@@Chief556. I think there's actually a middle road here. You can be chunky and still pretty fit cardiovascularly. If you're talking seal team operations, yeah, don't be fat. If you're talking survival, having a few extra calories stored on your person isn't necessarily a terrible thing
This is a paid video, WeaponsandStuff93 specialises in gas masks. He recommends avion FM12 or Forsheda and a few others. I’m disappointed that we have another paid video promoting Mira.
I've used a variety of chemical protective masks in the past 15 years due to my work. The two most commonly used have been the M40 and the Avon C50. Military personnel (especially Chem Corp) will be very familiar with the M40. I did like it, but I always found myself having to look at closer objects by turning my strong eye to it because of the two eye rings. The C50 was a huge improvement for my work and removed that need to cock my head to the side to see what I was doing. I haven't worked with any of the ones you mentioned but would definitely be up for a comparison between the 7 and 8. The 6 reminds me a lot of the SCBA masks we used and I like the fit of them but the forward set of the lense has always made me bang stuff into it. It all comes down to user comfort level with the equipment. What I like and prefer isn't always going to be what Colion likes and prefers, but as long as we can get the job done, that's what counts. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the amazing work you do.
@@thegeth4293 I think you have about as much luck with that as you do with getting your nose to not need scratched as soon as you get everything "comfortable" and move into the warm zone😂
@@alexsparks5596 would it help to ditch the ACH and get a high cut helmet? I know big army still uses the full cuts, but how can they stand wearing it with a gas mask for hours?
One other thing to look for in any Pro-mask is: Can it fit a prescriptive insert? I wear glasses. I'm legally blind without them. Contacts and Lasik surgeries are not an option due to corneal scarring from debris. The M40 mask I used in the service had a fairly effective insert system that never fogged up and I could see quite well with it. "What does the mask I want to purchase have for optic inserts?" should be a question any purchaser has. Eventually you'll need glasses. Plan ahead.
Mira has a $229 pair a glasses that install in the mask. But I don't plan on using this mask often (maybe ever) If I do need it. Will my prescription be the same? The problem with normal glasses and a mask is that it may not seal properly, which could be a problem. You could get a second cheap pair of glasses and cut back section of frames off. The part that wraps around the ears. I might just use my previous glasses with this, since the script doesn't change that much. I can make do with it should something happen.
Youd like the c50, their optic inserts are widely available due to them being standard issue in the us mil and i quite like them, they are not cheap though
M50 or M51 all the way. Current service use mask. You can find a few places to get them. Around $250 so not bad for a currently fielded item if you have the money.
If covid has taught me anything, it's that heavy duty masks are unnecessary. A paper thin, disposable mask or face shield is all you need for maximum protection.
Yes! As the cdc and NIH state, all one needs is a sheer piece of cloth covering the nose and mouth to protect against the smallest and most deadly particles and viruses known to man.
@@agmsmith4079 c'mon man, we all know with 2 shots and a booster, you're immune to all forms of airborne threat. It also makes you more attractive, and buys you 50k worth of stocks, but you didn't hear that from me...
I used the M-17;gas mask when I was in the US Army. Regardless of which mask you use just cant the rifle a little to your face. You can still look through the rear a front iron sights. Red dots are no problem. Just cant/tilt the rifle towards your eye. Even though you are canting you rifle you will still hit your target at ranges up to 400 meters. Get the mask that fits best. And change those filters.
This is an extremely well-made video. All three masks look great. If I had to choose one I think it would be the CM-8M. The CM-7M mask seems like it would limit your field of view, but honestly, the CM-7M makes the wearer look more intimidating. Maybe that's one reason why the Czech army uses it, it has a fear element against its opponent. As for the CM-6M, it looks like it provides the best field of view and it is used in the movie Tenet. But the clip that is used from the Tenet movie in this video was not the CM-6M, that mask was used later in the movie. The gas mask that was shown in this video was the MSA Advantage 1000, another mask that looks cool, especially how it was shown at the beginning of the Tenet movie. My question is if the MSA Advantage 1000 has any problems with it fogging up during use?
I don't even live "in the city" and I have a few MP5s with quite a few FP-3 filters (some are vacuum-sealed for long term storage). They're relatively cheap, but the filter comes out the front, allowing for ambidextrous tactics. Field of view is phenomenal.
MP-5? Like the Polish Maskpol gasmask? Or the French one? Got a Polish MP-4 we call it Bulldog. It's simmilar to American M17 but a bit like Czech M-10 as well. Civilan MP-5 is called MT-213. Its exactly the same.
@@HanSolo__ Do you keep the cheek filters in all the time or what? I got an M10M for multiple reasons (display mostly, I also have a couple other masks I have for the ready), but I'm not really sure how one would store an M10/MP-4 if you wanted to keep it in your car (like I do with another mask in case of a "peaceful protest" where I'm stuck trapped in my car). I would think jamming in filters wouldn't be practical for defense (totally fine for ambush, you pick when to start as opposed to react), so I wonder if you can pack the filters then vacuum seal bag the whole mask like beef jerky if that would work?
Dont let Colion's usage of his laser aimer go unnoticed. Running a gas mask and helmet really gets in the way of your optics and especially your iron sights. Having an aiming laser is a very good solution and I'm going to say that it is a necessary addition to your rifle.
These are insanely overpriced above market value and worth, also rebrands (Mira doesn't actually make any of these, period). There are both significantly better masks at less price, or similarly as nice at 1/8 the cost. I'm not sure why anyone would pick these other than ignorance of other mask options, especially at that really high price tag there are better options, but I'm not saying don't buy a mask, there are just much better masks at the same price. Also from what I've seen (Demo Ranch vid recently), these particular masks in this vid don't seal worth $hit for most people (it could also be demo ranch is incompetent but most masks have size options, some like these do not and unfortunately "one size fits all" is about like shoes, one size does NOT fit all). Not my money, I'm also not selling any, I just hate seeing people get ripped off.
@@jakegarrett8109 Price is the same in europe, at the exception of the inner Czech market. So it is not Mira's issue ... Any pro respirator or gasmask is at 200 and often 300/400€ /$ ...
@@anitaleroy9442Mira are scammers, period. If I am to export an OM-90 from Canada to Europe (the price of the mask being equal to the exporting fee !) it'll still be cheaper than Mira's CM-7M (which is a renamed OM-90) mask alone and on sale. It's scummy. Same for their "CM-8M" which is a renamed OM-2020, made by GuZu in Czech Republic that their army didn't adopt yet. No such thing as "Pro gas mask" unless you refer to Scott Pro (owned by 3M now) gas masks and filters which are nice ones. It depends on the use and who you are. Getting a gas mask over 100 bucks is getting ripped off unless you're collector looking for specific items.
I have the 7M and I’m a shotty guy personally but it works well with a AR as well. Well worth the price tag. Filters are rated for nuclear as well. I also got some Potassium Iodide Tablets.
