Dust Devil Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Just got my shoulder pouch from Sith armor. Ive played and played with it to get it on. The only problem im having is that it has an almost 3 foot strap on it. Seems like it should be shorter. I know there is a simple solution to this, but for the life of me I cant figure it out.How does this work? Thx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It's a shoulder harness, and if you wear it as-is you have to put it on before you put on your chest/back. It's a circle as you know. Put your left arm in the circle so that the pouch is sitting correctly. Now, bring the strap behind your back and put your right arm through it as well. Took me a few to figure out, but it works. The only downside is that it can push the left shoulder bell out at times. The belt was too long for me as well, so I just punched another hole in it. Alternatively, you can cut the strap almost completely off and mount it to your back pack strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 this is how mike did his pouch... (thanks to Mike TD-1536 for this picture) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daetrin Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 This rig looks better. The way the SA one is done it can slip around a bit, and sometimes the strapping shows. Also, not having it on the pack strap means you can keep it on even if you have to troop sans pack (like we did at the Rose Parade, or some indoor events).

RoCKo Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 exactly, that attachment is for use without backpack. while still not 100% sure i think the screenused pouches were always attached to the backpack shoulder straps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dust Devil Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thanks guys! Im definitely gonna put another style of rig on it. I wanted the pouches they sell as the belt one with the extra pocket for my shoulder anyways. Now that im gonna change em, i can just switch em around!

trooper1 Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Rocko, Hey disregard my PM, I think I figured it out. Your pic that is. A great idea I will have to try out. back to the drawing board. Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakengine Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Also, not having it on the pack strap means you can keep it on even if you have to troop sans pack (like we did at the Rose Parade, or some indoor events). In the film all the troopers without packs were also without shoulder pouches. Just FYI. Now get on down to docking bay 94 and lend a hand!

motman241 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Geez, that's so complex. Why don't you make a little loop of nylon webbing (or leather or whatever), and hook it around your chest armor's strap part? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-1536 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 this is how mike did his pouch... (thanks to Mike TD-1536 for this picture) That solution worked beautifully for the three pouch Norwegian MP40, because the metal loop was strategically in the right place. You slide your arm through the smaller loop and the longer loop over your head and shoulder. The pauldron covers the loop from view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimelius Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 And because of the metal loop's orientation, the pouch leans outwards enough for you to: a. move your left arm b. turn your head to the left without hitting the pouch with your helmet!

Trooper Peter Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Thanks for the useful information and pictures that have been posted here. I was just wondering how you guys attached your MP-40 Shoulder Pouch till I came across this thread. May I ask whether attaching industrial velcro on the back of the MP-40 Pouch to your Chest Armor is a good attachment option, or otherwise?
