About Tactical Vests
The Bob-Allen Shooting Vest, Right Handed, Red, X-Large by Bob-Allen works well for airsoft. Airsoft vests, plate carriers, and tactical loadout equipment are standard for carrying equipment on the airsoft field. These carriers and vests make it easy for airsoft players to maintain control of their gear and easily get around the battlefield while having everything they require to win more missions. They also have a tacticool operator status look to them and shield game player’s bodies from incoming airsoft BBs.
Airsoft tactical vests usually have lots of pockets, pouches, and MOLLE accessory panels. This is a balancing act because it is a mix of carrying what you require in the field but not too much. Stay away from carrying so much gear that it weighs you down or prevents you from running easily throughout the airsoft field. Some typically identified things in a basic airsoft tactical vest loadout include the following: Spare airsoft gun magazines, sidearms like shotguns or handguns, additional airsoft BBs, red rags, powerbars, water for hydration , comms, weapon cleaning items, and knives.
Bob-Allen Vest Protection Levels
Tactical airsoft vests like the Bob-Allen Shooting Vest, Right Handed, Red, X-Large provide a couple of layers of extra material to aid in cushioning the effect of incoming airsoft BBs. Some vests have more than others and some vests include hardened armor plates or ABS plastic scales. These airsoft vests have extra cushioning and torso safety, but nearly every vest will use some shielding from incoming airsoft BBs.
One challenge faced by donning thick vests with rows of magazine pouches and a great deal of equipment attached to them is that players can not feel their hits well. In these cases, game players need to listen for their hits and call themselves out if their vest or gear is hit by inbound airsoft BBs. Team players should follow the airsoft field or game rules.
Kinds of Bob-Allen Airsoft Vests
There are a number of different kinds of vests and load-bearing equipment used in airsoft. As a meaning, an airsoft vest is a basic term used to represent anything participants tactically wear on the upper half of their bodies and holds airsoft equipment. Keep in mind there are particular styles of airsoft vests and they are comparable but distinct. Each vest offers separate benefits and downsides depending on what airsoft game players require or are specifically trying to find in their gear setups.
The airsoft vest types include 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 Bob-Allen Bob-Allen Shooting Vest, Right Handed, Red, X-Large falls into one of these categories. Learn about the types below.
Pre-Made Tactical Airsoft Vests
Pre-made airsoft vests are one of the most basic types of airsoft vests. These vests come ready-to-play out of the box and are also some of the cheaper vests readily available while still maintaining great quality and resilience.
These vests are instantly functional and come with sewn in magazine pouches, pouches which hold airsoft BBs, and other pockets. With pre-made vests, participants can often attach a U.S. GI military web belt to the bottom of the vest.
Toughness of Pre-Made Vests
Given that these airsoft vests are factory constructed, they are well made with strong 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, but they still serve their gear bearing function. Many airsoft players start out with one of these vests, sell it in the future, and upgrade to a more custom-made vest solution.
Pre-Made Vest Models and Types
Search for the ideal type of pre-made vest you want. Some have built-in magazine pouches for AR-15/ M4 magazines while others have AK-47 magazine sizing. Ensure the vest you are purchasing will work for holding your particular airsoft gun type magazines. Different designs 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 handgun holster combos 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 numerous admin pouches. Grenadier vests with numerous grenade pockets for M203 shells.
Airsoft MOLLE Tactical Vests
A more innovative and personalized airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest design. These modular vests permit each pouch to be transferred and placed individually based upon the desired setup airsoft team players and tactical operators require. The MOLLE webbing uses 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 found. The resulting hundreds of different combos, positions, and orientations enable tactical operators to choose the personalized MOLLE pouch set up for the specific function they are playing (like breacher, grenadier, SAW gunner, etc) or objective they are running.
The customized feel and look of MOLLE airsoft vests are awesome. Nevertheless, the tactical vest platform and pouches are generally offered for sale on their own or in packages which makes them more expensive than pre-made airsoft vests. A basic MOLLE vest can be costly with the pouches costs increasing the bill. A fully filled MOLLE tactical loadout can cost hundreds of dollars depending upon how many pouches and different kinds of MOLLE pouches are bought. See if you can pick MOLLE pouch sets to get your loadout set up if you have indeed opted to go the MOLLE vest route.
Airsoft Versus Real World MOLLE Gear
When looking for MOLLE vests, bear in mind airsoft companies make replicas of real world tactical vests. These airsoft knock-off pouches and vests run a fraction of the costs of the genuine equipment employed by armed forces, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other special ops units.
How MOLLE Attachments Work
The MOLLE system is an acronym meaning Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment. This tactical equipment system explains pouches, panels, and straps which employ MOLLE attachments. The tri-factor parts of the system are MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels which are created to develop the MOLLE airsoft loadout. MOLLE panels are the base located on airsoft vests. They feature a series of loops that are woven and snapped to secure pouches to the best with straps. The MOLLE straps are typically made from nylon with a button snap and are threaded through the MOLLE panel loops and the similarly designed loops on pouches. The MOLLE pouches have a MOLLE loop panel on the back of the pouch which makes it possible for the straps to be solidly hooked through to MOLLE panel loops.
Putting Your Kit Together
The entire MOLLE system comes together as operators choose the pouches they require for an airsoft vest loadout or objective, 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 result is a very personalized airsoft vest with the feel and look of operator status.
Airsoft Tactical Vest Plate Carriers
Airsoft tactical vest plate carriers look like standard MOLLE vests and numerous MOLLE vests also have plate carrier compartments and capabilities. This makes it easy to change and apply MOLLE pouches between vest plate carriers and basic MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold genuine or reproduction ballistic level III3A plates or rifle plates. Special operations teams in the military and law enforcement SWAT teams will frequently run these type of tactical plate carriers for added shielding when confronting the possibility of actual incoming bullets. Airsoft participants run these plate carrier vests for an included coolness factor and can even run genuine or imitation ballistic plates and panels to imitate a practical loadout or battle loadout. IDEA: Do not select realistic rifle ballistic plates in your airsoft plate carrier vest unless you desire a training session! These plates can weigh over +20 pounds!
Airsoft Modular Chest Rigs and Slicks
They resemble plate carrier vests and likewise have MOLLE panels on the front and back for MOLLE pouches. These tactical vests are different from MOLLE vests since they are more low-profile and can be used over or under other clothes like jackets, uniforms, vests, and bulky garments relatively quickly. These kinds of airsoft vests are less helpful for carrying equipment given that they do not have pouches.
Tactical Half Vests and Gunfighter Harnesses
Airsoft half vests or gunfighter vests fall into this classification. Half vests are half of a vest with a row of internal pouches in the front. This type 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 conventional vests to employ for airsoft. These airsoft tactical vests feature 6 integrated M4 mag pouches with 2 grenade pouches. The vest straps for the sides and shoulders adjust to small and large-sized airsoft participants which make this vest truly versatile.
