It does not protect from NBC ( nuclear, boi, chemical,) i think it only protects from dust and teargass o_O

@aza9825 It doesn't protect you from aliens nor from armor-piercing bullets. It is an activated charcoal filter so it protects from all kinds of chemicals and toxins. It is also a particulate filter, so it filters out biological and radiological particles, except for the smallest particles. It is not perfect but it provides a great deal of protection from all kinds of threats (except those aforementioned.)

u know if they make international ship?

[thenewsurvivalist]

@TheJebus88 No they don't but surplus gear is available in many countries. Look around.

Do not have a beard when using gas masks. If you do, the gas you are trying tp protect yourself from will leak through your beard and the mask.

Hey Doc, Good video as usual. Just one point tho,you probably know this,facial hair of more than 24 hrs.growth decreases the effectivness of the mask because it wont seal properly against the skin. Just in case some didn't know. Looks like you and I are in trouble. LMAO : )

I have 1 of these I was wondering where to get some more filters thanks

[musicguy998]

Your beard gets in the way. It won't seal your mask and and your lens will fog.

@thenewsurvivalist Hi I heard they ship fast? How was yourrs?

[glynamus]

they are a pain to wear but worth it when CS or worse is in your breathing air. i would say get new flutters if this one has them. its a thin rubber diaphram. i went with m 15 military mask. the only thing that worries me is how outdated all of them are. i mean when they was made. would be nice to be able to get 2012 manufactor filters at least. the cost of the fancy gasmask out there is mind numbing high. great vid, thankyou
