A bandolier or a bandoleer is a pocketed belt for holding either individual cartridges, belts of ammunition or grenades. It is usually slung sash-style over the shoulder and chest, with the ammunition pockets across the midriff and chest.^[1] Though functionally similar, they are distinct from chest rigs, which are designed to hold magazines instead.
