Tactical weapon belt.

Tactical belt.

Tactical gun belts designed for comfortable carrying of weapons and quickly bringing them into combat position. The first gun belts were made from leather strips. Modern ones are made from polymer materials.

The ability to correctly set up and use the belt is not decisive, but as always happens in airsoft - a delay of 0.5-1 second can decide the outcome of the battle. Consequently, the belt is an ally in the skillful hands of an airsoft player, but in the inept hands it is confusion and an epic fail.

Types of tactical belts

Tactical belts can be divided into three main types based on the number of connection points to the weapon:

single point tactical belt
two point tactical belt
three point tactical belt

There are also other ways to classify belts, for example, there is a series of waist belts, that is, a tactical waist belt.

Single point tactical belts

They have one point of connection with the weapon. It is usually located in the area from the pistol grip or butt neck to the butt plate.

It may look like a loop covering the user’s body or like a tape, one end attached to the weapon and the other to the equipment (unloading vest, backpack strap). A separate type is the Y-shaped belt. The upper ends of the belt are rigidly fixed to the shoulders of a CIRAS or RRVV type unloading system. The weapon is attached to a carbine that slides freely along the resulting loop.

Military Operations on Urbanized Terrain (MOUT) Sling from Specter (http://www.spectergear.com/mout_sling.htm)

One of the important advantages of single-point belts is the convenience of transferring the weapon to the non-dominant (left) shoulder, freedom of movement of the weapon. At the same time, there is almost no tight fixation on the user’s body, which will interfere with intensive movement. During a long walk on foot, you will have to keep the weapon ready using your hands or leave it hanging along your body and still hold it so that it does not dangle. Single-point belts are more convenient for carrying short weapons - carbines and submachine guns.

Two-point belts

A striking example is the classic canvas belt from AK. The front point clings to the swivel on the barrel or on the front part of the fore-end, the rear point - in the area from the pistol grip to the butt plate.

There are transitional types that allow the belt to be used in both single-point and two-point positions. For example:

MS2™ - Multi Mission Sling System from Magpul (http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG501/120)

Gunslinger Sling by EMDOM USA, Inc (http://prostores2.carrierzone.com/servlet/emdomusa/Detail?no=57)

Three-point tactical belts

The most popular and versatile type of tactical belts.

The name comes from the presence of an additional point that has the ability to change its position relative to the weapon from the front to the rear swivel. Here is a classic diagram of a three-point belt, this is approximately what it looks like on a weapon

The middle point can be rigidly fixed in the front position using a fastex and reset to the rear position after unfastening it, or it can be fixed in a convenient middle position with a clip or another way (depending on the design of the belt)

They combine a number of advantages:

· Tight fixation of the weapon in the stowed position

· Ability to transfer weapons to the non-dominant (left) shoulder

· Minimum time for bringing the weapon into the ready-to-fire position

· Suitable for different types of weapons

· Versatility - can take one-, two- and three-point positions

Possible different variants carrying a weapon on a three-point belt. Here are some of them http://www.spectergear.com/carryoptions.htm

Seat belts significantly reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident or sudden braking. Follow the rules for using seat belts and child seats. Improperly adjusted seat belts can cause serious injury or death.

The belt should fit snugly to the body.
The seat back should be vertical.
Do not recline the seat back while the vehicle is moving.
Do not fasten a belt that is twisted.

WARNING: A high lap belt and a loose shoulder belt can cause the occupant to fall out of the seat in the event of an accident.

WARNING:

The belt buckle release button should not touch your body.
Fasten your belt buckle correctly.
Make sure that foreign objects do not block the seat belt opening in the center console.

NOTE: If the seat belt gets stuck during removal, screw it completely onto the reel, then pull it out to the desired length.

Caring for seat belts

Seat belts must be clean and dry. Make sure that the belt reel does not come into contact with oil, polishes or other chemical substances, especially battery acid. The belt reel is cleaned with a solution of liquid soap and water. Do not bleach or dye seat belts as this may weaken the fabric. Check the integrity of the belt. Periodically inspect all seat belt parts and replace faulty parts. A belt that is stretched during a collision should be replaced. The company recommends replacing the entire seat belt assembly that was deployed during a collision. If the collision was not severe and the employees of our company dealer considered that the seat belt is in order, the belt does not need to be changed.

