About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The 5ive Star Gear TOT-5S Triple OT M4 M16 Magazine Pouch is a tactical pouch. A lot of tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design attachments. MOLLE pouches have just recently become popular in the last several years due to tactical innovations and inventions. They are the top choice for securing military style pouches to tactical gear, tactical vests, range bags, and other types of military equipment. MOLLE straps offer a unique way for users to choose the mounting location and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE attachment panel location. The only constraint becomes which pouches to manage and where to place them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and defines the pouches, panels, and straps which are adopted in the MOLLE gear system.

Kinds Of 5ive Star Gear MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ due to the fact that they are quite standard in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is usually attached with Velcro. In addition to being offered from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, basic rifle magazine pouches are resilient and one of the most cost effective methods to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouch types resemble the standard mag pouches with a few modifications. As the tactical pouch name suggests, this pouch style eliminates the flap leaving an open top to put in and remove magazines. This allows quiet access and increased speed while accessing or refilling gun gear. These mag pouches can be available in single or triple magazine holding setups.
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 built into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine firmly under stretchy bungees. In order to make mag access easier and magazine swaps 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 usually made of ABS materials.
The 5ive Star Gear brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag style use differing types of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized stress bands (depending on maker). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the stress straps safely hold the magazines so you do not have to think about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
5ive Star Gear MOLLE Airsoft Gun 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 can be found in the standard style have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of standard handgun pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines effectively with this resilient Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most commonly used versions of pistol pouches. A lot of the same companies which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the exact same design.
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 buying all six individually (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a mag collection pouches) make a space for you to throw empty mags and other gear into quickly during firefights. These tactical pouches are generally held 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, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other tactical gear while on the battlefield. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch full of empty rifle mags.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft equipment loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and contains the medical gear airsoft players need when they have to patch up a cut or injury on the field. A first aid kit needs to contain the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled gauze, several sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create space for carrying tools, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field supplies. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else generally. Think spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own specific pouch), and other gear you might require on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Attachments
Lots of airsoft units carry radios and communications equipment on the field. Applying 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 series and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
