As bad as these were because of the silicon, I still miss them. It's basically impossible to reasonably aim with a rifle in the M50's with both filters on, and when you remove the one on your firing side you're only left with a less than reassuring sealing valve... That and the new harness design is way more complicated than it needs to be. Oh, and changing filters is even more annoying now. Rant done, great video man. Looking forward to the next one!

I've got one of these. My buddy was in charge of the CBRN warehouse in the West Virginia Marine base, and he scored me one. The M40's got replaced by a new type of mask, and as a result my buddy was ordered to destroy several hundred M40's. He... "misplaced" a few, one of which is now on display on my desk. Out of my twenty gas masks, it's by far my favorite.

This is the one they issued my unit around 1992 or 93. It was a real good mask we liked it. It could be set up for left handed shooters. It gave better visibility. It was alot better for crew served weapons like anti-tank and anti-aircraft missles with the m17 you had problems getting on your sights .. It was also alot better for belt fed machineguns, you could get your cheek right up to the weapon without turning the weapon or your head sidewasy to get on the sights.

Thanks for the info, I wanted one of these for ages but sadly due to the US surplus export ban I had to wait until some turned up in Germany getting resold to evaluate it. I do think the M40 is really good mask, as well as the M9A1 from the late 1940s, it always seemed strange to me that the M9 didn't get a 40mm upgrade during the cold war as lots were still in US military service for units expected to work with chemical weapons.

@@Weaponsandstuff93 it probably wasnt the design that caused the change but the contract.

Interesting that certainly seems to be the case with lots of stuff now, the UK has had a lot of issues where trials were conducted on various services and military equipment then the winner was disregarded anyway for the company that would offer a similar product or service at a far cheaper price, it was the reason the British army has had a lot of equipment recently they've had to sell off and rapidly replace because lots of it wasn't fit for service

Had to pick it up and put it on by the FRAME once you started pushing like 60lbs of load in it. We loved it other than that one weakness.. It was rejected for service.

I just got one of these masks and before checking it out that much I watch this video…after you mentioned the butyl cover I thought I should buy one too, but when I looked at my mask again I realized that it already had one on when I bought it lol

I had the pleasure of using the m40 when I was in the United States Army. Honestly compared to most masks I’ve used it’s easily on par with the Avon fm12 as far as ergonomics are concerned.

We used that when I was in the US Army. Put the harness to the front, so you can push the mask to your face, then pull on the harness. Thats what that little pull tap is for on the harness.

Bought one of these recently as well. I have the A1 version of the second skin that has the chemical hood ridge near the edge of the rubber like the S10.

Well it comes with the blanking plug, so you leave it in.

My unit was still rocking these even thought the rest of the Army was issued the M50. That drinking tube is always gonna be poking you in the lips, but it somehow goes from infuriating to endearing an a weird way. I cant explain it. The second skin may sound absurd, but consider this- it is also a sacrificial layer to help protect the mask from abrasion. Also, in the mid 90's the mask had a slight redesign, followed by a later redesign of the second skin. I suspect that is why yours is not fitting properly at the bottom. Mine fits perfectly, as both it and the mask were made in the 2000's
