    The m53 switched to those buckles since there were concerns that the plastic buckles would break, which sometimes occurred when the m50 was being fielded

    Do you know which adapter you need to connect to a Source hydration bladder ?

    • @botstowo
      @botstowo  Рік тому

      The FM53 uses a Type A adaptor. I'm not familiar with Source's product line so I don't know if they offer a Type A adaptor.

    Iam looking into getting one. I want something that will be compatible with helmet and NVG'S will the c50 fm50 and fm54 all work? Or would it be best to buy the fm54 since it's made for special operations?

    I always have problems installing the lenses, finding the side mount points. Therefore, mine is like one point mounted and always fall off. And there is no tutorial in the UA-cam. Would you please make a short tutorial and I am pretty sure all service members wearing glasses will thank you 😄

      @@TheCapitalist_read_Das_Kapital Yeah lol I'm not a big fan of the design. Like it's super secure when you get it right but holy hell is it a pain in the ass. You're right, it's very counter intuitive

    I saw on another comment where you said you have no intention of reviewing a SGE 400/3 BB because of the price. I just found your channel and was really hoping that you’d have that video. Would you say it’s over priced? Is there a better option for someone who just wants a no shit, emergency mask to get for their family that’s currently available?

    • @botstowo
      @botstowo  Рік тому +1

      They actually lost their NIOSH approval for not meeting their standards. I more don't want to review it because I'm mainly a collector and I don't really want one for my collection. Would feel like a waste of money to me.
      What I'd recommend for most people is a C50. It's is designed well and works perfectly. However, on more of a budget, I'd recommend an M40. On an extreme budget, the Israeli 4A1 works well as long as you don't try to use its drinking system.

      Should be located within the mask on the cheek/upper jaw area of the face blank.

    hey if you were a special forces group and money was of no concern and you needed to wear a CBRN gas mask and you were fighting in tight enclosed spaces what gas mask/gas mask setup would you use and why?
