MSA MCU-2/P and Gas Mask VPU Review

Not so much of a review, more of just telling about the mask. But in case you guys are dying for my opinion, I think this is possibly one of the coolest masks ever made. Its comfortable, its lightweight, it has a great field of vision, and is just overall an astounding mask. Also, I know you guys cant hear too well on the video when I am speaking through the VPU but it is very clear in person. And sounds a lot like the combine ;)

@keleenorion I have one

Ricky, where is the best place to buy one of the MCU-2/P masks? I have tried eBay but to no avail, could you possibly tell me a few other websites (that will ship to Australia) that may have these masks in stock? Also a price range would be nice too. Thnks in advance.

[rickyleoadams]

@ReturnFearProject email me at rickyleoadams@hotmail.com I can sell you one of mine possibly.

Actually I was thinking (having nightmarish flashbacks actually) of douchebag diggit first classes who were the only people who ever had those goddamn speaker attachments. It didn't make any sense either, as they were always drill coordinators or something and didn't actually need to be heard while wearing the damn things in the engine room during CBR GQ drills.  You also need to learn how to put the thing on properly and get it fitted.

@phatsakk43 Interesting information! And yes I know how to properly don and clear a mask. But seeing as my house is not a chemical warzone, I focus more on just simply throwing it on haha.

Nice vid. Where did u get it?

[FortitudeOfHeaven]

@aza9825 If you have a good NBC filter for it. N and B but not C. The MCU2P's flaw was that it was made of silicone rubber on the outside, which can corroded by chemwarfare like blister agents unlike butyl or Hycar rubber (like MSA's newer Millennium or Advantage 1000 for CBRN). Some MCUs also have a problem with the adhesive on the visor disbonding, letting in outside air. And also the visor yellowing sometimes. This is still a great mask, just don't get showered with chemical agents.

[aza9825]

So NBC protection with the mask?

@rickyleoadams make a review on it

[Chuckq1]

@rickyleoadams I have one also picked it up for 5 dollars (2004 model). But it Needs parts where do you shop?

I'd also like to see a comparison between the MCU-2/P and the Fr-M40.

can you put the VPU on the Fr-M40?

[maximusdecimus100]

@baconreffic yes and paintball too they are quite strong

[apt95]