Seat belts that were not in use at the time of the collision should also be inspected and replaced if found to be faulty.

WARNING:

Check all seat belts from time to time.
Check seat belts and other components of the impact attenuation system after each collision.
Replace seat belts with worn or damaged reels.
After a serious accident, replace the entire seat belt assembly, even if no damage is found upon inspection.

WARNING: Do not modify the seat belts.

Pregnant women

The lap belt should be placed across the hips below the abdomen, but never across the waist. If any questions arise, a woman should consult a doctor.

CHILD RESTRAINT (CHILD SEAT)

When transporting children in a car, you should always use special child seats that reduce the likelihood of injury in the event of an accident. Child restraints must be appropriate for the child's height and weight. Make sure they are installed correctly in the back seat of the car. Accident statistics show that children in the back seat are less at risk than those in the front seat.

WARNING:

Infants and small children should be transported in special bassinets and seats.
IT IS PROHIBITED TO INSTALL REVERSE CHILD SEATS ON THE FRONT SEATS IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS.

ATTENTION:

When installing child restraints, follow all manufacturer's instructions.
It is advisable to secure the child seat when not in use with seat belts or remove it from the vehicle.
Do not hold your child on your lap while driving a car.
Do not allow your child to place their feet or knees on the seats.
Do not allow children into the luggage compartment while driving.
Children who have outgrown the child restraint system are carried in the rear seat and are securely fastened with seat belts. If the shoulder belt is located higher or too close to the child's face and neck, move the child to the center of the vehicle or place the child in a seat that does not have a shoulder belt.

THREE POINT SEAT BELT

All cars of our company are equipped with three-point seat belts with automatic tensioners, which do not interfere with the movements of passengers and the driver during a trip at a uniform speed, while belts with spring tensioners tightly wrap around the body, making movement difficult. The belt is equipped with a sensitive tensioner that closes the belt during sudden acceleration or deceleration. Do not check the operation of the belt with intentional sudden movements. This type of belt does not require length adjustment. The worn belt independently adjusts its size taking into account the movements of the person, but in the event of a sharp push or jerk, it automatically locks, holding the passenger or driver in place.

Using the belt

Pull the belt out of the tensioner, pass it over your body and fasten it using the metal latch inserted into the belt buckle.

NOTE: If the belt gets stuck during removal, retract it completely into the tensioner, then pull it out again to the desired length.

To remove the belt, press the red button on the buckle. The belt will automatically roll up.

ATTENTION:

Do not pass the shoulder strap under your arm.
The shoulder strap should go over the middle of the shoulder (never pull the strap over your neck).
The lap belt should go around your hips, not your waist.

WAIST BELT

The lap seat belt is installed in the center of the rear seat.

To fasten the belt, insert the latch tongue into the belt buckle until it clicks. To lengthen the seat belt, pull the belt while holding the metal latch at a certain angle. To shorten the belt, pull the loose end of the belt, then tighten the clamp to remove the excess portion of the belt.

The lap belt should rest on your hips.

To unfasten the belt, press the red button on the buckle. The center lap belt buckle and latch are marked “CENTRE”. Before fastening your seat belt, check the marks. The central waist belt is fastened only with its own buckle.

ATTENTION:

Do not wear the lap belt over your stomach.
The waist belt cinches over the hips, but not the waist.

WARNING: Do not force your belt into place using an incorrectly selected buckle. An incorrectly fastened seat belt can cause injury.

NOTE: When fastening the rear seat shoulder belt or center lap belt, ensure that the latch is inserted into the correct buckle. This will significantly increase the protective qualities of the belt.

REAR THREE POINT SEAT BELT (CENTRE)* - installed in accordance with local regulations

1. Pull the belt by the latch (A) from the console located on the ceiling.

2. Throw the belt over your shoulder and insert the latch into the belt buckle (3) until it clicks.

3. Pull the latch (B).

4. Place the belt over your hips and insert the latch into the buckle (2) until it clicks.

5. To unfasten the belt, press the red (black) button on the belt buckle.

ATTENTION:

Observe the order of fastening the seat belt.
To prevent the belt from hitting the rear window, unfasten it while holding it with your hand.
This belt is intended only for the passenger seated in the center rear seat.