Personally I shoot with the M50 Gas mask the US Army uses... "tactically acquired" from a guy on another base with some in spec filters and my experience is pretty mixed but its one I use on the duty side of things and I like to stay consistent. Great field of view but works poorly with other issued equipment like the current ACH, but when done right works well with PVS 14s if you don't mind having the chin stap extra long or buckled at all.
Can confirm on all points Colin made. I have the 6m and 7m. You can't get a site picture with standard mounts using the 6m. But the tear away visor savors are awesome.
@@calebbarry3977 Its been delayed until they can figure out a few more things with it. Colion got a demo mask just to review. I've been emailing Mira Safety back and forward and they do not have a determined date yet for the CM-8M. Hope this helps
@B I have a CM-7M and my wife has a CM-6M. The world will be over by the time the CM-8M releases... Stock up on filters and ammo things are going to get interesting.
@@SHOGUNTHEIMPERIAL I got lucky when I bought it almost 10 years ago, got the VPU, 4 CBRN filters, mirror lens and ptescription lens holder for free, I see this package nowadays going for over $2,000 due to the pandemic craze!
Be careful there is a lot of Chy-na junk out there. We used 3M full face which was super comfy, had plenty of variety of filters. They're not super cheap being made in USA. The cheap ones on Ebay/Amazon are Chy-na rip offs. The rubber and plastic parts are sub-par material and poor fit. Area around eye shield has lots of spots to leak if you get a crap Chy-na one, plus the visor material is more prone to scratching. My only issue is trying to sight even if the right filter is off and hole sealed. With an AR I can make it work with high scope mounts and rotating the rifle a bit. So I use a good heavy duty green laser with pressure switch to help. I live by a main rail line which has all kinds of stuff going by. So being 200 feet from a potential chemical train wreck makes me think about everyday disaster scenarios more than civil disorder, although civil disorder can happen in many places when you least expect it. 3M is not the only quality mask maker but I was very familiar with it from work. There are some excellent ones made in Europe. BUT....one caution....watch out for proprietary filter fittings and a good brand should have more than one type of filter.
my favorite is PMG Nerekhta (gas mask zh-12) glass - as close to the eyes as possible, a filter on the side, there are cutouts on top for moisture removal, etc., there are also straps to keep it well, blowing air for the lenses, I spent 6 and a half hours with average visibility and GP-7k filter, an excellent mask even today
Still rocking my M-40 but to date, no one has lobbed any CS cans through my window (yet). Spare filters and skins are a boost, but I only wore the M50 a few times before I retired. Might grab one before the Rittenhouse verdict comes out.

Oh you can get better than these for much less. If you can't afford something nicer like an Avon S10 (about half the price of these, but better), then you can probably get an Israeli mask for $40 (price includes shipping in the US) on sites of your pick. Personally I spent even less on the one I keep in my car (about $25, I'd still pick it over the one in the vid), so you've got loads of options. Warning though if you're buying old Warsaw pact masks (which I don't recommend because they use 40mm GOST and not 40mm NATO threads) then get the modern Russian filters (the old filters contain asbestos). Anyways, you don't need a lot of money for superior gear, cheers!
The first setup I was trained on was the M-16A2 HBAR equipped with an AN/PVS 4 paired up with the lovely M17 mask. It was clumsy as Hell. You had to turn the weapon nearly sideways to line up a shot. That 40lb. tuxedo didn't help much either.
Guys, I've owned countless gas masks of all varieties. I can tell you now MIRA is just refitted surplus with a huge price tag. The best mask I've come across yet is the British FM12, I wear red night lenses on mine (see my picture). Great cheek weld, no leaks, ambidextrous filter reservoir, and very easy to adjust.
Exactly... I'm amazed his advertising is this widespread, but if you have such insane profit margin from a few suckers born every minute, well I guess you can hire everyone to advertise for you (and I'm not calling Colion a shill nor Demo Ranch, they probably just don't know much on the topic). Could have fooled me on the mask though, that looked like an Avon S10, lol! If its similar that should be nice (I want to die the glass lense covers on a couple of mine, looks pretty easy but you probably got the premium $80 covers and not doing some ghetto stuff like I plan, lol!)
For those negative comments here, NYC Subway Authority had a ONE WEEK LONG “practice gas attack” at all the major subway lines in NYC. Inert gas. Right. You know what that means.
I think the mask in the movie used the MSA millennium or advantage 1000, which is a better brand But in this nowadays, AVON is what people should go for, the fm54 & fm53 is just amazing
Correct, the mask in Tenet was the MSA Millenium. I own one and have used it for some shooting training and it is a pretty comfortable. I do recommend a riser for your optic as the cheek weld is better than the Mira CM-6M, but not as tight as the Mira CM-7M.
From a person that has to be able to wear a gas mask, shoot effectively and perform tasks in hostile environments , I have found that a mask with a one piece optic is far better. Also a little hint, put rain x on the outside of you mask and anti fog on the inside. If you get paint or something else thrown on your face it will literally fall off immediately. It’s NOT about looks when you got to actually use it Colion, you know this !
Good advice, I used Rain X a lot on motorcycle helmets, may vary well have saved my life (rode year round, also seemed to prevent icing). I think on the inside they use some kind of wax or grease (depends on the era of the mask), I think you can also use Vaseline (which also works for sealing beard hair in a mask too if its short). Definitely coat the lenses BEFORE the action when its too late!
CM-7M is a clone of the Check OM90 which is a cheep and effective clone of The Avon S10 and goes for around 50USD Mira are getting unopened stock and re-selling it The best mask right now is still the FM53/54 due to flexibility and FOV with comms and the whole one mask suits all systems due to the switchable pressure value system. But what's funny this is the minimum for virus and contaminate protection and yeet press use paper mask with a real one ''just for tear gas'' 😂 But you have to keep in mind Avon masks are what police/military now all use in the USA easier to get replacements and parts if there is a massive supply in the region.
@@masonmainpage4105 Yup surplus standard issue Czech clone gear at drastically higher costs, just slapping another name on it and selling it as premium and current gen.
@@jimmyvaughan4213 hopefully theyre just stockpiling got military purchase and waiting until the majority or all of it is done until they release it to the civilian/LEO market
Just spoke to Mira about this. They explained that they're still working on design issues. Don't expect a release until next year sometime....hopefully.
Personally, I'm not much of a Mira Safey fan. Sure their masks are quality since they literally are supplying Czech government surplus masks. Though, I much more enjoy what Avon Protection has to offer for masks. Sure you can't really get the masks straight from Avon themselves, but you can easily get them nos or lightly used from third party sources. Not to mention the masks are very comfortable and modern yet simple to maintain/operate. A good example of what I mean by modern yet simple is the C50. These are exactly the same as the US military issue FM50s but with 40mm intakes on it instead. They have a comms port and rotary drinking tube assembly built in and keep complex parts to a minimum. So personally, I much more prefer Avon Protection over Mira when it comes to masks.
