DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(11) The pouch for carrying firearm magazines comprises longitudinal walls made of waterproof material, namely, front 1 longitudinal wall and rear 2 longitudinal wall, and transverse side walls 3, 4, bottom 5, those forming the housing of the pouch with open-face 6, and the ammunition attaching elements 8, at least, one band 7 fixed in opening (not shown) of the housing and in the corresponding openings of the ammunition attaching element 8, while one of longitudinal walls 1, 2, transverse walls 2, 3 and bottom 5 of the housing are formed from a single piece of material, wherein the elements for attaching the housing of the pouch to the ammunition and the attachments for fastening the pistol magazine pouch housing on the main pouch housing are made with the possibility of being partially arranged in the inner cavity of the above said main pouch housing or the above said pistol magazine pouch housing.

(12) Each one of the ammunition attaching elements 8 include inner compartments 8a adapted to receive at least one piece of ammunition (not shown). Each one of the ammunition attaching elements 8 is located on an inner side of the rear longitudinal wall inside the housing (See FIG. 1). Each one of the ammunition attaching elements 8 fit into the inner cavity of the housing.

(13) Front 1 longitudinal wall can be provided with elastic pad 9 and fastened with transverse side walls 3, 4 by seam 10.

(14) The front longitudinal wall 2 can be made of an elastic band and fastened to transverse side walls 3, 4 by means of seam 10.

(15) Attaching of transverse side walls 3, 4 and front longitudinal wall 1 with each other, as a result, can also be made by lacing using elastic cord 11, and the openings 12, 13 for lacing and openings 8 of the attachment system can be made by cutting in the material, or by casting, or by sewing on.

(16) In addition, in front 1 longitudinal wall of the pouch, there can be provided additional openings 14 for attaching the pistol magazine pouch thereon and in rear 2 longitudinal wall of the pistol magazine pouch, there can be provided corresponding openings 15.

(17) On the front 1 longitudinal wall (with or without elastic pad 9), additional pad 16 made of plastic or fabric can be attached to fasten a pistol magazine pouch or a second cartridge magazine pouch. The elements for fastening the housing to the ammunition or attaching the pistol magazine pouch can be made with the possibility of being partially arranged in the inner cavity of the housing and fixed with the use of a textile fastener of the Velcro 17 type.

(18) As a housing material there can be used a plastic based on synthetic or natural polymers with appropriate tillers, plasticizers and, if necessary, other special additives that provide the plastic with certain properties, in particular, increased resistance to mechanical and thermal influences.

(19) The pouch functions as follows.

(20) The pouch for carrying firearm magazines is used to wear or carry magazines with cartridges or empty magazines for such small arms as: pistols, rifles, automatic rifles, machine guns, light machine guns, etc. The magazine is inserted (and withdrawn for use) through the upper open-faced part 6 in the pouch housing. In some cases of the invention, the pouch housing can be made of two parts, that is, a pouch for a pistol magazine can be attached thereto, or it can be configured to be used with two magazines for cartridges.

(21) The pouch is attached to the user's ammunition elements using band 7, which can be elastic, and which is fed through a sling on the body armor in a staggered manner and brought back to the inside of the pouch, then fed again also in a snaking staggered manner through the sling on the body armor and the end of the band 7 is run under the pouch.

(22) When used, the cartridge magazine pouch allows achieving the claimed technical result, namely, to provide for an increase in the service life and the use of the entire product as a whole; improve the strength and maintenance reliability of the magazine with cartridges in the pouch; facilitate and speed up the installation of a magazine for cartridges in the pouch.

(23) The claimed pouch for magazines for cartridges can be factory fabricated. Its experimental and combat tests have been carried out, and those showed the industrial applicability of the invention.
