly have MOLLE panels on the front and back for MOLLE pouches. These tactical vests are varied from MOLLE vests considering that they are more low-profile and can be employed over or under other clothes like jackets, uniforms, vests, and large apparel relatively easily. The side straps on modular chest rigs also adjust more than basic plate carrier vests. Slicks are basically modular chest rig vests however without the MOLLE attachments that makes them smooth or slick. These type of airsoft vests are less beneficial for carrying equipment because they do not have pouches. They are typically chosen for props as civilian role players or tactical kit builds for a specific time imitating a famous military unit that used them like the Navy Seals.
Tactical Half Vests and Gunfighter Harnesses
Airsoft half vests or gunfighter vests fall under this category. Half vests are half of a vest with a row of internal pouches in the front. They are handy to use and can be worn easily in the course of an all-out fight hence the namesake. They generally have capacities for 6 M4 magazines in the front (or similarly 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 also be worn over top of other types of equipment and vests.
Tactical Load-Bearing Vests (LBVs)
Tactical load-bearing vests are a few of the most standard vests to employ for airsoft. These vest styles were employed throughout conflicts like Vietnam and Desert Storm. They hold a place in military history and now are adopted on tons of airsoft battlefields. These airsoft tactical vests feature 6 integrated M4 mag pouches with 2 smaller grenade pouches. They have loops to link a U.S. G.I. web belt where airsoft participants can include more pouches and ammo dump bags if required. The back of the vest has connections for a buttpack. The vest straps for the sides and shoulders adapt to littler and big-sized airsoft game players that make this vest really versatile.
