Bandolier

A bandolier or bandoleer, sometimes shortened to bando, is a pocketed belt for holding multiple individual cartridges, belts of ammunition, or grenades. It is usually slung sash-style over the shoulder and chest, with the ammunition pockets across the midriff and chest. Though functionally similar, it is distinct from a chest rig designed to hold magazines.
