Avon S10 VS Scott GSR Respirator

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The S10 respirator when introduced into service in the 1980s was one of the best gas masks ever designed, it served the British armed forces faithfully for around 30 years before it was replaced.
The mask that replaced it was the Scott General Service Respirator or GSR.
However is the GSR a good replacement for the S10, and what other masks were available to order as a replacement.

    For the S10, in a CBRN environment, you wouldn't put the mask on like that unless you want to risk filling your face with contaminants. You hook the mask over the bottom of your chin and bring it up and over your face.

    I bet you didnt know that the bayonet system was used on gas masks as early as WW1! With one of the earliest models that was used it being the heeres sauerstoff schutzapparat. You see i bought a German GM16 gas mask a while ago and i noticed that it has this weird plate inside the mask on top of where the filter loads into the mask. I wasnt sure what it was so i ended up getting in contact with a professional collector who still had no clue what it was. He ended up asking a friend who is big into his WW1 German antigas equipment and he said it looks alot like a bayonet locking system but hes never seen anything like it before. Turns out it was the plate used to connect to the HSS meaning i managed to pick up an incredibly rare gas mask as there is only one other example known in a museum in Belgium.

    Its works in conjunction with the screw thread, as its a hose connection we both know they can come loose so i think it was to keep the hose fixed into the mask as this was meant for highly toxic gas areas where the standard filter would fail.

    Just curious, what are your thoughts on the SGE 400/3. and the associated models 150, 400, and 400/3 BB? From what I've heard, they were turned down by the Italian military, but are still good masks. However, all by the BB model use silicon instead of butyl rubber, thus not super great against some CRBNE (NBC) environments. However, the silicon can take more heat before melting. The MSA MCU-2p has the same issure, and makes up for it with a hood and the MSA Millennium's materials. Anyway, just interested in your thoughts about it for general and emergency use (eg: escape from a high rise in a fire). Cheers!

    Hi, since I've some problem finding a good way to find out what is the better size for me for the S10, can you please tell me the height and the width of your head so I can have a "good" impression about how big is size 2 mask? Thanks in advance

  • @Weaponsandstuff93

    @Weaponsandstuff93

    7 жыл бұрын

    That won't be any use to you because the S10 doesn't have a conventional size chart online, S10s were meant to be fitted by doing a proper respirator fit check and then a mask of the correct size was issued to the soldier, generally bigger sizes were issued than needed and then the straps were tightened to make a good fit, so I'll give you the same advice, if you have a normal sized head get a size 1 or 2 (large or medium) then tighten the straps. Most of the S10 measurement is done on jaw width supposedly, not height and width of the head. If you google "Gas mask sizing chart" you will find some that show you how to measure your jaw and then the general respective sizes for most gas masks. Remember with the S10, size 1 is large and 4 is small.

  • @The117th
    @The117th6 жыл бұрын

    I have checked across most of KZread and I find it funny how people always forget that the GSR has a secondary filter with its inner mask in the bottom of the mask, which is why it's so heavy, the whole thing isn't designed so much for practicality but safety without compromise, as double filters extend service life and allows filters being exchanged in a hazardous environment when you can't avoid one but also has that inner mask which adds to the seal and that filter improves protection in particular if either there is a failure of seal or whilst some dangerous material sits on the replacement filters as you move them into position, I'm not aware as to what the rating is for that internal filter but at least it would give a fighting chance in the event of a failure around the eyepiece or anything else, just a point I'd like to raise although have to admit good video and you've gained a subscriber

    That's not a filter, it's designed to collect moisture and allow you to exhale that moisture better, it was added when the GSR had massive teething problems during the trails of the mask, the sweat and condensation inside the mask would block the filter ports. If it was an internal filter it would have to contain charcoal, it doesn't, I've since pulled it out of my mask.

    I'm pretty sure I answered you, it's for laser designating I believe, you can see the laser with the filter on the mask but it's invisible to the naked eye.

    I think if GSR had dual 40mm filter ports with a blanking plug and if it was better quality, it would be a really nice mask. Well, it would be an FRR or an Avon made GSR.

    The S10 and M40, like the S6 and the M9 were great. It's a massive shame the FM12 didn't catch on as a military mask. Whilst the newer GSR is an interesting piece, as is the M50, both seem to be a lot heavier and cost a lot more and aren't quite as versatile as the refined 12 series' base. Especially since the 10 series was such an iconic image that the 12 kept. It's interesting the SAS haven't adopted (Atleast to my knowledge) the GSR and still use the CT12. Probably due to weight, the size difference and the lack of easily adaptable lense outserts. Funny you should post this kind of video today, since my FM12 arrived today as well. I can see why it's you like it so much. The thing is so light and easy to handle. If you took all the good things from the M40 and plonked it into all the good things about the S10 out comes the FM12.

    The FM12 has nothing to do with the M40 though, it's simply an updated S10. The M40 didn't enter US service properly (ignoring the XM40) until the 1990s, the S10 had been around since the early 1980s, and the FM12 is simply a refined S10.

    True, but in regards to the bulk and the head harness. Since the M40 is quite a lightweight and close fitting to the face mask. If you take those aspects from the M40 of course. I don't know if Avon took any notes from other masks whilst working on the FM12 but I imagine they looked at what worked on newer masks and applied them to make the FM12. Speaking of, would it, had it been used a mainstay military mask been named the S12?

    Huh, well at least the S8 is no longer alone in terms of being an S designated mask that never made it to production for military use. The S12 is right there with it.

    When Avon Rubber made the S6 and S10, for example, they were made under contract for the British armed forces, the FM12 was a mask they made for separate sale that they tried to get the British armed forces to buy. The S10, for example, was guaranteed to be chosen, the FM12 wasn't part of that.
