Explore Our SMERSH

Down to the Details

We've done our best to clone the original fan-favorite, but with enhanced quality control & materials selection.

It's far beyond the "Airsoft" quality of the SSO/SPOSN SMERSH, without sacrificing any of the rugged simplicity of the original.

If you love the original SMERSH or it's derivatives, you'll love ours even more.

Familiar Feel, Upgraded Durability

Low NIR Reflectivity

Type-A QC & Our Guarantee

Piece By Piece

The SMERSH excels at carrying a large amount of gear with as little stress to the user as possible.
We've broken down our kit below to demonstrate it's capability.

SMERSH Harness

Modular & Timeless

The wide belt and simple loop system makes it easy to customize SMERSH with any combination of it's pouches.

And because it's a clone of the original, it'll work with original SMERSH compatible pouches too.

SMERSH Buttpack

A Spacious Trunk

The buttpack is perfect for carrying what you don't need immediate access to, but helps you bring more than you'll need on your expeditions.

With an internal cinch and a double buckled lid, it resists water entry and has the ability to expand and contract with any loadout.

SMERSH Magazine Pouches

All-Rounder Pouches

Featuring an internal plastic divider, the pouches are designed to hold 4 30-round AK magazines but works with a variety of platforms. Six AR-15 Magazines total fit comfortably and are easily retrieved using mag assists or ranger plates.

SMERSH Magazine Pouches, Cont.

Don't Forget Your 'Nades

The internal divider is removable, making it a versatile way to carry extra water, a radio, and more are right at home.

The small side-mounted pockets are perfect for boo-boo kits, compact Tourniquets, compasses & GPS units, and of course, your favorite throwable.

SMERSH PPI Pouch

IFAK Extras

The "PPI" Pouch is typically mounted on the PALS webbing on the shoulders but can also be mounted on the belt.

It's perfect for quick access to bandages and other small IFAK items.

AKM-Style Magazines

As this is a clone of the SMERSH intended for the AKM platform, expect the classic 30-rounders for 7.62x39 chambered rifles to fit perfectly.

5.45 magazines of the 30-round variety will also fit.

Taller magazines such as the 40 round magazines intended for the RPK will exceed the available flap length on the pouches and may only be able to be ran open-top.

NATO/STANAG Magazines

AR-15 and other STANAG-styled magazines will fit comfortably, however, they may be difficult to access quickly due to the depth of the pouch itself.

You can add mag assists/ranger plates to each magazine or add a filler (foam or plastic wedge) to the bottom of the pouch to make your freedom filled STANAG mags work just as well as the commie mags.

All Other Magazines

While we don't have extensive experience running other types of magazines in SMERSH, SCAR/FAL magazines have been tested to fit, but may be difficult to extract due to their shorter height.

The same should apply for most other similarly sized 7.62x51 NATO magazines.

For pistol caliber carbine "stick" magazines, you may find that they're too tall for the closure to secure, similar to the 40 round RPK magazine's situation.

Lots of real estate. Could use canteen pouches

Pretty solid rig overall loaded with 270 rounds of 556, a quart of Gatorade and 2 MREs in the buttpack doesn't feel too cumbersome. Tried magpul and stanag metal mags without trouble. As advertised you will need either range plates or magazine extensions to grab everything with any expediency. Likely won't run 40 rounders, but a +5/6 extension will probably work fine with how much room is left in the top.

Also fits two 25 round 308 pmags without trouble and three 8 shot shell cards from pewpewkoncepts with plenty of room for the pull tabs

The chest strap does have a lot of extra strap for different body types though for me it might be a hair too much.

Bekt adjustments are pretty similar to a bianchi or safariland duty belt but is easier to work with since it doesn't have the duty belt stiffener sewn in. Belt pad is nice qnd cozy as well. Distributes weight a bit wider on the hips.

Shoulder pouch is the perfect size for a 4 inch oles bandage with the suction cup for better seal though I do wish it was just a hair bigger to put in a full blow out kit or an issued ifak. Works for what it's intended.

Flare pouches are also the perfect size for extended pistol magazine pouches. I recommend running the elastic to keep retention on it however because the pouch itself isn't the most secure method

At current. Butt pack is holding 2 fully packed MREs though definitely seems like there's enough room for a rain layer and a lot more miscellaneous equipment that you can stuff and…

Genuinely the best Smersh I've touched

I'm not using it for real firearms stuff but it's crazy useful and comfortable for when I'm doing stuff for a milsim or airsoft. Like, genuinely probably the best on the market which isn't a high bar coming from me but still.

Exactly what I needed

I bought this for my 72-hour survival kit, and it is perfect. The load-carrying capabilities are awesome, and I have been able to fit almost anything I need in the pouches and but pack. I was worried about the D rings snapping, but I took some time to set it up, and I have had no issues. I love the velcro shoulder straps, and I have been able to mesh my backpack into the rig, and it takes the weight off it perfectly. Trying to convince everyone I know that they need to drop their current belt kit for a smersh.
