fv1609 Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 But of course if you drink tea whilst wearing a respirator, apart from the obvious difficulties, it will mean that you will get all steamed up. Or is that just the excitement of holding the SLR? If you have forked out on this accessory, it must mean you have sorted out your brakes and the turn indicators. Glad those are all working properly now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul connor Posted October 26, 2006 Author Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hehe, but an S6 is period, i have an S10, as i used them... much better as they do have a straw... what is the straw like valve thing in the S6 for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtistsRifles Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 If you mean what I think you mean (??) - it's for maintaining the air pressure in the face seal!!! NOT for trying to drink from - take a suck on that in a VX gas filled area and you will be the late Sir Paul :evil: Funnily enough - I seem to have walked away from HM services with a full NBC kit still in my bedroom - suit, boots, gloves (inner and outer), S6 & canister in case etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienFTM Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Hehe, but an S6 is period, i have an S10, as i used them... much better as they do have a straw... what is the straw like valve thing in the S6 for? If you mean what I think you mean, it allows pressure balancing in the air-filled respirator surround cushion. There is a SOP for its use. I believe it was to be carried out daily when the threat of an NBC attack existed. Open the valve briefly and allow the air pressure to balance, then tighten it back up. Some people used to believe (mainly because they were gullible and people told them) that you needed to blow up the cushion like a balloon via this valve in order to maintain the gas seal. WRONG!!! All it did was remove the flexibility of the cushion and REDUCE the gas seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snapper Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 It's alright for you lot. I am still trying to convince my wife to let me have a SMLE. We spent last week in a house on the Somme which had one on display and I kept staring longingly at it and she continued to misunderstand me....funny woman.

ArtistsRifles Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 You think you've got a problem with your wife - mine detests the Army in general and any sort of weapon. Period. :-o If I tried convincing mine of the need for an SLR or 2 in the Stalwarts racks I'd be talking to a frying pan and sleeping on the living room floor!!!! :-o :-o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
