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
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?
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.
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?
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 😄
@@botstowo U know everytime I got resistance, I just quit, afraiding broke the mask and got yelled by serge🤣 BTW the amount of resistance is counter intuitive, for good reason though, but there's no official instructions
@@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

That's really useful context! Thanks for posting!
Your videos keep getting better and you sound really confident. Keep up the good work!
"For those with special needs" sounds perfect for me then
My mom said I’m very special 😌

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

Awesome video! so the FM54 is basically the same thing but heat rated?
Thank you Sir for your video. I have a question do you know where to buy in europe a PAPR (not MIRA SAFETY) for my gasmask.
Thank you for your help 🙏🏻

That's a great idea! I might do that!
I went and made the video!

800?
Jesus think I got mine for 200 in 2019.
Yeah, post-covid pricing is awful. I got mine for around $300
They cost 1100€ in EU
Does it have a date stamp?
Should be located within the mask on the cheek/upper jaw area of the face blank.
Very Gucci
Wow
