bandolier
A belt for holding individual rounds of ammunition or other objects, usually worn like a sash over the shoulder or chest.
Typically, each round is held in its own loop along the length of the belt. They are often seen on gunslingers in old western-themed settings and characters, though modern bandoliers exist and may be used to hold shotgun shells, grenades, or other armaments.
Not to be confused with an ammunition belt, a device that holds ammunition together to be used on belt-fed machine guns.
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.