Czech army stuff is a good choice. The 8M mask gives you a much better FOV, some masks feel like you can't see the ground, which is sometimes nice to look at.
I'd pick a different mask though (cheaper and better options exist). But yes, I keep a mask in my car just in case, doubt I'll ever need it but you never know (kind of like my seatbelt, hope I never need it but its there)
Avon s10 is one you should try and get your hands on, they have lense covers that allow for better vision under different situations and a one outsert that prevents blinding from flash bangs, they also have an mic that mounts the gas masks diaphragm for better speech, and coms communication and its very similar to the 07 mask
I use an Israeli 4A1 (Israeli Civilian) mask, it’s the same as the military version minus the voicemitter for a fraction of the price and is a damn good mask, complete with a very well designed drinking tube and it’s UNIVERSAL FIT for adults so no guess work. My only complaint is that it’s a bit tight around my jaw but not terribly so. My second favorite is actually my old Soviet GP-5, it’s crude but very comfortable (better than the 4A1), and both masks have a good seal (I have tested them with banana oil ampules). (Note: Some GP-5s can use the Israeli filters and some cannot, it’s luck of the draw, if yours can it’s a good mask, if it can’t than it sucks because then you have to use Russian GOST filters which are unobtainium as non surplus and the surplus ones are unsafe to use)
@@mahreeohhhh There's a lot of places, Ebay has a bunch of sellers (I assume you're talking about the 4A1, but they have pretty much anything you could want). So just check your favorite places, like even Amazon has GP5's and stuff, locally check your mil-surp place because they probably got one or might have something else good. Take your pick!
Extremely useful. I was too close for comfort at "mostly peaceful" demonstration last year and my painting respirator didn't work with me shooting a defensive rifle.
I would pick a different mask though, these are severely over-priced and not the best for the money. But yes, I have a cheap mask in my passenger seat at the ready just for "mostly peaceful protests" too because that is one concern (ideally I would also have a Mr Smith and Mr Wesson as my body guards, but its illegal to keep even a flintlock in my car for defense so best I can do is a mask until they inevitably try to ban those too even though all year they've been telling people to wear masks and this week I'll be forced to wear a muzzle that's not even chemical/biological rated like proper NBC masks are rated for, but I digress...) Not a terrible idea to have something and not need it, rather than need it but not have it.
@@AdventureswithaaronB I mean you say that, but the FCC required me to get a free speech license (illegal for commercial use) for things not on paper (so 2.4 Ghz for example is under my licensed band, which I use 2.4 Ghz WiFi, so don't think they won't require a free speech license for internet comments for everyone, and you'll still get censored...) I agree you SHOULDN'T have to have a permission slip (priveledge if it can be denied, and you shouldn't have to ask otherwise its clear its designed so they can deny some people), but the sad fact is pigs will kill you just for owning what they themselves carry on their hip...
@@jakegarrett8109 I like the options of wrap around goggle type masks as opposed to the smaller eye pieces. I'm of course going to exercise due diligence before I purchase a new mask. I like the option to offset the filter to one side.
@@christinepearson5788 Yeah, I did notice my center filter MC-1 was just as easy to aim down sights as my left side filter GP-7V (that surprised me). But those both have round eye lenses so its not ideal because part of your vision is narrower if you're using only 1 eye (which you really don't need to, but if you're trying to be super precise I usually close one eye for shots). It probably varies on the length of pull some though or where exactly your sights are. Those were just 2 masks with center vs left filter with similar viewing lens for comparison sake, I'm not suggesting either just being specific on the test data example.
I had a cm7 and it's great for large faces and heads. It got stolen from my car. Wore it shopping and worked great. No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.
As czech im proud to see our stuff being used and loved for they quality, it gives me the tiny hope for my even tinier patriotism. Fun Fact : CM stands for "Civilní Maska" when translated "Civil Mask" and like russian stuff, the designation "M" stands for "Modernised". I would like to own one, cuz it's safe (no asbestos, chromium) and actually still useable, but the price is, at least for me, too much. So for as "if I had to buy one", I would go for CM 4. You can use GOST and even NATO filters (Some sources claim that, but someone factczech me). There is hidden tresure called MOF-1/4 filters, which shouldn't contain asbestos (as the maker "Sigma" says), but I would only trust MOF-3 and MOF-4, as after 1975, ČSSR army stoped using asbestos in filters. Posílám pozdrav z česka!
Yeah these are severely overpriced rebrands. That S10 is nice but pricey (still way cheaper than these over-inflated ones). I keep a cheap MC-1 in my car with modern filter simply because I can slap it on in about 2 seconds plus maybe 3 seconds more to pop the filter caps and install (though I'm interested in getting a GP5 to since those are rediculously fast to install). Not that long ago was playing some COD drinking Vodka through a GP-7v, lol! No Step!
the cm7 mask is the same exact mask as the OM90. Mira just re sells factory made ones for almost triple the price of a surplus om90, if you are on a budget just buy an om90, it is litteraly the same exact mask
Thanks I literally just put gas mask on my realistic "to do" list and off of my "wish" list and plan to buy 3 total for me and my kids. So thanks again because I was about to research which one to get and I watch all your videos and also use them for info anytime I'm adding something to the safe. Let's Go Brandon!!!
Do make sure to do that research and not get one of these. These are insanely overpriced above market value and worth, these are also rebrands. There are both significantly better masks at less price, or similarly as nice at 1/8 the cost. One budget example people like are $40 Israeli gas masks (a country where they might actually get gassed a few times, so they need those to work), but that might not be my first pick.

If you just want a starting suggestion some channels like Weaponsandstuff93 cover the basics of masks and what to look for like Tissot tube defoggers, and he covers everything from $25 mask options like the very basic MC-1 I keep in my car (or for not much more my soviet masks which I would still pick over the ones in the vid but that's a low standard), or something nice like his favorite for example is the Avon S10 which is about half the price and which these are sometimes considered clones of but still inferior to. Make sure whatever you get that it fits well, thankfully with most other masks they have size charts (measure like chin strap, then around forehead, very easy). If you do pick something like a Warsaw pact masks (they work and they look really cool) make sure to get modern Russian filters for them since the originals contained asbestos (a lot of masks like one of mine was a $40 soviet mask and came with a modern style filter but you might want several filters), though I recommend getting NATO nation masks because the filters are easier to find (40mm NATA vs 40mm GOST, they do sell adaptors but I don't suggest using adaptors) for all your NBC needs (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical, that's the standard filter most quality masks come with, and yes there is nothing wrong with a $25 mask as long as it seals well and has Tissot tubes that's all you really need. Like I said I keep one of those in my car because its extremely fast to put on and works). Anyways, good luck, I don't sell masks or anything I just hate seeing people get ripped-off. Cheers!
