Viper Tactical Belt Kit

Viper Tactical Belt Kit

As a reviewer of airsoft and air guns, I spend a fair bit of time on my woodland range getting to grips with them as you can imagine, and I like to have dedicated gear for that. In relation to range gear, I want to keep everything as light and mobile as possible; normally I would airsoft in a plate carrier and battle belt, but as I’ll be shooting at targets and (hopefully!) not getting shot at, I can dispense with the upper body protection and just concentrate on the belt setup. As I want to keep everything fairly smart and uniform, I’ve decided to replicate my regular airsoft skirmish order, as it works perfectly for me, in plain black rather than camo, and VIPER have all the gear I need to do just that.

The basis for this will be an ELITE WAIST BELT, which costs £22.50. This fully modular belt acts as a platform for you to build and customise with MOLLE pouches. It’s made of 600D Cordura, and internally uses the padded Ventex system to enhance comfort for user, but still has a Full MOLLE exterior. The belt fits up to 52’-inch waist and the interior webbing belt is included; there are also four D-Ring attachment points, should you wish to add a harness at any point.

I’m going to need to carry a pistol, so the first thing I’ll add to the belt is a MODULAR ADJUSTABLE HOLSTER at £20.50; this is a great design, as it’s a fully adjustable holster, which takes virtually all pistols, with a single mag pouch at the front. There are two threads on the rear with press studs, to attach to the VIPER modular system. Of course, I’m going to need to ‘feed the beasts’ that are my primary and secondary, so I’ll be needing to carry additional magazines for both pistol and carbine, along with a spare shotgun shell or two.

Magazine storage

Luckily, VIPER has just brought in a fresh range of magazine pouches in their 2017 line, called the ELITE STACKER at £12.95 a pop, and they are a very, very nice ‘tacolike’ design. Open topped with bungee retention, there’s the main pouch, which will easily accommodate most rifle or carbine magazines, whilst on the front there is a smaller pouch, which carry pistol magazines, shotgun shells, and a small knife or multi-tool should you need one. This front pouch can be removed and mounted independently. If you fancy having everything on one single panel though, the MODULAR MAG RIG at £26.95 provides space for three rifle/ carbine magazines and four pistol mags/ tools in a dedicated stacking system.

I always carry a dump-pouch and the new model in the range is a HUGE improvement on the old roll-away offering; the ELITE DUMP POUCH at £11.50 is a much neater affair that still offers space to tuck away three or four mags in the main compartment, which has a stiffened neck and bungee closure. You also have a main front pocket with Velcro closure, which is perfect for range cards and/or tools, and there’s a neat elasticated mesh pocket on the side. Last but by no means least and costing just £10.50, comes the new MICRO UTILITY POUCH, which could be used for just about anything, as it’s incredibly neat and versatile; I always like to have a small first aid kit on my belt, so that’s what I’ll be using it for.

VIPER continue to come out with new products at a prodigious rate, and the quality keeps improving too; one thing I do like though, is that they keep prices sensible, so adding a new, dedicated set of belt order specifically for use on the range, isn’t going to break the bank!
