Ukrainian DP-27 BASE Pan Magazine Backpack
The BASE backpack is a specialized Ukrainian-made carrier designed to transport up to four compatible DP-27 pan magazines while providing organized storage and quick access.
Its upper compartment holds two removable handled cases, with each case designed for two DP-27 pan magazines. The cases can be removed from the backpack and carried separately. A lower compartment provides additional room for compatible equipment and features a quick-opening flap.
The backpack is constructed from durable 100% Nylon 500D and includes EVA foam padding in the back and shoulder straps. Adjustable shoulder straps, a sternum strap and a padded waist belt help distribute the carried load.
DP-27 magazines, ammunition and other displayed equipment are not included.

Original Design Background
According to the manufacturer, the BASE backpack was developed under a special request connected with Ukraine’s Territorial Defence Forces. This should be presented as the manufacturer’s documented product history—not as proof that every example was officially issued or used in service. Manufacturer’s BASE product page.
The DP-27 is correctly described as a Soviet light machine gun, not a submachine gun. Its distinctive round feeding device is commonly called a pan magazine in American English.
Compartment OrganizationUpper Magazine Compartment
The upper compartment accommodates two removable carrying cases:
- Two pan magazines per removable case
- Four magazines total
- Carry handle on each case
- Cases can be removed and transported separately
- Main compartment secured by zipper
- Additional webbing strap and buckle help stabilize the contents
Lower Utility Compartment
The lower section provides additional storage for compatible equipment. A dedicated pull flap allows the compartment to be opened quickly.
Possible non-restricted uses include:
- Inert display accessories
- Cleaning equipment
- Protective covers
- Compact outdoor gear
- Collection and exhibition supplies
Carrying SystemAdjustable Shoulder Straps
The shoulder straps attach through adjustable webbing, allowing their angle to be changed for different body shapes, clothing layers or compatible equipment worn underneath.
Sternum Strap
The adjustable chest strap helps stabilize the shoulder straps and limits unwanted backpack movement.
Padded Waist Belt
The waist belt helps transfer part of the carried load from the shoulders to the hips. It should not be described as transferring weight “to the legs.”
EVA Foam Padding
Closed-cell EVA foam is used in the back panel and shoulder straps. Unlike sponge-type open-cell foam, EVA absorbs minimal moisture and helps retain its shape during repeated use.
Additional Attachment Features
- Top carry handle
- Zipper pull tabs
- Quick-opening compartment pulls
- Hook-and-loop identification panel
- External webbing with side-release buckle
- Attachment point for a sleeping mat or similarly sized equipment