ATTENTION:

Pull the seat belt to check that the buckle is securely fastened.
Make sure the belt is not twisted.
Make sure the belt does not go over your neck or stomach.

WARNING: When not in use, the seat belt must be stowed in the overhead console.

SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER*

The front seat belts are equipped with automatic pretensioners. The pretensioner safety system reduces the likelihood of injury in a frontal collision. Pretensioners keep the occupant and driver firmly seated in the event of a crash. In the event of a rear, side, minor frontal impact or vehicle rollover, the pretensioners do not operate.

WARNING: After a collision, carefully inspect the seat belts and pretensioners.

WARNING: Pretensioners operate only once. After an accident, the seat belt system is checked by the dealer and, if necessary, replaced with a new one.

SEAT BELTS HEIGHT ADJUSTER

The front seat is equipped with a seat belt height adjuster.

Pull out the belt, press the side button of the adjuster and adjust the height. This is especially important if the belt has previously been used by a short person.

ATTENTION:

Adjust the height of your seat belts before driving.
Make sure the mount is securely fastened.
The shoulder strap should go over the middle of the shoulder (never pull the strap over your neck).

WARNING: Do not adjust the seat belt height while the vehicle is moving. This may result in loss of control.

AIR BAG*

Additional passive safety systems (including airbags) reduce the risk of head and chest injuries for the driver and front seat passenger. The airbag system is activated in the event of severe collisions (frontal and side at an angle of no more than 30°). When the airbag deploys, a slight noise is heard and a small amount of smoke appears. Remember that this smoke is harmless and does not indicate the presence of a fire.

In the event of severe collisions, even seat belts and airbags do not always prevent injury. No security system can provide 100% protection.

Simply inspecting a vehicle after an accident does not determine whether the airbags should or should not have deployed. In some cases, a severely damaged car body makes it possible to say that the main impact energy was absorbed by the body, and airbags were not needed. In other cases, a strong shock, such as a hit to the chassis, does not cause visible damage to the body, but causes the airbags to deploy.

WARNING: To avoid injury:

Always wear your seat belt.

If possible, install an additional passive safety system (airbags).

WARNING: Do not attempt to modify the system yourself. This may result in personal injury and damage to the vehicle.

CAUTION: Do not stick anything on the steering wheel or control panel. Do not change the covering of the steering wheel and dashboard yourself. This may reduce the protective ability of the security system.

WARNING: The airbags will not deploy under the following conditions:

Hit from behind.
Side impact (sliding side impact).
Rolling over a car.
Light frontal blow.

Driver's airbag*

The driver's airbag is located in the steering wheel. In the event of a collision, the airbag deploys within a few milliseconds, inflating and protecting the driver from the impact. Immediately after full deployment, the airbag deflates so as not to obscure the driver's view and not interfere with his driving. Make sure the driver's seat and seatback are in the correct position, otherwise the inflating airbag may injure you. With the seat correctly installed, the driver reaches the steering wheel with his arms slightly bent at the elbows.

WARNING: Cushions are designed for factory-assembled vehicles. Changes to the vehicle's design will adversely affect the effectiveness of the airbag and may cause injury.

WARNING: Please remember that airbags should only be installed by our employees. Installation of airbags by unauthorized persons may result in personal injury and vehicle damage.

Passenger airbag*

Some car models allow the installation of passenger airbags (for front seat passengers). The passenger airbag is located above the glove box. In general, the passenger airbag operates in the same way as the driver's airbag. Make sure the passenger is wearing a seat belt. The passenger seat should be located as far away from the cushion panel as possible.

WARNING: Remember that children can be seriously injured if the airbag deploys.

IT IS PROHIBITED TO INSTALL REVERSE CHILD SEATS ON THE FRONT SEATS IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AIR BAGS
In the event of an accident, airbag deployment could cause injury or death to a child in a rear-facing child seat in the front seat. These seats are installed only in the rear seats.
Forward-facing child seats are also recommended for rear seats. If such a chair is installed in the front seat, move the seat as far into the interior as possible.
Children who have outgrown the child restraint system are carried in the rear seat and are securely fastened with seat belts.

WARNING: Please remember that airbags should only be installed by our employees. Installation of airbags by unauthorized persons may result in personal injury and vehicle damage.

