Funny the things you suddenly remember and act out.
I was standing in the living room when someone let a stinker go. My immediate response, without even thinking, mind you, was to yell GAS, GAS, GAS, and reach for the mask that wasn't at my side.

It is amazing how many people use a thin "dust mask" in a mistaken belief that it will provide some protection against potentially hazardous fumes when in reality they should be wearing an appropriate respirator, for the job in hand, fitted with the correct filters for whatever chemicals or materials they are working with.

The Canadian
C4 gas mask is a good design with an internal metal plate that vibrates allowing better voice communications, good visibility and an attached drinking tube that mated with the top of our canteens. The C4 is a huge jump in technology from the claustrophobic P Helmet hood of WWI.

The current US Gas Macks have the drinking tube. the MARK V I had shown was the version I wore or used in the 70's and 80's

We defined our mask protective as one that protected you from various NBC agents. A respirator was something something completely different.

Likewise our C4. The previous models did not.