Parameters to chose the mask : which hazard ? budget ? type of face .size. then think to size. weight Bulky?, tough (panoramic visors are prone to scratches), important easy to breath through and comfort (Mira's Czech masks are very easy to breath through, mainly if fitted with twin filters). Added speech diaphragm, liquid tube, ... For kids, no masks at the exception of the ex soviet last range (they work) and Israeli models. GP5 go to teens size, difficult to find. Some chinese copies.
I'd love to wear that for airsoft. Thailand's law is the problem here though, if the government catch you/me the civilian owning a military gas mask, they'll arrest you 5 years in jail for carrying a 'war weapon' which is only a god damn gas mask and not a gun or explosives.
I have both the CM-7M and the CM-6M ( multiple of each ). The CM-8M is not available to the general public yet as it is being re-worked based on input from the first beta testers.
Great vid. Id add that those who want the extra field of vision can still get an aesthetically pleasing (killer warrior visage) by wearing their fave skull face mask, or combat camo paint underneath.
I've got a surplus soviet PMG mask. Nice supple rubber body, very soft and pliable as it goes over the head, but the face is a bit stiffer. It can accept GOST threaded filters and many NATO filters as well, due to a rubberized coating on the threads inside the mask, helping for a better seal. Its got a voice diaphragm, and forward facing, flat eye glass for better vision. Works great when shouldering a rifle. They're made with filters on either left or right side, and you get to tell people to 'pick up that can' while wearing.
It’s funny how all the gun tubers are doing gas mask videos. Probably because our opposition is going to be using a shit ton of teargas and bio weapons.
CS at ridiculous levels is no joke. Mixing my own right now. You thought the Fight Club house looked wrecked making soap. My barn is screaming "ATF, come raid me!" but it's all non-lethal. The second rule is...dammit.
Notice they are all sponsored by the same person selling exceptionally overpriced products.... Yeah... I mean if you want one (I even keep one in my car just for "peaceful protests" and getting trapped in my car), just note that there are better ones at lower prices. He apparently sold a couple and because they are so over-priced as you noted it was enough to hire so many guntubers (a sucker born every minute I guess, he only needed a few too!)
You did an outstanding job on this video! Right after I ordered my Mira CM - 7M mask, I found your video. I've watched your videos before but didn't see this one. So as I watched, I got a bit nervous and concerned. I was thinking maybe the mask that I've chosen may have not been the right style. But then you revealed your choice of mask and why you chose that style. I have chosen the same one also. Lucky me. I too like the style. However, I don't own any firearms. Great presentation on this video. 👏 All your videos are awesome! Thank you for making great content. 👍
I used a OBA in the Navy, but I can't remember what I used in the National Guard! I do still have my card for that mask, where I was fitted for it. I'll have to look back and see. Thanks again!
These are a huge ripoff (that was a sponsored commercial, and those are about double what they should be). You can get decent budget options like a lot of people like the $40 Israeli masks, not the best for rifle shooting but not a terrible pick especially at that price and you can find that price lots of places so pick your favorite. Or for still less than these you can grab an Avon S10 which these are sometimes considered clones of the style but still inferior to so I wouldn't call them clones. Make sure whatever you get that it fits well, thankfully with most other masks they have size charts (measure like chin strap, then around forehead, very easy). If you do pick something like an old Warsaw pact mask (they work and they look really cool but I don't recommend them for most people because filter is GOST thread) make sure to get modern Russian filters for them since the originals contained asbestos (a lot of masks like one of mine was a $40 soviet mask and came with a modern style filter but you might want several spare filters), but I recommend getting NATO nation masks because the filters are easier to find (40mm NATO vs 40mm GOST, they do sell adaptors but I don't suggest using adaptors) for all your NBC needs (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical, that's the standard filter most quality masks come with). If you can't afford $40 there is nothing wrong with that or a $25 mask as long as it seals well and has Tissot tubes (they defog the lese) that's all you really need with modern filters. Like I said I keep one of those in my car because its extremely fast to put on and works. Anyways, good luck, I don't sell masks or anything I just hate seeing people get ripped-off. Cheers!
Colin, have you seen the FIREHAWK M7 ULTR ELITE by MSA ?. If you take the two screws out that hold the front grill and safety strap, you can unscrew the nut that holds the front grill which exposes the 40 MM thread. Then just put the grill back on and secure with the strap and the two Phillips screws. MSA also makes an adapter for two filters. The lens is teardrops at the bottom for better viz. These are what the fire fighters use.
PTSD of 12 hours of wearing chem gear. A red dot is almost a must have while shooting with a gas mask on. I don't own one, but probably should. Kind of like War Poets channel doing a review on vests, I don't own one,but probably should. Great video as always.
Colion Noir has that influential swing thing going on. He didn't even need to give himself a plug. He reviewed their mask and they called him and said "Please take our free stuff and plug our product. Sir!" For the first time in Colion's life, he said "I will comply."
Have you considered the Avon C50 (single flexible face shield)? True CBRN rated 40mm x 1/7 NATO standard threading. Filter is ambidextrous mount (either side of mask) Has a drink straw/adapter as standard. Is helmet compatible. Has extra yellow, gray, and clear protective lens options. This is my go to mask.
I have an FM12 gasmask, and it is the comfiest mask Ive worn, with pretty decent visibility and the ability to look down the sights of my gun. Plus its just a sexy looking mask.

This is a paid video, WeaponsandStuff93 specialises in gas masks. He recommends avion FM12 or Forsheda and a few others. I’m disappointed that we have another paid video promoting Mira.
I've used a variety of chemical protective masks in the past 15 years due to my work. The two most commonly used have been the M40 and the Avon C50. Military personnel (especially Chem Corp) will be very familiar with the M40. I did like it, but I always found myself having to look at closer objects by turning my strong eye to it because of the two eye rings. The C50 was a huge improvement for my work and removed that need to cock my head to the side to see what I was doing. I haven't worked with any of the ones you mentioned but would definitely be up for a comparison between the 7 and 8. The 6 reminds me a lot of the SCBA masks we used and I like the fit of them but the forward set of the lense has always made me bang stuff into it. It all comes down to user comfort level with the equipment. What I like and prefer isn't always going to be what Colion likes and prefers, but as long as we can get the job done, that's what counts. Thanks for the great videos and keep up the amazing work you do.
Had an M40 in my truck for DOT haul of HAZMAT (liquid chlorine or other poisonous chemicals). I found it hard to drive while wearing that mask.
The c50 is awesome, everything good about the m50 but 40mm compatibility
Is there any way to wear a gas mask, earpro, and an ACH helmet together without getting a headache from the squeezing?
@@thegeth4293 I think you have about as much luck with that as you do with getting your nose to not need scratched as soon as you get everything "comfortable" and move into the warm zone😂
@@alexsparks5596 would it help to ditch the ACH and get a high cut helmet? I know big army still uses the full cuts, but how can they stand wearing it with a gas mask for hours?
