About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The 5.11 Tactical Flex Lightweight Drop Pouch, Style # 56430, Black is a tactical pouch. Many tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design attachments. MOLLE straps provide a flexible method for users to select the mounting location and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE accessory panel area.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and describes the pouches, panels, and straps which are put to use in the MOLLE equipment system. Here are the three parts of the mounting system: MOLLE straps, pouches, and panels. Mounting tactical pouches is fast and easy. Just thread the straps and snap the buttons to set them in place. Now that we know what MOLLE is and how the attachment system works, let’s check out a few of the most functional MOLLE pouches you can add to your airsoft equipment starting with airsoft gun mag pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches come in many different colors and camo patterns.
About the 5.11 Brand
The 5.11 brand is quite highly-rated as a quality gear manufacturer. They produce decent quality airsoft pouches and other gear. If you have concerns about their gear or troubleshooting inquiries, you can find more information on the brand’s website.
Types of 5.11 MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ due to the fact that they are quite basic in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is usually fastened with Velcro. In addition to being offered from many tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most cost effective methods to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the standard mag pouches with a couple of modifications. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to place and take out magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most advanced 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 accessibility easier and reloads faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch uses MOLLE accessories so it can be installed at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are usually made from ABS components.
The 5.11 brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag design use differing kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cables or rubberized stress bands (depending upon producer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the bungee straps securely hold the magazines so you don’t need to worry about losing the mag during quick motions, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
5.11 MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches come in similar designs to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which come in the standard design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines very well with this durable Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most commonly seen versions of handgun pouches. A lot of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the exact same design. This consists of companies like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are excellent quality, functional, and are replicated 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 pistol magazine. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all 6 separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a mag retrieval pouches) create a space for you to throw empty magazines and other gear into rapidly. These tactical pouches are generally held in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty mags after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other equipment while in the airsoft field. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for extra closure security while moving with a pouch that is full.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and consists of the equipment airsoft players need when they need to patch up a cut or injury on the field. A first aid pack needs to contain the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, several sterile gauze pads, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make a place for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field supplies. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else usually. Think of things like spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own specific pouch), and other equipment you might require on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft units talk on communications and radios devices on the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and family band radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
