    Guys, guys, guys. The only cartridge you need to protect yourself from the virus is a P100 cartridge, or HEPA. You don't need to buy a CBRN cartridge which costs between 80$ to 240$ ea. It's ridiculous.

    Most military masks, like our C4 (wink wink), use 40mm NATO threaded cartridges. Some PAPR cartridges which are not sold for military/defense purposes fit the bill. More specifically, one example is the North 40HE cartridge, usually found in packs of 3. They're not advertised as 40mm NATO, but I validated this info with Honeywell Safety and tried it on my mask. Perfect fit.

    ummmm the chinese virus is 60micron, not that small. And how small is tear gas particles? About 1micron. These masks should be overkill against the virus provided the canisters and mask are actually still within service life. They are saying N95 dust masks that you can buy from hardware stores can filter out down to 0.01micron.

    maybe stop calling people retarded about things you know jack sht about?

    These filters should work to filter the Chinese Virus if you have a Nato Stanag 40mm mask

    I would not use any soviet mask or filters as most are expired and are known to contain asbestos.

    Good army surplus masks are the polish MP5 gas mask, Israeli M15, Avon fm12 (if you can find any).

    More info on all the different masks can be found here https://gasmaskandrespirator.fandom.com/wiki/Wiki

    I think maybe you need to stop talking about something you don't know about.

    The virus is approximately 125nm which is 0.125 Micron in size. It will not be captured by the filter offered with these masks.

    Take the time to read actual sources instead of taking what you read on forums and spouted out on media for truth. People and vendors are fear mongering to move these things that have been sitting around for years.

    Actually, between 80-160nm. https://www.ejmo.org/pdf/2019%20Nove...ture-12220.pdf

    HEPA filters WILL capture those particles. Don't let Wikipedia fool you by thinking they can't capture anything under 0.3um.

    Then why oh why did trump announce yesterday that 3M says 35million N95 masks will be available to healthcare and frontline yesterday due to regulation changes which affect company liability, gee I wonder.


    Maybe you are the one that needs to understand what a facking micron is?

    And go home and stay home and educate yourself real good before you open your mouth, with a N95 mask on it.

    And dont be spouting off crap that N95 doesnt work, it can.