One other thing to look for in any Pro-mask is: Can it fit a prescriptive insert? I wear glasses. I'm legally blind without them. Contacts and Lasik surgeries are not an option due to corneal scarring from debris. The M40 mask I used in the service had a fairly effective insert system that never fogged up and I could see quite well with it. "What does the mask I want to purchase have for optic inserts?" should be a question any purchaser has. Eventually you'll need glasses. Plan ahead.
Mira offers one compatible with their masks. Had to go look at them, of course, and that's in the product list.
29 for the frame. Says it fits 4 different style lenses.
Mira has a $229 pair a glasses that install in the mask. But I don't plan on using this mask often (maybe ever) If I do need it. Will my prescription be the same? The problem with normal glasses and a mask is that it may not seal properly, which could be a problem. You could get a second cheap pair of glasses and cut back section of frames off. The part that wraps around the ears. I might just use my previous glasses with this, since the script doesn't change that much. I can make do with it should something happen.
@@vanq86 That's a pretty good idea! Thanks!
Youd like the c50, their optic inserts are widely available due to them being standard issue in the us mil and i quite like them, they are not cheap though
M50 or M51 all the way. Current service use mask. You can find a few places to get them. Around $250 so not bad for a currently fielded item if you have the money.
If covid has taught me anything, it's that heavy duty masks are unnecessary. A paper thin, disposable mask or face shield is all you need for maximum protection.
Yes! As the cdc and NIH state, all one needs is a sheer piece of cloth covering the nose and mouth to protect against the smallest and most deadly particles and viruses known to man.

Your sarcasm came through my phone screen and got it all sticky.
Ah fuck here we go again.
I used the M-17;gas mask when I was in the US Army. Regardless of which mask you use just cant the rifle a little to your face. You can still look through the rear a front iron sights. Red dots are no problem. Just cant/tilt the rifle towards your eye. Even though you are canting you rifle you will still hit your target at ranges up to 400 meters. Get the mask that fits best. And change those filters.

This is an extremely well-made video. All three masks look great. If I had to choose one I think it would be the CM-8M. The CM-7M mask seems like it would limit your field of view, but honestly, the CM-7M makes the wearer look more intimidating. Maybe that's one reason why the Czech army uses it, it has a fear element against its opponent. As for the CM-6M, it looks like it provides the best field of view and it is used in the movie Tenet. But the clip that is used from the Tenet movie in this video was not the CM-6M, that mask was used later in the movie. The gas mask that was shown in this video was the MSA Advantage 1000, another mask that looks cool, especially how it was shown at the beginning of the Tenet movie. My question is if the MSA Advantage 1000 has any problems with it fogging up during use?
I don't even live "in the city" and I have a few MP5s with quite a few FP-3 filters (some are vacuum-sealed for long term storage). They're relatively cheap, but the filter comes out the front, allowing for ambidextrous tactics. Field of view is phenomenal.
MP-5? Like the Polish Maskpol gasmask? Or the French one?
Got a Polish MP-4 we call it Bulldog. It's simmilar to American M17 but a bit like Czech M-10 as well. Civilan MP-5 is called MT-213. Its exactly the same.
@@HanSolo__ Do you keep the cheek filters in all the time or what? I got an M10M for multiple reasons (display mostly, I also have a couple other masks I have for the ready), but I'm not really sure how one would store an M10/MP-4 if you wanted to keep it in your car (like I do with another mask in case of a "peaceful protest" where I'm stuck trapped in my car). I would think jamming in filters wouldn't be practical for defense (totally fine for ambush, you pick when to start as opposed to react), so I wonder if you can pack the filters then vacuum seal bag the whole mask like beef jerky if that would work?
good luck finding filters that work in 2 years if you get a mp4, 40mm nato is the way to go
@@calvinhuddleston576
Don't think I'll be worrying about "2 years from now", in the middle of a war where people are chucking gas all over the place.
Dont let Colion's usage of his laser aimer go unnoticed. Running a gas mask and helmet really gets in the way of your optics and especially your iron sights. Having an aiming laser is a very good solution and I'm going to say that it is a necessary addition to your rifle.
There is a truth of combat both in reality and games, if you look better, you fight better
I was looking at reviews on their masks. This videos helped me choose the right 1 for me. Thanks
These are insanely overpriced above market value and worth, also rebrands (Mira doesn't actually make any of these, period). There are both significantly better masks at less price, or similarly as nice at 1/8 the cost. I'm not sure why anyone would pick these other than ignorance of other mask options, especially at that really high price tag there are better options, but I'm not saying don't buy a mask, there are just much better masks at the same price.
Also from what I've seen (Demo Ranch vid recently), these particular masks in this vid don't seal worth $hit for most people (it could also be demo ranch is incompetent but most masks have size options, some like these do not and unfortunately "one size fits all" is about like shoes, one size does NOT fit all).
Not my money, I'm also not selling any, I just hate seeing people get ripped off.
@@jakegarrett8109 Price is the same in europe, at the exception of the inner Czech market. So it is not Mira's issue ... Any pro respirator or gasmask is at 200 and often 300/400€ /$ ...
@@anitaleroy9442Mira are scammers, period. If I am to export an OM-90 from Canada to Europe (the price of the mask being equal to the exporting fee !) it'll still be cheaper than Mira's CM-7M (which is a renamed OM-90) mask alone and on sale. It's scummy. Same for their "CM-8M" which is a renamed OM-2020, made by GuZu in Czech Republic that their army didn't adopt yet.
No such thing as "Pro gas mask" unless you refer to Scott Pro (owned by 3M now) gas masks and filters which are nice ones. It depends on the use and who you are. Getting a gas mask over 100 bucks is getting ripped off unless you're collector looking for specific items.
I have the 7M and I’m a shotty guy personally but it works well with a AR as well. Well worth the price tag. Filters are rated for nuclear as well. I also got some Potassium Iodide Tablets.
I can promise from experience they work for giving you the perfect cheek weld lol. Are there cheaper ones yes but are clunky. I bought mine in 2019
I’ve been looking at these recently. Now that Colion featured it I expect inventory to go to 0, lol.
Cool factor was definitely the determining factor.
Personally I shoot with the M50 Gas mask the US Army uses... "tactically acquired" from a guy on another base with some in spec filters and my experience is pretty mixed but its one I use on the duty side of things and I like to stay consistent. Great field of view but works poorly with other issued equipment like the current ACH, but when done right works well with PVS 14s if you don't mind having the chin stap extra long or buckled at all.
Can confirm on all points Colin made. I have the 6m and 7m. You can't get a site picture with standard mounts using the 6m. But the tear away visor savors are awesome.

Hm. Doesn’t appear as though Mira currently sells the 8M.
