how's it going guys welcome back to the pilot Patriot Channel all right hold on
one second all right now as you can see today we're going to be reviewing a gas
mask this is the mirror safety CM 6 M gas mask and this is far from one of
those old surplus gas masks that you see at the flea market this thing is going
to give you full CBRN protection that's chemical radiological biological and
nuclear this is probably one of the best gas masks on the market that you can get
and there are a lot of reasons why I chose this one to review but before we
get into talking about the gas masks itself if you haven't subscribed to the
channel make sure you hit that subscribe button down below please give us a
thumbs up we'd really appreciate that now let's get right into it now I know
there's a stigma around people that on gas masks you picture the guys from
Doomsday Preppers and things like that but if you ask me it really is a
must-have item if you're into preparedness I like to try to be
prepared for almost anything and having a good gas mask is definitely going to
be part of that list so first let's talk about the design of this thing now as
you can see there's a big difference between this and those old Israeli gas
masks that you always see one thing I love about it is that it's fairly low
profile as far as gas masks go so it's not going to interfere with your
movement and things like that especially when you're shooting and we will do some
shooting in this mask a little bit later and one of the main things I love about
it is the large field of view as you can see this face shield pretty much is as
wide as your whole face it's going to give you a 180 degree field of view it's
also made from an impact resistant polycarbonate material that's really
going to resist breaking and scratching and things like that so you don't have
to worry about compromising the integrity of the mask another really
nice feature that you only see on the high-end gas masks is the drinking tube
so it does have an integrated drinking system and then you can see it has this
little tab here on the bottom so what that's going to do on the inside there
it's going to rotate that drinking tube in front of your mouth so you can drink
from whatever you need to drink from because one thing you definitely don't
want to do you're in a situation where you have to
wear a gas mask you don't want to have to take it off to take a drink or
anything like that so that drinking tube really comes in handy something else
there's usually an add-on item but it actually comes with this mask is the
canteen that works along with this drinking system it's also compatible
with Camelback and other water bladders so that's really nice really convenient
and you can see on the back here that it has this really nice five-point head
harness with tons of adjustment so you make sure it's nice and secure to your
head now going to show you how to put this on there's several different ways
to do this but I'll show you how I do it and how to make sure you have a nice
secure fit so what I like to do is just kind of get both hands in here and put
that mask over like that to make sure then you're getting a really nice tight
seal you also are going to want to go ahead and take a hold of those straps
and pull them back to make sure you have a nice secure tight fit to your face and
now what you should be able to do is to cover up these ports right here and
breathe in and it should just suck to your face there shouldn't be any air
escaping so if you just cover those up you can see that it really just sucks to
the face that lets you know that it's got a nice tight seal is that no
unwanted air is getting in from the edges here other thing I want to note
while I'm thinking about it is that mirror safety does have gas mask options
for children and infants as well if that's something you're concerned with
if you have small children in your family and something else that you might
have noticed is how clearly you can hear me while I had the gas mask on obviously
you're not hearing me as clear as you are right now but this mask has a
built-in speech diaphragm that's going to make it a lot easier to hear you so
you can communicate with other people while you're wearing the mask that's
something that with a lot of other gas masks you don't get when as soon as you
put that mask on nobody can understand anything you're saying
so that built-in speech type friend is another really nice feature you know
another thing about the construction of this mask is that it is made with a
bromine butyl rubber this is going to be very resistant to all those chemical
compounds that you're going to be concerned about when you're wearing a
gas mask it's also what gives you that really nice tight seal one other concern
that you may have with a gas mask is worrying about it fogging up
that's not something you have to worry about with the mirror
as you can see on the inside here it's got this full rubber piece here that's
going to cover your nose and your mouth and make sure that all the air that
you're inhaling and exhaling is coming down out of these ports and not going up
and fogging that mask so you're gonna have a nice clear field of view no
matter what now talking about the filter ports it does have two ports on both
sides here so you have the option of running your filter on one side or the
other or you could possibly run it with two filters if you wanted to that's
going to allow you to keep the mask on longer without having to change filters
and things like that if you are wearing two two would also allow you to breathe
a little bit easier because you're pulling in air from two different areas
if you are only going to be using one canister it does have this plastic cap
hit that you're going to put on to seal whatever side you're not wearing your
canister own something that you may want to be thinking about is if you're gonna
be shooting you want to make sure that you put the canister on the opposite
side so it's not going to interfere with your shoulder and your rifle now this
will accept all standard NATO 40 millimeter canisters but something that
mirror safety has done this just revolutionary is they've come out with
their own filter here it is going to give you full CBRN NBC protection but
what's different about this canister most of them that you find are gonna
have a 5 to 7 year shelf life this canister buy mirror safety has a 20 year
shelf life so just like all preparedness items you want to be able to set them
and forget them until you need them and not have to worry about going in and
changing them out so stock up on these mirror safety CBRN filters and these
things are gonna last you pretty much a lifetime as long as you keep them sealed
up and store them in a cool dry place now this gas mask is used by militaries
and law enforcement all across the world so you know it's a good product you know
something I do want to point out is that it doesn't have the certifications to be
used by the United States military but that's not something I'm really
concerned about and it does meet the en 1:36 1998 class three requirements and
all that really means is that it is a good product it is going to do what it
says it's going to do and you get all that for a very affordable price a gas
mask of this quality with these kind of features is usually going to run you
upwards of three hundred dollars or more this one you're going to be
to get Forfar under that and I will link to as many of these things as I can in
the description below now let's really test this thing out we're gonna set off
some smoke grenades we're gonna get out here on the range and do a little rifle
shooting with this mask on so you can see how that works so stick around
alright guys and I hope you like this video I hope it helped you out if you're
in the market for a good gas mask you cannot go wrong with the mirror safety
