Lock and Load - Magazine pouches in the Weekend Warrior Shop

Magazine pouches for paintball, the paints are in the hopper, aren't they? Certainly, as more and more weekend warriors are turning their backs on the hopper and dedicating themselves to Woodland and Magfed gameplay. Matching magazine pouches for the magazines carried are mandatory here, with the quality and design having a significant impact on the gameplay. Whether it's an additional pouch for your leg holster or a triple magazine pouch for your plate carrier - you'll find what you're looking for in the Weekend Warrior Shop.

When and how are magazine pouches used?

The realism of battles between dozens of weekend warriors plays a key role in Woodland and Magfed gameplay. The use of magazines is the key here, because they don't hold several hundred, but a maximum of a few dozen balls. This makes the game much more tactical and considered. Magazine pockets are essential here to ensure you always have enough paintball on your man (or woman).

Thanks to the numerous attachment options and pack options, you can easily attach the bags to vests, chest rigs, plate carriers, backpacks and even suitable leg plates. But bags for magazines are also indispensable in airsoft sports. And best of all: Thanks to largely standardized magazine dimensions and often stretchy material, you can usually use your mag pouches for both sports and thus save money. Universal pouches such as the Cytac Universal Pistol Magazine Pouch, which is compatible with up to 60 markers from different brands, are particularly practical.

Which magazine pouch goes with which mission?

Which bag is ideal for you depends entirely on what you're up to and what gear you're playing. The size of the pouches is particularly important. While narrow pouches such as the TT SGL Pistol Mag MKII magazine pouch are only suitable for pistol magazines, wider pouches such as our Molle magazine pouch set of 3 7.62 are designed for assault rifle magazines.

Whether you get single pouches or combinations of two or three pouches depends on how many pouches you need and what gear you want to attach them to. Do you want to take as many balls onto the field as possible? Then double pouches for two magazines like the Molle magazine pouch Universal Double are exactly your thing.

What makes high-quality magazine pouches?

High-quality magazine pouches offer your magazines a secure hold. In the case of magazine pouches that are designed for special magazines, this is often ensured by a latching mechanism. Models such as the Molle magazine pouch Fast Mag 5.56 enable quick and ergonomic pulling and stowing. Alternatively, there should be a reliable attachment mechanism for magazines. An elastic band that is easy to use with gloves and secures the magazines is ideal.

The topic of robustness also plays a significant role, because elastic bands and other fasteners are used hundreds of times over the course of their lives. An adjustment option for the elastic band is particularly important to prevent it from wearing out. The sewing of the fastening loops must also be robust so that they hold securely on the gear even under high mechanical loads.

What do you need to consider when buying magazine pouches?

When buying magazine pouches, make sure that they are compatible with your marker's magazines. Nothing is more annoying than magazines that are too loose or don't even fit in the mag pouch.Our paintball experts will also be happy to advise you on suitable magazine pouches for your long and short markers - just give us a call or send us your questions by e-mail!