I can’t find it either
@@calebbarry3977 Its been delayed until they can figure out a few more things with it. Colion got a demo mask just to review. I've been emailing Mira Safety back and forward and they do not have a determined date yet for the CM-8M. Hope this helps

Makes me wanna buy a mask now. Keep up the great vids
Be careful there is a lot of Chy-na junk out there. We used 3M full face which was super comfy, had plenty of variety of filters. They're not super cheap being made in USA. The cheap ones on Ebay/Amazon are Chy-na rip offs. The rubber and plastic parts are sub-par material and poor fit. Area around eye shield has lots of spots to leak if you get a crap Chy-na one, plus the visor material is more prone to scratching.
My only issue is trying to sight even if the right filter is off and hole sealed. With an AR I can make it work with high scope mounts and rotating the rifle a bit. So I use a good heavy duty green laser with pressure switch to help.
I live by a main rail line which has all kinds of stuff going by. So being 200 feet from a potential chemical train wreck makes me think about everyday disaster scenarios more than civil disorder, although civil disorder can happen in many places when you least expect it.
3M is not the only quality mask maker but I was very familiar with it from work. There are some excellent ones made in Europe. BUT....one caution....watch out for proprietary filter fittings and a good brand should have more than one type of filter.
I too prefer the way the CM-7M looks, it definitely checks that box for me
my favorite is PMG Nerekhta (gas mask zh-12) glass - as close to the eyes as possible, a filter on the side, there are cutouts on top for moisture removal, etc., there are also straps to keep it well, blowing air for the lenses, I spent 6 and a half hours with average visibility and GP-7k filter, an excellent mask even today
I love the imagery you used at the beginning of this video. It proves to me that you get it and are not an "Officer Tatum".
Now everyone is gonna get a gas mask and ask for where they’re extraction point is.
I'm at the same place. The "no fog" and cheek weld sold me. So this was helpful .
Still rocking my M-40 but to date, no one has lobbed any CS cans through my window (yet). Spare filters and skins are a boost, but I only wore the M50 a few times before I retired. Might grab one before the Rittenhouse verdict comes out.

Nothing's going to happen either way.
Here is the deal. You say you want something it is free. I am glad. You deserve it. The rest of us can not afford alot of the grear you get.
Oh you can get better than these for much less. If you can't afford something nicer like an Avon S10 (about half the price of these, but better), then you can probably get an Israeli mask for $40 (price includes shipping in the US) on sites of your pick. Personally I spent even less on the one I keep in my car (about $25, I'd still pick it over the one in the vid), so you've got loads of options. Warning though if you're buying old Warsaw pact masks (which I don't recommend because they use 40mm GOST and not 40mm NATO threads) then get the modern Russian filters (the old filters contain asbestos). Anyways, you don't need a lot of money for superior gear, cheers!
The first setup I was trained on was the M-16A2 HBAR equipped with an AN/PVS 4 paired up with the lovely M17 mask. It was clumsy as Hell. You had to turn the weapon nearly sideways to line up a shot. That 40lb. tuxedo didn't help much either.
Best gas mask advertising I've ever seen.
I know what I'm looking at getting myself for Christmas.
Guys, I've owned countless gas masks of all varieties. I can tell you now MIRA is just refitted surplus with a huge price tag. The best mask I've come across yet is the British FM12, I wear red night lenses on mine (see my picture). Great cheek weld, no leaks, ambidextrous filter reservoir, and very easy to adjust.
Exactly... I'm amazed his advertising is this widespread, but if you have such insane profit margin from a few suckers born every minute, well I guess you can hire everyone to advertise for you (and I'm not calling Colion a shill nor Demo Ranch, they probably just don't know much on the topic). Could have fooled me on the mask though, that looked like an Avon S10, lol! If its similar that should be nice (I want to die the glass lense covers on a couple of mine, looks pretty easy but you probably got the premium $80 covers and not doing some ghetto stuff like I plan, lol!)
Finally someone who isn’t stupid
MIRA is so expensive
Where do you get red lenses if you don't mind me asking? I got the same mask.

I think the mask in the movie used the MSA millennium or advantage 1000, which is a better brand
But in this nowadays, AVON is what people should go for, the fm54 & fm53 is just amazing
Correct, the mask in Tenet was the MSA Millenium. I own one and have used it for some shooting training and it is a pretty comfortable. I do recommend a riser for your optic as the cheek weld is better than the Mira CM-6M, but not as tight as the Mira CM-7M.
@@lighthousedynamics7298 yeah, I came across about 4 millennium now, they're cool.
But the M50 & 53/54 are just mind blowing
From a person that has to be able to wear a gas mask, shoot effectively and perform tasks in hostile environments , I have found that a mask with a one piece optic is far better. Also a little hint, put rain x on the outside of you mask and anti fog on the inside. If you get paint or something else thrown on your face it will literally fall off immediately. It’s NOT about looks when you got to actually use it Colion, you know this !
Good advice, I used Rain X a lot on motorcycle helmets, may vary well have saved my life (rode year round, also seemed to prevent icing). I think on the inside they use some kind of wax or grease (depends on the era of the mask), I think you can also use Vaseline (which also works for sealing beard hair in a mask too if its short). Definitely coat the lenses BEFORE the action when its too late!
CM-7M is a clone of the Check OM90 which is a cheep and effective clone of The Avon S10 and goes for around 50USD Mira are getting unopened stock and re-selling it
The best mask right now is still the FM53/54 due to flexibility and FOV with comms and the whole one mask suits all systems due to the switchable pressure value system.
But what's funny this is the minimum for virus and contaminate protection and yeet press use paper mask with a real one ''just for tear gas'' 😂
But you have to keep in mind Avon masks are what police/military now all use in the USA easier to get replacements and parts if there is a massive supply in the region.

“No one cared who I was until I wore the mask”
Personally, I'm not much of a Mira Safey fan. Sure their masks are quality since they literally are supplying Czech government surplus masks. Though, I much more enjoy what Avon Protection has to offer for masks. Sure you can't really get the masks straight from Avon themselves, but you can easily get them nos or lightly used from third party sources. Not to mention the masks are very comfortable and modern yet simple to maintain/operate. A good example of what I mean by modern yet simple is the C50. These are exactly the same as the US military issue FM50s but with 40mm intakes on it instead. They have a comms port and rotary drinking tube assembly built in and keep complex parts to a minimum. So personally, I much more prefer Avon Protection over Mira when it comes to masks.
"but you can easily get them nos." What's "nos" mean?
Czech army stuff is a good choice. The 8M mask gives you a much better FOV, some masks feel like you can't see the ground, which is sometimes nice to look at.
Which one works better with glasses?
This is important as it is not an option to go without my glasses, function matters more than appearance.

