M50/M51 Joint Service General Purpose Mask.
It uses a bayonet filter design that can safely be replaced and without the worry of it unscrewing during the heat of the moment. Everything about the M50 / FM50 mask is revolutionary.
The AVON M50 JSGPM is used by all branches of the United States Military, no other mask has served this role until now. I would still REALLY appreciate any feedback anyone has on the M45.Around 80% of people use the medium size of the mask and the small size is hardly used, but still, you need to do a fit test to understand the right size of the mask.Here are a few tips to remember while selecting the mask size for you Whenever you use the mask, you need to inspect the mask thoroughly for any damage or fitting issues.To check if the mask fits you right and a perfect seal has been obtained every time you use the mask, do a negative pressure test to confirm this Cleaning the M50 gas mask is vital for long term effectiveness and in providing the best protection in a hazardous environment. Look for NIOSH N95 on the package the N95 is a government efficiency rating that means the mask blocks about 95 percent of particles that are 0.3 microns in size or larger.Īs I said, Im looking for something Id be able to fight with if I needed to, and while there are some civilian ones with side mounted filters, in my total lack of experience with gas masks, I assumed that a mask used by the military would have all this figured out for me. However it is harder to clear (the ridges on the outlet valve make it hard to seal your palm against it and the curve on the canisters work against you as well) and without the support of the USGI supply system I suspect the mask and its uncommon filters would break the bank.Īll a N95 mask does is keep an infected wearer from spreading as much aerosolized infectious material. The mask is very light and has a great field of view and isnt quite as off balanced as an M40. They are a great mask especially if you can get a great condition one for 50-60. I would imagine you would want some multigas combination cartridges though to deal with any chemical hazards that might arise. Particulate only filters typically dont have a fixed shelf life or service life in use, and are much lower restriction so are easier to breathe through.Īlso for a nuclear hazard, you would probably be disposing of a lot of filters as you wouldnt want to bring the radioactive material in to your shelter location in the filters. As for nuke threats, a respirator, with appropriate filters, and a tyvek outer suit would stand you in good stead, IMHO, and be a LOT cheaper.