IMMOBILIZER*

The immobilizer provides additional protection of the car against theft. A car equipped with an immobilizer cannot be started by a person who does not have a key with a code. When the ignition key with a built-in transponder is turned to the ON position, the ECU (engine control unit) checks the encrypted key code and, if the code matches the one stored in memory, commands the engine to start.

If the engine does not start, contact your dealer.

A key for a car with an immobilizer is a mechanical ignition key with a built-in transponder on which the code is written in electronic form. The engine can only be started with a specially trained key. Using the wrong key will disable the control of the injection system.

The ability to quickly bring a machine gun or shotgun into combat condition is especially important among military personnel and hunters. A second's delay can deprive you of your prey, or even your life. A device such as a three-point belt has been created especially for people in these professions. This system has become an integral part of hunting, military, and recently and sports equipment.

origin of name

The “three-point” belt got its name due to the presence of a middle “floating” point in it. The weapon is attached in three places. In this way, the three-point belt for a shotgun, machine gun, machine gun or rifle differs from the already outdated two-point version, in comparison with which the new fastening design is much more advanced.

What are the advantages of three-point carry?

Hunting is a very exciting activity for some people. Often what captivates you is not so much the result itself as the long hours of tracking the game. A person is able to cover long distances without feeling tired at all. Anyone who has ever been on a hunt knows that success largely depends on the ability to quickly bring a weapon into combat condition and produce accurate shot. This can be done if your hands are not loaded and the rifle is always ready. Conventional two-point belts performed only one task - they saved a person from the labor of carrying a weapon. But they were not suitable for quick aiming due to the peculiarity of the organization of the two-point mounting design, which consisted in the fact that a well-aimed shot could only be fired if the weapon was removed from the shoulder. A three-point belt for a gun, in contrast to a classic mount, provides the ability to carry a weapon for a long time and, if necessary, quickly use it without removing it from the shoulder.

Using one mounting point

Single-point tactical belts are suitable for small-sized weapons (models not exceeding one meter). Fastening is carried out using one carabiner, which is attached to the neck of the stock or to the rear receiver. To perform a quick release, the single-point system contains a fastex - a special buckle with three teeth. The disadvantage of this tactical belt manifests itself while running - the weapon gets tangled in the legs or hits the body. Weak sides These structures are as follows:

Single point slings are very awkward for long guns.
The suspension does not provide a tight seal to the body, as a result of which the owner is forced to constantly monitor the weapon so that it does not fall and does not scoop up various debris with the barrel.

Standard two-point carry

In a conventional two-point system, fastening is carried out using two carabiners. One of them is attached to the swivel on the butt, and the second is attached to the butt plate using a suspension. You can quickly reset the gun using the fastex, which is located near the rear carbine. This method is considered classic and quite convenient for carrying a weapon on one shoulder. You can adjust the length of the tactical belt with one hand. However, this use has its drawbacks:

Does not allow you to quickly move the weapon into a firing position on the aiming line.
To move a two-point gun sling from one shoulder to the other, the strap must be completely removed, which is very tedious.
The belt design does not provide sufficient suspension density.

The two-point use of tactical belts is gradually being replaced by three-point ones.

Most popular option

A three-point belt, unlike a two-point belt, can be easily moved from one shoulder to another. These tactical belts provide tight fixation of the weapon. They do not interfere with rapid shooting. The three-point harness is ideal when covering long distances. If necessary, this design can be converted for single-point or two-point wear. The front suspension (mount) can be moved along the weapon from the first to the rear swivel and even to the rear attachment point. This is easy to do by sliding the front suspension along a sling that is stretched along the gun or machine gun. Thus, a three-point belt can be converted into a two-point belt or a single-point belt.

The three-point mounting system is inconvenient for reloading a pump-action shotgun. It is not advisable to install such belts on this weapon, since they will interfere with the twitching of the forend. Three-point belts can also be inconvenient for a left-handed person, since a sling stretched along the weapon blocks the window for ejecting spent cartridges.

Features of three-point weapon mounting

The “floating” third point can change its location:

Swivels in front. Fixation occurs using fastex. To reset to the rear position, simply release the buckle.
Behind the swivels.

Three-point tactical belts do not contain various additional elements that are equipped with weapon belts. They already offer significant comfort.

