Mounting:
MOLLE/PALS compatible and can be mounted on webbing or belts up to 3" wide via two included short MALICE clip. PALS/MOLLE mounting grid features 0.875” webbing for easier weaving of MALICE clip.
HDPE stiffened back panel:
An 8" tall HDPE stiffened panel forms the mounting surface and provides the back of the pouch with support. The top of the pouch is dropped 3" below the mounting panel. The purpose of this is to ensure that there's enough clearance between the opening of the pouch and the bottom of a vest, chest rig, or body armor. The panel then extends down 5" and provides lateral stiffness to the body of the pouch, which minimizes side to side swinging. It also reduces bouncing of the pouch. Even though it's stiffened with a HDPE sheet, it's still flexible enough not to get in the way when seated or in a vehicle. The dump pouch has a stiffened/structured opening for easy insertion of items, in a rounded-rectangular shape. A plastic stiffener sewn into the top keeps it open, and also provides support for the pouch, preventing it from sagging shut.
Secure opening:
The half-cover flap was designed on the basis that the mounting point of the pouch is a pivot on which the pouch bounces in all directions thus creating the possibility of the contents falling out towards the side of the opening that is away from the body. The half-cover flap is removable and is securely fastened with four Velcro tabs attached to the interior and exterior of the stiffened opening. The half-cover flap secures contents while allowing easy access for inserting and extracting. An inner lip on the interior of the opening just below the stiffener further prevents contents from bouncing or sliding out. For added security a pull tab with a snap on the outer rim can be utilized to compress the stiffened opening, essentially closing it. An additional snap is added to allow the body of the pouch to be folded and secured in place.
Expandable capacity:
The Emdom/MM Dump Pouch will hold AK, AR-15/M4/M16, and other magazines of equal or lesser size/shape. It will hold up to six AK or seven AR-15/M4/M16 (with or without Magpul 5.56 NATO Magpuls or Magpul Ranger Plates) magazines neatly stacked straight up, side by side. Because actual capacity with normal use cannot be quantified, dual vertical pleats have been sewn into the body to allow slight expansion to accommodate randomly inserted magazines as well as bulky and odd shaped items. This innovative design creates more storage space without increasing the overall size of the pouch.
