Description
The U.S. ARMY M40A1 Field Protective Gas Mask was issued in 1992 and used by the military of the United States and its allies to protect from field concentrations of chemical and biological agents, along with radiological fallout particles. The M40 series was reworked with a better nose cup and a new Butyl protective hood. The new hood required a rubber "second skin" that covered the entire mask's face piece This new design offered a higher level of protection against penetrating NBC agents and also made it easier to don the protective hood. The M40A1 Field Protective mask features two voice-mitters, one on either the right or left side, and one in front. A voice-com adapter may be placed over the front voice-mitter to amplify the user's voice. The respirator can be adjusted in the field to accept the filtering canister on either side, so that a weapon may be shouldered.
