Chest-mounted magazine dispenser holds three, spare, 30-round USGI magazines ready for lightning-fast mag changes without taking your eyes off the target. Drop the spent mag from the weapon, retrieve a fresh one from the F.A.S.T. (Fast And Smooth Transition) pack, and seat it in the mag well, ready to fire, in as little as two seconds. When the operator pulls the first spare magazine from the carrier, a powerful spring-loaded mechanism snaps the next one into place, ready to grab for the next reload. The fresh mag is always in the exact same position, so there’s no fumbling for a different pocket each time. With brief training, the operator quickly develops muscle memory and instinctively reaches to the correct spot for the next mag without looking down. Fully ambidextrous design mounts on either side of chest for strong- or weak-hand access by left- and right-handed shooters. Shell is made from exceptionally strong ,yet lightweight, high-impact polymer composite, and comes with a durable, fitted, 1000 Denier nylon case fully compatible with load-bearing vests using MOLLE attachment systems. Case has removable dust cover secured via a hook-and-loop attachment system, plus MOLLE loops on the front to allow attachment of additional pouches or accessories.

What am I missing here that makes this a $340 item? [thinking]
 
Wouldn't regular practice allow you to reach for a fresh mag in the correct place on a normal load bearing rig? Why would you need it in the same place every time?

And so much for magazine retention.

If you need to reload that fast your in deeper shit than any expensive rig will get you out of.
 
Weren't we laughing at another version of this only a few months ago thinking "christ this is the dumbest thing we've seem since looking for a concealable IWB holster for a Desert Eagle.
 
All I want to know is wheres the pouch for the cellphone and ipod?

Does it have a subwoofer in it?

[rofl]

I'd buy one if they made it for beer rather than AR mags. It would have to hold more than 3 though.

Forget a beer magazine, go straight to belt-fed.
