This video demonstrates a clever modification of standard military cloth bandoliers to increase their magazine capacity. By releasing a hidden white string, the pockets expand, allowing them to hold one or even two 5.56mm magazines each. Special Forces operators pack these expanded bandoliers with other essentials for rapid emergency resupply in the field.

This ballistic gel test compares 9mm Barnes TAC-XPD and .45 ACP Cor-Bon Pow'RBall. The 9mm achieved deeper penetration (13-14 inches) with consistent expansion, while the .45 ACP created a larger wound cavity and significant energy transfer but slightly less penetration. The Cor-Bon Pow'RBall's design enhances feeding reliability in 1911 platforms.
