I am strict with my criteria for an airsoft loadout: light, simple, and cheap. I live in the city and sometimes carrying all of these tactical gear going to an airsoft game sometimes turn people's heads whether you are a soldier reporting to your nearest unit location, or you might just look like someone who is up to no good. Especially in crowded, terrorist hit cities, looking out of the ordinary won't help me go to a game.

Even my bag doesn't look tactical, in civilian clothing, I lug a travel bag... you know the stuff that you bring the rail station or the airport that every tourist carry? Yep, that's the one, it comes with rollers too and have some bright colours on the sides so I can easily identify it. I have been playing in the past 5 years in whatever clothing that I can grab, no camo, just some "PMC" or "Rebel" looking stuff, with my eye protection, gloves, knee pads, and a softshell jacket. Throw in an extra pair of jeans and shirts if I get dirty enough for a change of clothes on my way back home. Of course, my Patriot M4 kit or the TM AKS74U can still fit in a small carry-on travel bag. The only thing that will hold my mags is my reliable old dump pouch but having a fresh change of magazines, is sometimes a problem as I lump empty and full mags in a dump pouch.

Now this new bandolier concept from Grey Ghost Gear, as reported by Military Times Gear Scout, with the nice photos taken by Stickman, is something that I want to solve the problem of making my dump pouch just a pouch for empty mags. According to Stickman, the bandolier can be put inside a jacket so you can wear them both without anyone noticing that you have magazines inside your soft shell jacket. When you arrive at a game, then that's time you can just sling the bandolier over you ready for the game.

According to Stickman, the only caveat is that this bandolier can only accommodate Magpul PMAGs, which means this can go along with my Patriot M4 rather than my AKS74U. That I can live with, and after a day of playing airsoft, I can just easily fold and insder this bandolier in the smaller spaces of my bag.

This will come in 4-mag (US$39.95) or 6-mag (US$44.95) configurations and I don't know if it will come in various colours. I do agree with Stickman that these should come slightly cheaper, but I like the simplicity of this bandolier. I hope it will be available at airsoft retailers or tactical gear sellers in no time. I just want one of these.
