Kinds Of 5.11 MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are important to have on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other types of airsoft gun rifle magazines. These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ since they are pretty standard in design. They are one of the original styles of pouches designed to carry spare magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is generally secured with Velcro. The flap might feature a plastic side-release buckle depending upon 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 economical methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the basic mag pouches with a couple of modifications. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch design removes 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 newest and most sophisticated kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are built into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine securely under tension. In order to make mag accessibility simpler and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch uses MOLLE accessories so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch components are normally made from ABS construction.
The 5.11 brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag style use varying types of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cables or rubberized bungee bands (depending on maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps firmly hold the magazines so you don’t need to be concerned about losing the mag during fast motions, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
5.11 MOLLE Airsoft Gun Pistol Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches are available in related styles to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which are available in the standard style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes several standard handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines very well with this long lasting Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most typically used variations of pistol pouches. Many of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the same design.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch featuring both a rifle and handgun 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 magazine recovery pouches) make a space for you to dump empty magazines and other gear into quickly in the field. These tactical pouches are usually carried on your belt in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty mags after reloads, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other equipment while on the airsoft field. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for added security while moving with a full pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK means individual first aid kit and includes the medical gear airsoft players require when they need to patch up a gash or injury on the field. A first aid kit must include the following items: medical tape or cloth tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, a number of sterile gauze pads, antiseptic 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 holding multitools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field supplies. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else normally. Think extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own special pouch), and other gear you may need on the airsoft field or tactical scenario.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft organizations manage communications and radios equipment on the field. Adopting a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving.