Standard three-point belt “Bison”

This tactical belt is used to carry all types of long-barreled weapons with 2 cm swivels. “Zubr-Standard” is not intended to carry an assault rifle. Belt products are a product with the following parameters:

the belt tape is 4 cm wide;
belt thickness is 2.5 mm;
products are made of polyamide;
the product weighs 130 g.

The modernized Zubr-Blitz, unlike its standard counterpart, has a quick reset function. This multi-functional tactical belt system features a quick-release buckle that allows for instant one-handed weapon release.

Multifunctional weapon belt “Zubr-Saiga”

This belt has found its place. wide application among hunters, especially owners of smooth-bore carbines “Saiga” (popularly this model is also called “Vepr”). One of the modifications of the “Zubr” multifunctional weapon belts is intended for this model. For this fastening system, as well as for the previous two, the presence of a swivel is considered important. Its width is at least two centimeters. Unlike the previous two options, the multifunctional weapon belt “Zubr-Saiga” gives the hunter the opportunity to carry weapons in different positions- with the trunk raised up or down. According to hunters, wearing a carbine with the barrel up is the best option, as it allows you to keep the muzzle in sight and control it. If necessary, the position can be quickly changed.

Product characteristics:

The belt has a width of 4 cm.
The thickness of the belt is 2.5 mm.
Color - olive or black.
Weight - 130 g.

“Debt M2”

This name was given to the patented invention of Vladimir Kharlampov, founder of the Tactical Solutions company. This system fastening differs from the standard three-point one in the absence of a sling. The belt system consists of a pull-up tape and a main girth, which, when connected into a ring, encircles the shooter’s torso. Using a three-slot buckle, the pull-up tape is connected to the front swivel. The end of the belt protrudes from the buckle and moves the suspension point. According to some users, this system has two disadvantages:

it looks unaesthetic;
the tape protruding from the buckle may often get caught on foreign objects (bushes, tree branches).

The advantage of this belt system is the ability to freely carry a weapon on your chest and under your arm.

“Debt M3”

It is a modernized belt system that allows you to carry smooth-bore and pump-action shotguns, submachine guns, sniper rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers and machine guns. Differences between M3 and the previous version:

The M3 design is considered universal, as it makes it possible to use the belt as an adjustable two-point belt. The belt can also be configured to carry a weapon on the back (biathlon version).
The M3 has a wide removable shoulder strap.
Reducing the number of buckles.
The design is equipped with a low-noise lining and a “Riga” carbine.

Homemade option

In order to be the happy owner of such multifunctional weapon belts, it is not necessary to go to specialized and hunting stores. Having the necessary skills, as well as having necessary materials, you can make a three-point belt with your own hands. For this you will need:

Belt tape. Preferably 2.5 to 3 meters long. The belt width should be 25 mm.
Fastex - 2 pieces.
Buckles - 7 pieces.

Three-point seat belts. What it is?

Modern passenger cars contain a passive safety system. Mainly her structural element are three-point belts.

They prevent dangerous movements person in the cabin during a car collision or as a result of sudden braking. Great importance for the health of the driver and passenger, it has a uniform distribution of energy, which is only possible with a V-shaped belt arrangement. Three-point seat belts have this design. What kind of system this is can be seen in the photo below.

How does the seat belt system work?

The three-point belt of a car seat consists of three elements:

Strap. High-strength materials are used for its manufacture. The strap is fastened to the body in three places: on the rack, on the threshold, on the rod with a lock. Car seat belts can be adjusted, if necessary, to suit a person's height.
Lock. It is located near the seat of the car and performs the function of locking the seat belt. The lock design contains a switch that is connected to the vehicle's audio-visual alarm system circuit. This is intended to remind the driver and passengers of the effective use of seat belts. The strap is connected to the lock using a movable metal tongue.
Coil. It is located on the body pillar. Designed for forced unwinding and automatic rewinding of belts. To block unwinding as a result of an accident, the reel has an inertial mechanism. The seat belt is pulled out of the drum with slow movements.

The installation of three-point belts in car interiors was first proposed by Volvo in 1959.

Passenger restraint options

Non-inertial. This safety system is characterized by individual adjustment of belts to a specific person. This option can be found in cars produced before 1980. Modern models are not equipped with such a system. The disadvantage of this fixation is the inability to adjust the belt to the child’s parameters.
Inertial. This system contains a belt that, using an automatic retracting mechanism, can tightly secure an adult passenger and a child. In the event of a possible collision or braking, the movement of the seat belt is blocked by a locking mechanism. For the manufacture of tapes, elastic fabric is used, which, depending on the load, can be extended.

