Types of North American Rescue MOLLE Pouches
Standard Rifle Magazine Pouches
Rifle magazines are necessary to carry on your gear for holding M4/AR -15, AK-47, and other kinds of airsoft gun 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 styles 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 usually fastened with Velcro. The flap could feature a plastic side-release buckle depending upon pouch style. In addition to being offered from lots of tactical gear companies in the airsoft industry, standard rifle magazine pouches are durable and among the most affordable methods to carry magazines.
Tactical Open Top Magazine Pouches
Open top magazine pouches are comparable to the standard mag pouches with a couple of modifications. As the tactical pouch name implies, this pouch style eliminates 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 latest and most sophisticated type of tactical mag pouches. The retention systems are developed into the magazine pocket so that it carries the magazine securely under tension. In order to make mag access easier and reloads faster than ever before, this style of tactical pouch uses MOLLE attachments so it can be mounted at any angle on a MOLLE tactical vest. The pouch parts are usually made of ABS components.
The North American Rescue brand also makes retention magazine pouches like the FastMag design use varying kinds of retention to grip the magazines and offer security including bungee cables or rubberized tension bands (depending upon maker). 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 firmly hold the magazines so you don’t have to be concerned about losing the mag during fast motions, crawling, climbing, or maneuvers in training or on the airsoft field.
North American Rescue MOLLE Airsoft Weapon Handgun Magazine Pouches
Handgun magazine pouches come in related styles to the rifle pouches with standard flip top, open top, and open top with retention designs of tactical pouches. The handgun magazine pouches which can be found in the standard design have a Velcro flap. Condor makes a couple of standard handgun pouches which secure airsoft gun magazines very well with this long lasting Velcro flip top design.
The open top and open top with retention handgun pouches are the most frequently found variations of handgun pouches. Many of the same manufacturers which make rifle mag pouches make matching pistol magazine pouches in the very same design. This consists of manufacturers like Blue Force Gear, and High Speed Gear. Both of their rifle mag pouch designs are excellent quality, functional, and are duplicated by airsoft pouch companies.
Combo Magazine Tactical Pouches Kangaroo, Stacker, and Hybrid
Kangaroo tactical pouches are a paired design of pouch featuring 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 six individually (3x rifle and 3x handgun magazines).
Tactical Dump Pouches
Dump pouches (a.k.a magazine retrieval pouches) create a spot for you to dump empty magazines and other gear into quickly in the field. These tactical pouches are generally carried on your belt in a rolled up position and secured by a snap or strap. The pouch can be quickly unrolled to expand in size and hold empty mags after you reload your airsoft gun, additional airsoft BBs/shells, and other tac gear while on the field. Some dump pouches also have drawstring tops for extra 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 meaning individual first aid kit and includes the equipment airsoft players need when they have to patch up a cut or injury 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 gauze, a number of sterile gauze pads, antiseptic wipes, folding CPR mask or breath barrier, non-latex gloves, trauma shears, tweezers, and Other items.
MOLLE Admin Pouches
Admin pouches create a place for carrying a Leatherman, folded maps, pens, compasses, and other field items. These pouches are general use pouches for odds and ends which do not go anywhere else generally. You can carry things like spare airsoft BB bags, red dead rags, multitools (if they don’t have their own unique pouch), and other gear you might need on the airsoft field or tactical situation.
Tactical Radio Pouches with MOLLE Accessories
Many airsoft units talk on communications and radios devices in the field. Using a radio pouch with MOLLE attachments helps you secure your communications equipment while moving.