Don't have to ask the wife if you have none 👌
I'd pick a different mask though (cheaper and better options exist). But yes, I keep a mask in my car just in case, doubt I'll ever need it but you never know (kind of like my seatbelt, hope I never need it but its there)
Avon s10 is one you should try and get your hands on, they have lense covers that allow for better vision under different situations and a one outsert that prevents blinding from flash bangs, they also have an mic that mounts the gas masks diaphragm for better speech, and coms communication and its very similar to the 07 mask
I use an Israeli 4A1 (Israeli Civilian) mask, it’s the same as the military version minus the voicemitter for a fraction of the price and is a damn good mask, complete with a very well designed drinking tube and it’s UNIVERSAL FIT for adults so no guess work. My only complaint is that it’s a bit tight around my jaw but not terribly so. My second favorite is actually my old Soviet GP-5, it’s crude but very comfortable (better than the 4A1), and both masks have a good seal (I have tested them with banana oil ampules).
(Note: Some GP-5s can use the Israeli filters and some cannot, it’s luck of the draw, if yours can it’s a good mask, if it can’t than it sucks because then you have to use Russian GOST filters which are unobtainium as non surplus and the surplus ones are unsafe to use)
Best place to pick one up?
@@mahreeohhhh There's a lot of places, Ebay has a bunch of sellers (I assume you're talking about the 4A1, but they have pretty much anything you could want). So just check your favorite places, like even Amazon has GP5's and stuff, locally check your mil-surp place because they probably got one or might have something else good. Take your pick!
Ngl, after you brought up Tenet, all I can think whenever I see you with the mask on now is "I ordered my hot sauce an hour ago."
Extremely useful. I was too close for comfort at "mostly peaceful" demonstration last year and my painting respirator didn't work with me shooting a defensive rifle.
I would pick a different mask though, these are severely over-priced and not the best for the money. But yes, I have a cheap mask in my passenger seat at the ready just for "mostly peaceful protests" too because that is one concern (ideally I would also have a Mr Smith and Mr Wesson as my body guards, but its illegal to keep even a flintlock in my car for defense so best I can do is a mask until they inevitably try to ban those too even though all year they've been telling people to wear masks and this week I'll be forced to wear a muzzle that's not even chemical/biological rated like proper NBC masks are rated for, but I digress...)

@@christinepearson5788 Yeah, I did notice my center filter MC-1 was just as easy to aim down sights as my left side filter GP-7V (that surprised me). But those both have round eye lenses so its not ideal because part of your vision is narrower if you're using only 1 eye (which you really don't need to, but if you're trying to be super precise I usually close one eye for shots). It probably varies on the length of pull some though or where exactly your sights are.
Those were just 2 masks with center vs left filter with similar viewing lens for comparison sake, I'm not suggesting either just being specific on the test data example.
I had a cm7 and it's great for large faces and heads. It got stolen from my car. Wore it shopping and worked great. No one cared who I was until I put on the mask.
As czech im proud to see our stuff being used and loved for they quality, it gives me the tiny hope for my even tinier patriotism. Fun Fact : CM stands for "Civilní Maska" when translated "Civil Mask" and like russian stuff, the designation "M" stands for "Modernised". I would like to own one, cuz it's safe (no asbestos, chromium) and actually still useable, but the price is, at least for me, too much. So for as "if I had to buy one", I would go for CM 4. You can use GOST and even NATO filters (Some sources claim that, but someone factczech me). There is hidden tresure called MOF-1/4 filters, which shouldn't contain asbestos (as the maker "Sigma" says), but I would only trust MOF-3 and MOF-4, as after 1975, ČSSR army stoped using asbestos in filters.

Yeah these are severely overpriced rebrands. That S10 is nice but pricey (still way cheaper than these over-inflated ones). I keep a cheap MC-1 in my car with modern filter simply because I can slap it on in about 2 seconds plus maybe 3 seconds more to pop the filter caps and install (though I'm interested in getting a GP5 to since those are rediculously fast to install).
Not that long ago was playing some COD drinking Vodka through a GP-7v, lol! No Step!
the cm7 mask is the same exact mask as the OM90.
Mira just re sells factory made ones for almost triple the price of a surplus om90, if you are on a budget just buy an om90, it is litteraly the same exact mask
Thanks I literally just put gas mask on my realistic "to do" list and off of my "wish" list and plan to buy 3 total for me and my kids. So thanks again because I was about to research which one to get and I watch all your videos and also use them for info anytime I'm adding something to the safe. Let's Go Brandon!!!
Do make sure to do that research and not get one of these.
These are insanely overpriced above market value and worth, these are also rebrands. There are both significantly better masks at less price, or similarly as nice at 1/8 the cost. One budget example people like are $40 Israeli gas masks (a country where they might actually get gassed a few times, so they need those to work), but that might not be my first pick.
From what I've seen (Demo Ranch vid recently), these particular masks in this vid don't seal worth $hit for most people (it could also be demo ranch is incompetent but most masks have size options, some like these do not and unfortunately "one size fits all" is about like shoes, one size does NOT fit all).
If you just want a starting suggestion some channels like Weaponsandstuff93 cover the basics of masks and what to look for like Tissot tube defoggers, and he covers everything from $25 mask options like the very basic MC-1 I keep in my car (or for not much more my soviet masks which I would still pick over the ones in the vid but that's a low standard), or something nice like his favorite for example is the Avon S10 which is about half the price and which these are sometimes considered clones of but still inferior to.
Make sure whatever you get that it fits well, thankfully with most other masks they have size charts (measure like chin strap, then around forehead, very easy). If you do pick something like a Warsaw pact masks (they work and they look really cool) make sure to get modern Russian filters for them since the originals contained asbestos (a lot of masks like one of mine was a $40 soviet mask and came with a modern style filter but you might want several filters), though I recommend getting NATO nation masks because the filters are easier to find (40mm NATA vs 40mm GOST, they do sell adaptors but I don't suggest using adaptors) for all your NBC needs (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical, that's the standard filter most quality masks come with, and yes there is nothing wrong with a $25 mask as long as it seals well and has Tissot tubes that's all you really need. Like I said I keep one of those in my car because its extremely fast to put on and works). Anyways, good luck, I don't sell masks or anything I just hate seeing people get ripped-off. Cheers!
Parameters to chose the mask : which hazard ? budget ? type of face .size. then think to size. weight Bulky?, tough (panoramic visors are prone to scratches), important easy to breath through and comfort (Mira's Czech masks are very easy to breath through, mainly if fitted with twin filters). Added speech diaphragm, liquid tube, ... For kids, no masks at the exception of the ex soviet last range (they work) and Israeli models. GP5 go to teens size, difficult to find. Some chinese copies.
Acquired the 6m. Surprisingly was able to fit my kids too.
I'd love to wear that for airsoft.
Thailand's law is the problem here though, if the government catch you/me the civilian owning a military gas mask, they'll arrest you 5 years in jail for carrying a 'war weapon' which is only a god damn gas mask and not a gun or explosives.
I have both the CM-7M and the CM-6M ( multiple of each ). The CM-8M is not available to the general public yet as it is being re-worked based on input from the first beta testers.
