Speedball/Speedsoft players can find out more about the Speedball Bandolier in this video by the Blue Jean Operator... "Today I'll be going over the Speedball , a bandolier I helped develop in partnership with 3F Supply and Venture Surplus.
I've always been fascinated by the LBE worn by MACV SOG during Vietnam, with the ways they chose to carry extra ammo on patrol being especially interesting to me.
Whether it be wearing a captured Chicom rig in conjunction with their issued LBE, or slinging an ammo crate bandolier over their chest, I found the ad hoc methods of carrying a surplus amount of magazines to be really cool.
With that being said, I wanted to create a modernized bandolier that would be sort of a homage to the SOG days, that would also be a useful piece of kit on the modern battlefield (or let's be honest, Airsoft field for most of us)."
