M203 40mm carriers
Looking to pick on of these TT 40mm Belt. Looking to see what people say works and what sucks. I don't like Drop carriers becuz of driving (mounted), but will listen to your points.
If you have one, how well does it "ride" on your RBA/IBA. I'm looking to see how well it rides while mounted and dismounted. More on the dismounted side; while running, drop stop and roll, Actions.
Looked at HSGI 12 rd 40mm pouch too.
THX for your .02

MG, I've never used one, but I do like the idea of a type of bandolier/sling bag for individuals to carry ammo/accessories for key weapons. If you are suddenly out of the fight, someone else can grab the bandolier/bag & weapon and quickly continue the mission. Folks that attach the bulk of key weapon ammo to their vests/dropleg panels/belts/etc. force the guy taking control of the weapon to dig around in their kit to gather things up, wasting precious time and possibly exposing more guys to fire. Sure, if your assigned weapon is a 203, SAW or 240, having a handful of ammo (6-7 eggs, 100/200rds link) attached to your body is a smart idea, but be sure that all your spare stuff is quickly accessible to anyone else in the unit should you go down. My thoughts, anyhow.
If the TT belt doesn't work out, another thought is a PALS bandolier panel you can sling over a shoulder. That way, you can mount 203 carriers, or SAW/240 200rd bags, or 5.56 mag pouches, or what have you, depending on your assigned weapon. Hell, you could also put a 200rd SAW pouch or MOLLE sustainment pouch and fill it with frags or bangs for a house assault. Versatility is a beautiful thing.

Razor,
Right along your line in thinking. Like been able to change out quickly. For right now I'm doing the M-249 bandolier, but they don't hold up well. So With a last name of Villa I think I need the Poncho added. I'm just wondering if the TT hold the eggs in well.

That was "Pancho", not Poncho, hermano.
Should we send you a sombrero and do you have a handlebar mustache yet to go with it?

Last trip, our 203 gunner, I believe had the TT belt. He wouldn't actually wear it, but would throw it on the top of his assault bag easily accesible for him or anyone else to grab. It worked for him, and I think it's a good technique.
TR, MG has never been good at spelling. Every time he finished writing a report the computer would start smoking while it was doing it's spell check.

At least I'm geeting a luagh out of this. Better than that Dupree Movie or Van Wilder. THX for the laugh. Man would a computer get a workout for a DFT.

well said, and exactly the reason I would clip my RACK to my RBA versus attaching pouches directly. 4 fastex later you were quite literally the team leader minus being 6'3 230 and damn good looking.
For 203 rounds I just used a shotgun belt with every other loop's stitching cut. It worked well enough with movement, etc. Cheap too.
