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 [[cowboy western|western]]-themed settings and characters, though modern bandoliers exist and may be used to hold [[shotgun shell]]s, [[grenade]]s, or other [[weapon|armaments]].

There is also a type of bandolier that consists of multiple [[ammunition pouch|pouches]] to store [[magazine (weapon)|magazines]], such as on post #6598468.

Not to be confused with an [[ammunition belt]], a device that holds ammunition together to be used on belt-fed [[machine gun]]s.

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.
