Holster

In the game, every member of Rat Patrol Team 01 carries a huge holster which is enough for large pistol like SOCOM MK-23 or .50AE Desert Eagle. The holster has two spare magazine pouches on it. But so far we haven’t recognized it yet, the nearest item we found is a trial item made by Eagle Industries for SOCOM MK-23, but they still have some difference. Maybe the developers used some airsoft holster as reference while building the 3D model of the holster. Leg Drop Magazine Pouches Combination
