Wiki History Listing


V1 A belt loaded with ammunition that is worn around the torso. Typically, each [[cartridge]] is held in its own loop along the length of the belt. They are often seen on gunslingers in old [[cowboy western]]-themed settings and characters, though modern bandoliers exist and are usually used to hold [[shotgun shell]].

Not to be confused with an [[ammunition belt]], which is a system to continuously feed automatic weapons such as [[machine gun|machine guns]] and [[gatling gun|gatling guns]]. (Although technically, an ammunition belt [i]can[/i] be worn.)

It is also not to be confused with a [[Sam Browne belt]], a similar over the shoulder belt once used as a more effective replacement for the traditional "frog" waist belt clip for equipping a sword's scabbard, and primarily an aesthetic feature where it is in use now.
