#SCP OVERLORD GAS MASK FULL#

A single mag dump no longer left the eyes watering, but it didn't completely negate all discomfort.įiltering out 99% of particles greater than 0.3 microns, the mask adds noticeable drag when drawing in a breath, but not nearly as much as a common painter's respirator, or a true gas mask. The O2 Tactical TR2 respirator mitigated any gas from being breathed in through either the nose or mouth, effectively reducing the stinging sensation of shooting a short barreled DI gun. Quality of Lifeįor many, the quest for less gas blown back while shooting suppressed is their holy grail, for others, it's a fact of life they've learned to deal with.

Though it should be known that we were deliberately looking for ways to create issues when shooting with the mask on. The combination of right-handed shooter, Law Tactical Folding Stock Adapter, and a fully collapsed stock created the closest thing a possible problem, as the front of the respirator would occasionally hit the adapter hinge. When shouldering a rifle, the mask may bump up against the stock, moreso with a loose cheek weld, but it doesn't impede the shooter from a normal shooting posture. Once this is done, it's design begins to shine.

The mask remains secure even through dynamic movement, and setting the proper tension takes only a few tries to become natural. Once set and adjusted, the respirator maintains consistent but not uncomfortable pressure even when keeping that head on a swivel. Worn in conjunction with a Ballistic Helmet, Night Vision, and Peltor Comtac 3's must be a deliberate choice, as the order of putting on the gear doesn't happen quickly, and must follow a certain order. Securing to the face via a 2-strap system: one behind the neck and another across the crown, the O2 Tactical TR2 integrates with ear and eye protection. Fitting over and around the mouth and nose, with the bottom of the seal resting between the front of the chin and the bottom lip, it doesn't require a clean shaven face to work. Typically Respirators don't play well with facial hair, a deal breaker against those who prefer maintaining a 5-week shadow of “operator scruff.” The O2 Tactical TR2, however, doesn't suffer the same way. With all this talk of masks, one might imagine it a conspiracy against beards. Though they look similar, only one should go in curry. However comparing this kind of respirator is not quite an apples-to-oranges situation, but limes-to-lemons. It provides protection against airborne agents, but isn't meant for situations involving biochemical warfare.

On a scale of a strip of cloth to full MOPP 4, the O2 Tactical TR2 fits solidly in the middle. Recent short films like SCP: Overlord or full features such as Tenet have used tactical masks as both a plot point, and a narrative tool, and for years there has been a challenge regarding wearing a mask: how are you supposed to shoulder a rifle with something attached to your face? The O2 Tactical TR2 answers the question of the tactical mask problem.Ībove: Don't be mistaken, these two are not the same. Just as some are interested in tactical theater, so others choose to take their training and development seriously, and where both meet might be respirators. While mask wearing used to suggest catastrophic disasters like nuclear fallout, or chemical warfare, things like mold, lead, and more every-day hazards have long persisted as mankind remains breathing. Before wearing “masks” was cool and going out in public without one was considered rebellious, there were plenty of professions that required protecting one's lungs from the operating environment.
