About Tactical Vests
The Maddog Tactical Attack Vest w/Pods & Standard Remote Coil Paintball Package by Maddog works well for airsoft. Airsoft vests, plate carriers, and tactical loadout equipment are standard for holding equipment on the airsoft field. These carriers and vests make it easy for participants to keep control of their equipment and easily move around the battlefield while having all the things they may need to win more scenarios. They also have a tacticool operator status appeal to them and shield participant’s bodies from inbound airsoft BBs.
Airsoft tactical vests generally have many pockets, pouches, and MOLLE accessory panels. Some frequently selected items in a standard airsoft tactical vest loadout include the following: Spare airsoft weapon magazines, sidearms like shotguns or pistols, additional airsoft BBs, red rags, food, water , radios, weapon maintenance sets, and Leathermans.
Maddog Vest Protection Levels
Tactical airsoft vests like the Maddog Tactical Attack Vest w/Pods & Standard Remote Coil Paintball Package provide a couple of layers of additional fabric to help cushion the impact of incoming airsoft BBs. Some vests have more than others and some vests feature plastic armor plates or ABS plastic scales. These airsoft vests have extra padding and protection, but nearly every vest will offer some defense from incoming airsoft BBs.
One challenge experienced by playing with thick vests with rows of magazine pouches and a great deal of gear affixed to them is that participants can not feel their hits effectively. In these cases, players need to listen for their hits and call themselves out if their vest or gear is struck by inbound airsoft BBs. Game players must follow the airsoft field or game rules.
Kinds of Maddog Airsoft Vests
There are a number of distinct types of vests and load-bearing equipment worn by players in airsoft. As a definition, an airsoft vest is a general term used to refer to anything team players tactically don on the upper half of their bodies and holds airsoft gear.
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 Maddog Maddog Tactical Attack Vest w/Pods & Standard Remote Coil Paintball Package falls into one of these categories. Learn about the types below.
Pre-Made Tactical Airsoft Vests
Pre-made airsoft vests are one of one of the most basic kinds of airsoft vests. These vests come ready-to-play out of the box and are also some of the less expensive vests readily available while still maintaining great quality and sturdiness.
These vests are immediately usable and include sewn in magazine pouches, pouches which hold airsoft BBs, and other pockets. The magazine pouches are specific to the vest designs and generally can be found in M4 or AK47 styles. With pre-made vests, team players can often connect a U.S. GI military web belt to the bottom of the vest. Here they can include things like dump pouches, drop leg holsters, and other belt pouches and add-ons. The airsoft vest back has MOLLE loop accessories for a CamelBak or other things like LED light sticks or a shotgun scabbard.
Sturdiness of Pre-Made Vests
Since these airsoft vests are factory built, they are very well made with strong stitching and will typically last for a long period of time. We’ve seen a few of these vests used for so long the colors begin to fade, however they still serve their equipment carrying function. Many airsoft players start playing with one of these vests, resell it later, and upgrade to a more custom vest solution.
Pre-Made Vest Models and Types
Make sure the vest you are buying will work for holding your particular airsoft gun type magazines. Different designs of pre-made airsoft vests are also available. Rifle shotgun tactical vest pouch setups with shotgun shell loops inside pouches.
Airsoft MOLLE Tactical Vests
A more sophisticated and customizable airsoft vest is the tactical MOLLE airsoft vest design. These modular vests allow each pouch to be transferred and positioned individually based on the desired setup airsoft team players and tactical operators need. The MOLLE webbing uses a hook and loop strap system which enables gun magazine pouches, radio pouches, medical IAK pouches, utility pouches, and weapon holsters to be mounted anywhere on the vest where the MOLLE panels are located. The resulting numerous different mixes, positions, and orientations empower tactical operators to choose the customized MOLLE pouch set up for the specific function they are playing (like breacher, grenadier, SAW gunner, etc) or mission they are running.
The customized style and feel of MOLLE airsoft vests are excellent. The tactical vest platform and pouches are typically sold individually or in packages which makes them more expensive than pre-made airsoft vests.
Airsoft Versus Military MOLLE Gear
When searching for MOLLE vests, keep in mind airsoft companies make replicas of real world tactical vests. These airsoft knock-off vests and pouches run a fraction of the prices of the genuine equipment employed by militaries, Special Forces (like Rangers, Naval Special Warfare Development ‘Dev Group’, and MARSOC) and other unique ops units.
How MOLLE Accessories Work
The MOLLE system is an acronym that means Modular Lightweight Load-Carrying Equipment. This tactical equipment system describes pouches, panels, and straps which employ MOLLE attachments. The three parts of the system are MOLLE pouches, straps, and panels which are created to produce the MOLLE airsoft loadout. MOLLE panels are the base found on airsoft vests. They include a series of loops that are used to secure pouches to the best with straps. The MOLLE straps are generally made from nylon with a snap and are threaded through the MOLLE panel loops and the similarly found 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 firmly attached to MOLLE panel loops.
Putting Your Kit Together
The whole MOLLE system comes together as operators pick the pouches they require for an airsoft vest loadout or tournament, weave the MOLLE straps through the loops on the pouches and vest panels, and affix the snaps on the straps to keep the pouches in place. The outcome is an extremely personalized airsoft vest with the feel and look of operator status.
Airsoft Tactical Vest Plate Carriers
Airsoft tactical vest plate carriers resemble standard MOLLE vests and many of these vests also have plate carrier compartments and features. This makes it practical to switch and employ MOLLE pouches between vest plate carriers and basic MOLLE vests These tactical vests have internal pouches to hold real or replica ballistic level III3A plates or ceramic ballistic plates. Airsoft participants use these plate carrier vests for an increased coolness aspect and can even run authentic or simulation ballistic plates and panels to imitate an operational loadout or go-to-war loadout.
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 separate from MOLLE vests because they are more low-profile and can be employed over or under other clothing like coats, uniforms, vests, and large garments relatively easily. These kinds of airsoft vests are less useful for holding gear because they do not have pouches.
Tactical Half Vests and Gunfighter Harnesses
Airsoft half vests or gunfighter vests fall under this vest category. Half vests are half of a tactical vest with a row of internal pouches in the front. They are handy to use and can be put on easily in the course of a gun fight hence the name. They usually have capacities for 6 M4 magazines in the front (or equivalently sized weapon magazines) with MOLLE or taco pouches in the front for handgun magazines, utility pouches, medical equipment, and other add-on pouches. The harness is held in position by a pair of shoulder straps and the back of the vest is open. This kind of airsoft vest can also be worn over top of other kinds 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 vest designs were employed throughout conflicts like Vietnam and Desert Storm. They hold a place in military history and now are used on loads of airsoft playing fields. These airsoft tactical vests include 6 integrated M4 magazine pouches with 2 grenade pouches. They have loops to link a U.S. G.I. web belt where airsoft game players can feature more pouches and ammo dump bags if needed. The back of the vest has connections for a buttpack. The vest straps for the sides and shoulders adjust to littler and larger-sized airsoft players that make this vest truly versatile.
