Description
Closely mirroring the pouches originally in use with the MP-40 submachine gun, these leather ammunition pouches offer a perfect blend of form, function and history. Each is capable of holding three magazines – each capable of holding 32 rounds – meaning you can reload faster than the enemy can utter “Mein Gott!”.
The MP-40 ammunition pouch saw a variety of designs throughout its production, including 3-cell and 6-cell variations (the latter often used for vehicles), mixed leather and canvas versions. This reproduction, however, focuses on the early all-leather variant that was standard for non-commissioned officers and squad leaders. Its smooth black leather exterior ensures a classic, rugged look, with reinforced stitching to handle the demands of daily use.
As a piece of WWII history, this pouch not only serves as a functional accessory for those in need of ammunition storage but also stands as a perfect collector’s item. Additionally, its visual prominence in the Star Wars franchise adds a unique pop-culture connection, meaning this piece is perfect for history buffs or fans of iconic science fiction.
