About MOLLE Pouches and Gear
The Elbeco Bodyshield Navy Small Flashlight Pouch – P4FLSHSM-SPEC is a tactical pouch. A lot of tactical pouches attach with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop style attachments. MOLLE pouches have recently become popular in the last several years due to tactical innovations and gear efficiency focused products. They are the top choice for securing military style pouches to range gear, airsoft vests, deployment bags, and other kinds of military equipment. MOLLE straps offer a flexible method for users to select the mounting area and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on gear where there is a MOLLE attachment panel location. The only restriction ends up being which pouches to manage and where to put them.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE is an acronym meaning Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and describes the pouches, panels, and straps which are used in the MOLLE management system. Here are the three parts of the mounting system: MOLLE straps, panels, and pouches. Mounting tactical pouches is simple and quick. Just thread the straps and snap the buttons to secure them in place. Now that we understand what MOLLE is and how the gear system works, let’s take a look at a few of the most efficient MOLLE pouches you can add to your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft gun magazine pouches.

Types of Elbeco MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘basic’ pouches or simply ‘mag pouches’ since they are quite basic in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is normally fastened with Velcro. In addition to being offered from many tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are long lasting and one of the most inexpensive methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the basic mag pouches with a few differences. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch style 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 latest and most sophisticated kind of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are constructed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine firmly under tension. In order to make mag accessibility easier and magazine swaps faster than ever before, this design of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE attachments so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch elements are usually made from ABS construction.
The Elbeco brand also makes retention mag pouches like the FastMag style use differing kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cords or rubberized stress bands (depending on producer). 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 safely hold the magazines so you don’t need to worry about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Elbeco MOLLE Airsoft Gun Pistol Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches can be found in related styles to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The handgun 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 gun magazines effectively with this durable Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most frequently chosen variations of handgun pouches. A number of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the exact same design. This includes manufacturers like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch styles are excellent quality, functional, and are replicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style of pouch featuring both a rifle and handgun magazine. A pair of magazines are normally much better than one. This pouch shows this to be correct since it saves you money from having to buy two separate pouches. The expense of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equals about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over buying all 6 separately (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines). Never purchase pouches individually when you can get them grouped.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine recovery pouches) create a spot for you to place empty magazines and other gear into rapidly. These tactical pouches are typically held in a rolled up position and secured by a button or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty magazines after reloads, extra airsoft BBs/shells, and other equipment while on the battlefield. Some dump pouches even have drawstring tops for added closure security while moving with a filled pouch.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK means individual first aid kit and includes the medical gear airsoft players require when they have to patch up a scrape or wound on the field. An emergency treatment kit should include the following items: medical tape or fabric tape, Band-Aids or adhesive bandages, Ibuprofen or Aspirin, rolled bandages, several sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, cutting shears, tweezers, and Other medical products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create space for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, and other field items. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else generally. Think of things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own separate pouch), and other equipment you may need on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Lots of airsoft units use radios and communications equipment on the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications equipment while moving.