It just went back in-stock
Great vid. Id add that those who want the extra field of vision can still get an aesthetically pleasing (killer warrior visage) by wearing their fave skull face mask, or combat camo paint underneath.
Saw you in "Recoil" mag., looking cool, playah.
Ah yes, another person bought by MIRA!
Frustrating how people fall for their propaganda Price goulging and Rename Czech equipment om-90 as the cm-7 It's disgusting!
@@christophermarkee5445 Finally someone that understands xD
Cm 7m has severed me well. Real quality
That CM6M that you showed looks different than the ones in the “Tenet” clip.
yeah it does, that class is more recessed
AJxBISHOP MSA Advantage 1000 is the actual one in Tenet, but The Urban Prepper and others just claimed the Mira Safety CM-6M instead (similar).
@@AJxBishop and the visor is more of a bubble shape, not just a flat single curved piece.
Just bought my CM7M today. I like that it kinda makes you look and feel like a Krieg marine from Warhammer 40K.
“I started enjoying the mask”, okay Bane. Lol
I've got a surplus soviet PMG mask. Nice supple rubber body, very soft and pliable as it goes over the head, but the face is a bit stiffer. It can accept GOST threaded filters and many NATO filters as well, due to a rubberized coating on the threads inside the mask, helping for a better seal. Its got a voice diaphragm, and forward facing, flat eye glass for better vision. Works great when shouldering a rifle. They're made with filters on either left or right side, and you get to tell people to 'pick up that can' while wearing.
despite the economic crisis i still think this is a right time to start up an investment
How do I start trading with Mr Steven Hatzakis
Thanks , placing my trade with expert Steven Hatzakis
I've got 12th winning thanks to Mr Steven Hatzakis he's really the best, I've made £16,400 in 18 days working with him
Really y'all know him? I even thought I'm the only one he has helped walk through the fears and falls of trading
Yes I can believe that, I got victory with him, I was so sad after receiving the first try knowing I invested so low with fear😓😫
I love knowledge I get from your videos. Ty
It’s funny how all the gun tubers are doing gas mask videos. Probably because our opposition is going to be using a shit ton of teargas and bio weapons.
CS at ridiculous levels is no joke. Mixing my own right now. You thought the Fight Club house looked wrecked making soap. My barn is screaming "ATF, come raid me!" but it's all non-lethal. The second rule is...dammit.
Notice they are all sponsored by the same person selling exceptionally overpriced products.... Yeah... I mean if you want one (I even keep one in my car just for "peaceful protests" and getting trapped in my car), just note that there are better ones at lower prices. He apparently sold a couple and because they are so over-priced as you noted it was enough to hire so many guntubers (a sucker born every minute I guess, he only needed a few too!)
You look so cool wearing the full kit
It's weird that you show peaceful protest but say "in the next town over their was riots"
I did NOT expect to see a great video about gas masks and guns to come from this channel today. Sweet.
Also the CM7m is a clone of the brit s10 gas mask that seems product improved.
That looks like fun. Reminds me of what the Combine wear in Half Life.
You did an outstanding job on this video!
Right after I ordered my Mira CM - 7M mask, I found your video. I've watched your videos before but didn't see this one.
So as I watched, I got a bit nervous and concerned. I was thinking maybe the mask that I've chosen may have not been the right style. But then you revealed your choice of mask and why you chose that style. I have chosen the same one also. Lucky me. I too like the style. However, I don't own any firearms.
Great presentation on this video. 👏
All your videos are awesome! Thank you for making great content. 👍
Buy a gun
The CM-7m is literally just an OM-90 sold at 3x the price
DON'T BUY FROM MIRA
I used a OBA in the Navy, but I can't remember what I used in the National Guard! I do still have my card for that mask, where I was fitted for it. I'll have to look back and see. Thanks again!
I like when he says he prefers the 7M over the 8M strictly because it looks cooler.
Colin Noir is essentially John Wick at this point
Great explanation! 👍 I'm definitely getting one!
These are a huge ripoff (that was a sponsored commercial, and those are about double what they should be).
You can get decent budget options like a lot of people like the $40 Israeli masks, not the best for rifle shooting but not a terrible pick especially at that price and you can find that price lots of places so pick your favorite. Or for still less than these you can grab an Avon S10 which these are sometimes considered clones of the style but still inferior to so I wouldn't call them clones.
Make sure whatever you get that it fits well, thankfully with most other masks they have size charts (measure like chin strap, then around forehead, very easy). If you do pick something like an old Warsaw pact mask (they work and they look really cool but I don't recommend them for most people because filter is GOST thread) make sure to get modern Russian filters for them since the originals contained asbestos (a lot of masks like one of mine was a $40 soviet mask and came with a modern style filter but you might want several spare filters), but I recommend getting NATO nation masks because the filters are easier to find (40mm NATO vs 40mm GOST, they do sell adaptors but I don't suggest using adaptors) for all your NBC needs (Nuclear/Biological/Chemical, that's the standard filter most quality masks come with). If you can't afford $40 there is nothing wrong with that or a $25 mask as long as it seals well and has Tissot tubes (they defog the lese) that's all you really need with modern filters. Like I said I keep one of those in my car because its extremely fast to put on and works. Anyways, good luck, I don't sell masks or anything I just hate seeing people get ripped-off. Cheers!
Colion all decked out looks like someone you dont want to mess with!
Colin, have you seen the FIREHAWK M7 ULTR ELITE by MSA ?.
If you take the two screws out that hold the front grill and safety strap, you can unscrew the nut that holds the front grill which exposes the 40 MM thread. Then just put the grill back on and secure with the strap and the two Phillips screws.
MSA also makes an adapter for two filters.
The lens is teardrops at the bottom for better viz.
These are what the fire fighters use.
PTSD of 12 hours of wearing chem gear. A red dot is almost a must have while shooting with a gas mask on. I don't own one, but probably should. Kind of like War Poets channel doing a review on vests, I don't own one,but probably should. Great video as always.
Colion Noir has that influential swing thing going on. He didn't even need to give himself a plug. He reviewed their mask and they called him and said "Please take our free stuff and plug our product. Sir!"
For the first time in Colion's life, he said
"I will comply."
Literally wearing the setup I fantasize about, in MULTICAM BLACK 😍
Have you considered the Avon C50 (single flexible face shield)?
True CBRN rated
40mm x 1/7 NATO standard threading.
Filter is ambidextrous mount (either side of mask)
Has a drink straw/adapter as standard.
Is helmet compatible.
Has extra yellow, gray, and clear protective lens options.
This is my go to mask.
buying a Gas Mask is NEVER about which is Best, but which is the most bad ass looking.
I have an FM12 gasmask, and it is the comfiest mask Ive worn, with pretty decent visibility and the ability to look down the sights of my gun. Plus its just a sexy looking mask.
