It may not be a 'combat respirator' but it will certainly protect me against a variety of things depending on which cartridges I put on it. Currently have multi-gas/acid-gas, organic vapors, and particulates.

It is even better when you get the ammonia/methylamine cartridges.

Question. A lot of surplus sites say their gas masks are "for display only". Are they saying this just to cover their asses legally? Is there a way I can safely test a gas mask on my own, short of spraying homemade mustard gas in my face?

Pretty much. These things are in no way OSHA/ANSI rated.

>>31804878
Yeah, more or less, surplus masks with 40mm NATO or GOST threads are the best way to go, so long as the mask seals, then its the filters that you should focus on.

Avoid cheek filter masks like that M10m you have though, in date replacement filters no longer exist, all are outdated, and no longer in production.

>Nice paintball mask

Why do the GSR and M50+variants look like airsoft/paintball masks.... i prefer the C4, doesn't look like a toy.

>>31804878
Yeah, just don't use it the old Russian filters unless you want to find out how mesothelioma feels.
