But it tore my lungs up the next couple days. We have the new 53’s (one filter, 40mm NATO standard) but I prefer the M50’s. Dual filters, easier to strip and clean and much cheaper. Unless you’re in a NATO apocalypse you should be fine. Put one on and go do some chores, go for a jog, whatever. Just get used to using one.

Wouldn't surprise me if in the next year they tear gas a church, because why not? Qualified immunity, not like its going to matter to them, and they still won't be as bad as a Uvalde cop.

My dad was a industrial hygienist so he had gas mask and needed to test them often. He had this testing kit that would blow tear gas out a glass tube so you can test the seal and filter of your gas mask. You would break the end off thee tube and attach a rubber ball thing like on a clown horn. You would then squeeze the ball and tear gas comes blowing out the tube. As a kid it was fun getting my hands on it with my friends. We for sure learned how much it sucks to breath it in and get the gas in your eyes. I would stand in my shed wearing a gas mask and then pump as much tear gas into the sealed shed as possible. Buddies would try and stay in the shed as long last one wins. It was good times, till my buddie went home with his face swollen to hell, eyes swollon shut that my dad got a very angry call from his mom and shut it down real quick.

Great point that CS gas tends to spread. I spent a year living on an Army base and they used to rent out sections of the base to the local PD for training purposes. One night we got a heads up”Hey guys, the PD is doing riot training tonight and they’re gonna be popping off tear gas, so you might wanna close your windows”.

When I worked in corrections, we'd have to occasionally use an OC phantom fogger for cell extractions, and compared to the standard OC/CS grenades we usually used the size of the particles were vastly different. The phantom particles were way smaller and had a higher concentration of PPB. That would bypass our gasmasks constantly leading us to have to extract a guy while also hacking up our lungs ourselves. After this happened 9 times, they finally got us better filters so we wouldnt be filling our masks with snot and tears anymore.

I really like the FM 54s but they are close to a thousand bucks. Mira Safety is awesome too, and affordable for certain people.

I remember when I was in the (Serbian) army, they issued us M2 gas masks. Then we had exercises where those dudes threw tons of tear gas on us. They threw some small canisters a lot like those you used in the video, but they also had some big ones, like a beer keg... All field was full of tear gas. My mask didn't fit 100% so I did feel a slight smell of the gas, but nothing more than that, literally 0 problems. However, dumb as I am, I wanted to feel what's it like to inhale tear gas, so I briefly removed my mask... Let's just say that isn't an experience I would recommend... I do remember that particular mask created a lot of issues if you were running with it; you simply wouldn't get enough air and felt as if suffocating, but removing it in a cloud of tear gas was also not a great idea, as previously established...

apart from the mentioned problems gt mentioned, the most important aspects is that, when you are purchasing for those items, they are more likely to be manufactured in line with cosplay category rather than military/militia grade requirements, despite any advertisement they may put up on the sales page/pictures. and only if you know your way around, you can get quality items with cheap deals, just like ebay.

Purge your mask instead of ripping it off in the cloud. Fight through the panic and discomfort. Practice up drills with the rifle shouldered a little higher and canted to the left to reduce or eliminate a cheek weld. You will be tempted to press your cheek harder into the buttstock to get a good sight picture but that will break your seal and youre straight up not gonna have a good time. This is less of an issue with an optic riser. Limit the gear attached around where your filter will be so you can look down towards that direction or duck your head without breaking the seal. Try to breath out through your nose as much as possible to prevent fogging. If your junk fogs up, exhale a little harder through the vent like youre blowing out a candle to help exhaust some of the moist air trapped. Do more cardio.

Charles makes me laugh 😂. Love it when you all are together in the video

My buddy drove around base with a gas mask because he thought his car had an exhaust leak. MPs were not amused and pulled him over and told him to stop. This video brought a rush of laughter as I reminded of this

Would love a part 2 on surplus store specials like the M10, GP5 and other eastern block surplus masks. Of course, only the ones that don't have spicy fibers in their filters.

