No idea. Saw it on another Jow Forums thread. I'm gonna make a bandolier like that someday.

Unfortunately it's not leather.

It's only possible to have too much ammo if you're drowning or on fire.

Boy Scouts used to be a lot more hardcore.

I have a bandolier for my lee Enfield and it looks great for aesthetic but I find carrying ammo this way allows it to sag down and it's hard to get clips out. I eventually started using belt pouches. Less cool, but more practical.

From what I know, bandoliers were issued in Western armies for either cavalry or people who needed their belts clear to carry grenades. Not really a thing of reload speed, just a way to free up space.

You mean the cloth ones? Yeah it's not a really great way to carry ammo but it was cheap, easy to make, convenient to pack and issue and worked alright. I suppose if you were fighting with it you'd figure out a way to make it work for you or just put up with it.

If you die with ammunition you didn't fire enough
If you run out of ammunition you didn't carry enough
The only upper limit is unacceptable encumbrance.

Wise words.

What is a good bandolier for 7.62x54r?

Not sure. I don't think the Ruskies ever used one. Might have to make it yourself.

Wouldn't have expected something so cool off of Reddit.

I believe they had one that was used around the time of the First World War.

Both wars, apparently. I stand corrected.
