About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Fire Force Item 8601 Drop Leg Platform Small Made in USA is a tactical pouch. Most tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design attachments. MOLLE straps provide a flexible method for users to pick the installation place and position of the pouch and mount them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE accessory panel area.
What is MOLLE?
MOLLE stands for Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment and identifies the pouches, panels, and straps which are used in the MOLLE equipment system. Now that we know what MOLLE is and how it works, let’s look at some of the best MOLLE pouches you can add to your airsoft gear beginning with airsoft gun magazine pouches.
Colors of MOLLE Pouches and Camouflage Patterns
MOLLE tactical pouches can be found in all colors and camo patterns. Typical pouch colors include: black, tan, OD green (olive drab), foliage green (sage), ranger green, and grey. Typical pouch camouflage patterns include: woodland, desert, A-TACs, Multicam, ACU (Army Combat Uniform), digital, and others. Take a look at the example swatches below for what they appear like:
About the Fire Force Brand
The Fire Force brand is pretty prominently known among airsoft players. They create fairly good quality airsoft equipment and other gear. If you have concerns about their gear or customer service inquiries, you can find answers on the brand’s site.
Kinds Of Fire Force MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are important to carry on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other kinds of airsoft weapon rifle magazines. These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty standard in style. They are one of the original designs of pouches created to carry extra magazines with you in the field. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is normally attached with Velcro. The flap could feature a plastic side-release buckle depending on pouch design. In addition to being offered from lots of tactical equipment companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and one of the most budget friendly methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are similar to the standard mag pouches with a few alterations. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch design removes the flap leaving an open top to insert and remove magazines.
Open Top MOLLE Magazine Pouches with Retention
Open top magazine pouches with retention systems are the newest and most sophisticated type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag access easier and clip reloads faster than ever, this design of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE connections so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest.
The Fire Force brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag style use differing kinds of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cords or rubberized tension bands (depending on producer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and using a hard tug up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the bungee straps safely hold the magazines so you don’t have to be concerned about losing the mag during quick movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Fire Force MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches can be found in related designs to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention styles of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which come in the basic design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a number of standard handgun pouches which secure airsoft weapon magazines very well with this long lasting Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention pistol pouches are the most typically used versions of pistol pouches. Many of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching handgun magazine pouches in the same style.
Combination Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired style 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%) savings over buying all 6 independently (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a clip retrieval pouches) create a spot for you to discard empty mags and other things into quickly in the field. These tactical pouches are usually carried in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be rapidly unrolled to increase in size and hold empty mags after you reload your gun, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other tac gear while in 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 equipment loadout. IFAK is an acronym for individual first aid kit and consists of the medical gear airsoft players need when they need to patch up a gash or wound 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, antibacterial wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other medical products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create room for holding tools, 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 spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own unique pouch), and other gear you may need on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Lots of airsoft units put to use radios and communications equipment in the field. Operating a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories helps you secure your communications equipment while moving. These little radio pouches will hold most walkie-talkies and radios like the Motorola TALKABOUT T800 models and Baofeng UV-5R VHR radios.
