Keep your ammunition close at hand with our MP40 Leather Ammo Pouches.

More than just a piece of history, they’ve also made their mark in pop culture, appearing in use by the Stormtroopers of George Lukas’s Star Wars.

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.
