Gas mask

[Ranger1]

If you had to pick a gas mask which one would you want. I'm sure everyone here has had one on before. Pros and cons please.

I still have my MCU-2A/P from over 20 years ago. At that time, it was the best option available. The unitary wide view bubble lens was a HUGE improvement for visibility. I liked that I could choose which side the canister would attach,...allowing for a little bit better ability to shoulder a weapon and maybe even use some sights or optic. But the coms plug feature was the best! I need to update my gear and get an adapter so I can use my current dual-bander.

I've been looking at getting the new m50. They r like 400 with all the bells and whistles.

I have 2 or more of the m40. They are ok. Field of vision sucks.

I picked up some of these. They are the mcu-2p gas mask. They are great for vision and you can change the filter around like the m40.

I think the blankets work just fine. Fart there and no one knows.

Bonus is if your pissed at the wife you can direct the off gassing tactically.

I have one as well and still like it. It should still serve its purpose if needed. Could probably use some new filters though.

Yes that and if you train with them , definitely get some rebuild kits for them.

I have a few different masks, but out of the few I have my preference leans more toward my Avon S10. It's not overly bulky like some masks I have used, has a pretty decent field of vision, more comfortable for extended wear IMO (YMMV), and uses easily obtainable/cheap 40mm NATO filters... Between the S10 and the M40 I was issued in the Army, I'd go with the S10. Trying both out in CS gas, the S10 always held a better seal.

P.S. I might also add that I felt shooting (rifles) with the S10 was more comfortable than with the M40.
