About MOLLE Pouches and Equipment
The Fire Force Item 8609 Drop Leg Platform Narrow Made in USA is a tactical pouch. Most tactical pouches connect with MOLLE straps and hook-and-loop design accessories. MOLLE pouches have just recently ended up being popular in the last few years due to tactical developments and gear efficiency focused products. They are the top option for securing military design pouches to tactical gear, vests, deployment bags, and other kinds of field gear. MOLLE straps provide a unique way for users to select the mounting area and position of the pouch and install them anywhere on equipment where there is a MOLLE attachment panel location. The only constraint becomes which pouches to apply and where to put them.
What is MOLLE?

Types of Fire Force MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
These are usually called ‘standard’ pouches or just ‘mag pouches’ because they are pretty standard in design. The magazines are secured inside the pouch with a top flap for added security that is generally attached with Velcro. In addition to being readily available from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are resilient and one of the most inexpensive ways to hold magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouch types resemble the standard mag pouches with a couple of adjustments. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch style gets rid of the flap leaving an open top to insert and remove magazines. This allows for 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 innovative type of tactical mag pouches. In order to make mag access easier and reloads faster than ever, this design of tactical pouch utilizes MOLLE attachments 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 types of retention to grip the magazines and provide security including bungee cords or rubberized stress bands (depending on manufacturer). Magazines are quickly reloadable by indexing the magazine and providing a hard yank up out of the pouch. While kept in the holder, the tension straps securely hold the magazines so you do not need to worry about losing the mag during fast movements, crawling, climbing over things, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
Fire Force MOLLE Airsoft Gun Handgun Magazine Pouches
Pistol magazine pouches can be found in similar styles to the rifle pouches with basic flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The pistol magazine pouches which are available in the basic design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a few basic pistol pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines effectively with this resilient Velcro flip top style.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most commonly found variations of pistol pouches. A lot of the same companies 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 design of pouch including both a rifle and handgun magazine. Two is generally better than one. This pouch shows this to be true because it saves you money from having to purchase two pouches. The cost of one triple mag kangaroo pouch equates to about a seventy-five percent (75%) cost savings over purchasing all six separately (3x rifle and 3x pistol magazines). Never purchase pouches one at a time when you can get them as a group.
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a mag collection pouches) make a spot for you to discard empty magazines and other things into quickly. These tactical pouches are usually carried on tactical belts 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 magazines after you reload your airsoft gun, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other tactical gear while in the field. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for extra security while moving with a pouch that is full.
Tactical IFAK Medical MOLLE Pouches
Medical pouches are a must have for an airsoft gear loadout. IFAK stands for individual first aid kit and contains the equipment airsoft players need when they need to patch up a scrape or wound on the field. A first aid pack should contain the following items: medical tape or cloth 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 products.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches make a place for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field gear. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which don’t go anywhere else usually. You can carry things like extra airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they do not have their own separate pouch), and other gear you may require on the airsoft field or tactical circumstance.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft units talk on communications and radios equipment in the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE accessories 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.