@Frankthetank123098 Lots of old Combloc gas mask filters use asbestos. Asbestos is very good at clearing air pollutants, but the problem with asbestos is it causes a myriad of health problems if inhaled for extended periods of time.

Hell yea one last Garand Thumb video before I ship to basic training LETS GOOOO!!!

Fun fact if you are issued a gas mask (especially reserves) look up the serial number on the filter. When I was in looked mine up out of boredom can’t really remember exactly but it was either listed as wayy expired or something else but it was not serviceable.

Thank you flannel dad and team for getting lung cancer to educate us! 🙌

Honeywell 6500 RU with the defender cartridges are semi cheap and very effective. They also have perscription eyeglass inserts that are integrated, this prevents a compromised seal due to glasses.

Good episode and great list John. The noteable missing location is Titon. Yes its cryogenic but the lakes of liquad methan may contain life that is not as we know - silicon based?

Funny how you were noticeably more confident walking into the cs gas with the military mask compared to all the others. Experience clearly trusting your equipment. Lowest bidder for the win I guess.

You're awesome guys.

Mira makes prescription glasses inserts for their masks. They stay with the masks. I used to work in a chemical plant with a full face respirator in 120 degree heat doing manual labor. My biggest thing is make sure you clean your mask, they will absolutely grow mold. Learn to take it apart and make sure you have tons of spare parts.

My Dad was a hazmat driver for years and needed to keep a gas mask at hand for obvious reasons - was bucking the company on having a beard and his solution for sealing a mask around facial hair was he tossed a small thing of petroleum jelly inside the mask itself. In a rapid emergency he could just cinch the mask on tight, if he had a moment to do so he would just slather on the petroleum jelly.

I hated the gas mask during my military service. It made everything more difficult, it was harder to see and during summer time it was hot af. The tear gas training was fun though as was the "going through a burning building" exercise. We only practiced on how to seal it yourself because during an active gas attack, you have to put on the mask lightning fast.

Can you guys re-do this but shooting drills while in the tear gas? Would be nice to see clearing a room while tear-gas is active with gas mask! Love you content watch everyday

The Cm-7m gasmask, aka the one from Tennant, has a narrower field a vision but is far superior for using magnified optics. Its actually what that style is meant for, having the two individual eye pieces recessed like that. It allows for you to get the scope much closer to your eye. Panoramic style masks like the other styles yall had are superior for holos and red dots, but do not work with most magnified optics. If your running in a squad that has a designated marksmen, you would want him using the Cm-7m so he can actually use a scope, while the rest of you use panoramic masks for a superior fov and target acquisition. That's just my 2 cents, I have no military background or nothin, just like studying history and tactics. I also own a Cm-7m that I got for $80 in pristine condition from a milsurp store as "issued." From what I hear, Mira gets them from the Czech military and refurbishes them, so there won't be any real difference with one you get from mira and one imported from the Czech republic. Its definitely not a bad mask, but isn't the best either, but its better than having nothing for sure, as I live in a big city, and with things going the way they are, a riot ain't an unlikely occurrence.

Pretty much any gas mask that seals will work against tear gas. even if the filter is expired (and was originally of high quality). Tear gas is a particulate. The thing with milsurp gas masks is if they are made of a rubber that degrades quickly you would not want to use it against corrosive threats. Its been a while since I researched it but Butyl is one of the best rubbers for a milsurp mask to be made of because its very chemical resistant and degrades slowly

Former CBRN specialist 74D and current Hazmat technician. If you have facial hair you’re afraid will not allow a good seal I learned a trick from a spec ops guys to ensure you have a good seal. All you have to do is apply a good amount of Vaseline to the mask around the edges that creates the seal and you have a guaranteed seal . Obviously if you’re conventional military like I was then facial hair isn’t normally an issue as there are few instances where you can have facial hair

If you get exposed to tear gas DO NOT RUB YOUR FACE OR EYES

Was curious about that cause you can’t have an objective test of the masks themselves if they used different filters. Same filters should’ve been used on all masks if possible.