Three-point belts have found their use in hunting, sports, and military affairs. They are the most popular personal protective equipment in the car.

Having a fairly simple design, three-point belt systems are distinguished by significant strength, reliability and ease of use.

What are the advantages of three-point carry?

Hunting is a very exciting activity for some people. Often what captivates you is not so much the result itself as the long hours of tracking the game. A person is able to cover long distances without feeling tired at all. Anyone who has ever been on a hunt knows that success largely depends on the ability to quickly bring a weapon into combat condition and fire a well-aimed shot. This can be done if your hands are not loaded and the rifle is always ready. Conventional two-point belts performed only one task - they saved a person from the labor of carrying a weapon. But they were not suitable for quick aiming due to the peculiarity of the organization of the two-point mounting design, which consisted in the fact that a well-aimed shot could only be fired if the weapon was removed from the shoulder. A three-point belt for a gun, in contrast to a classic mount, provides the ability to carry a weapon for a long time and, if necessary, quickly use it without removing it from the shoulder.

Using one mounting point

Single-point tactical belts are suitable for small-sized weapons (models not exceeding one meter). Fastening is carried out using a single carabiner, which is attached to the neck of the stock or to the rear of the receiver. To perform a quick release, the single-point system contains a fastex - a special buckle with three teeth. The disadvantage of this tactical belt manifests itself while running - the weapon gets tangled in the legs or hits the body. The weaknesses of such structures are as follows:

Single point slings are very awkward for long guns.
The suspension does not provide a tight seal to the body, as a result of which the owner is forced to constantly monitor the weapon so that it does not fall and does not scoop up various debris with the barrel.

Standard two-point carry

Does not allow you to quickly move the weapon into a firing position on the aiming line.
To move a two-point gun sling from one shoulder to the other, the strap must be completely removed, which is very tedious.
The belt design does not provide sufficient suspension density.

The two-point use of tactical belts is gradually being replaced by three-point ones.

Most popular option

A three-point belt, unlike a two-point belt, can be easily moved from one shoulder to another. The data ensures tight fixation of the weapon. They do not interfere with rapid shooting. The three-point harness is ideal when covering long distances. If necessary, this design can be converted for single-point or two-point wear. The front suspension (mount) can be moved along the weapon from the first to the rear swivel and even to the rear. This is easy to do by sliding the front suspension along a sling that is stretched along the gun or machine gun. Thus, a three-point belt can be converted into a two-point belt or a single-point belt.

The three-point mounting system is inconvenient for reloading. It is not advisable to install such belts on this weapon, since they will interfere with the twitching of the forend. Three-point belts can also be inconvenient for a left-handed person, since a sling stretched along the weapon blocks the window for ejecting spent cartridges.

Features of three-point weapon mounting

The “floating” third point can change its location:

Swivels in front. Fixation occurs using fastex. To reset to the rear position, simply release the buckle.
Behind the swivels.

Three-point tactical belts do not contain various additional elements that are equipped with weapon belts. They already offer significant comfort.

Multifunctional weapon belt “Zubr-Saiga”

This belt has found wide application among hunters, especially owners of smooth-bore Saiga carbines (popularly this model is also called “Vepr”). One of the modifications of the “Zubr” multifunctional weapon belts is intended for this model. For this fastening system, as well as for the previous two, the presence of a swivel is considered important. Its width is at least two centimeters. Unlike the previous two options, the multifunctional weapon belt “Zubr-Saiga” gives the hunter the opportunity to carry a weapon in different positions - with the barrel raised up or down. According to hunters, wearing a carbine with the barrel up is the best option, as it allows you to keep the muzzle in sight and control it. If necessary, the position can be quickly changed.

This material provides photo instructions for attaching a belt for carrying a machine gun to a machine gun and adjusting its length.

Carrying belt serves for carrying the machine gun in combat and traveling position. The carrying belt consists of a belt strip 35 mm wide, at one end of which a carabiner is attached using a metal plate and ring, the other end of the tape is made in the form of a loop with a metal buckle and loop. Due to the loop and buckle, the length of the belt can be adjusted to take into account the individual characteristics of the machine gunner.
