Types of 5.11 MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are essential to carry on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other kinds of airsoft gun rifle magazines. These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty basic in style. They are among the initial designs of pouches designed to carry spare magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for included security that is usually attached with Velcro. The flap could feature a plastic side-release buckle depending on pouch design. In addition to being available from many tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are durable and among the most inexpensive ways to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the basic mag pouches with a couple of adjustments. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch design eliminates the flap leaving an open top to insert and take out magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the latest and most innovative type of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it holds the magazine securely under stretchy bungees. In order to make mag access easier and magazine 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 of ABS construction.
The 5.11 brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag design use differing kinds of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized stress bands (depending on manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and giving it a hard pull up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps securely hold the magazines so you do not have to worry about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
5.11 MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches come in similar designs to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which are available in the basic style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of basic handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines very well with this resilient Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most commonly seen versions of handgun pouches. A number of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun 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 styles are outstanding quality, functional, and are reproduced by airsoft pouch companies.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch including both a rifle and handgun magazine. 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 handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) create a spot for you to ditch empty mags and other gear into during gunfights. Some dump pouches also have drawstring closure tops for additional security while on the run with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and consists of the equipment airsoft players require when they have to patch up a scrape or injury on the field. A first aid pack should 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, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create a place for carrying tools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field supplies. These pouches are basic use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else normally. Think extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own special pouch), and other gear you might require on the airsoft field or tactical circumstance.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Many airsoft organizations carry radios and communications equipment in the field. Running a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications equipment while moving.
