The Firebase Parabellum Bandolier is a bandolier of magazine pouches designed by Vertx and developed in conjunction with Firebase Combat Studies Group.

The Firebase Parabellum functions as a low-profile, multi-use load-bearing option designed to deal with the weight and space problems sometimes created by the need to pack and load for multiple mission profiles. In the video below you can see how the Parabellum can be worn as a bandolier, like a chest rig, or even under the arms.  It can also be mounted to a plate carrier, stashed down inside a backpack, stowed in a kit bag/go-bag, or however else you might want to use it.

Vertx advises,

“You can’t always spare the space or weight it takes to pack for multiple mission profiles so when it comes to loadout the Firebase Bandolier is the versatile solution you need. With the ability to be worn or stored in four different configurations, the Firebase Bandolier is an expert addition the Prepared Professional’s arsenal.”

Worn either under the right or left arm like a shoulder holster, diagonally across the body like a bandolier, attached to the front of your plate carrier, or deployed from your bag for off-body carry, the Firebase Parabellum Bandolier allows up to four mags with the ability to configure access either from the top or bottom.

Each mag cell has silicon printing for extra retention and the centerline pocket is Tactigami compatible and a great place to store maps, documents, or an IFAK. Designed for concealment under shirts or jackets the low-profile shoulder and waist straps secure the bandolier without adding bulk.
