M10 HLGP Respirator

The M10 HLGP (Hard-Light General Purpose) Respirator is a lightweight and compact protective gas mask. It is compatible with a variety of existing filters currently on the market, as well as ones produced by SENTINEL.

History
The M10 was designed and adopted by SENTINEL in 2421 in response to the chemical attacks in the City of Mistral.

Appearance
The M10 is a free floating mask that can easily fit over a user's face without the need for straps to fit over their head. It fires a blast of compressed air before clamping down on a user's face and creating an airtight seal. Dual filters are mounted on the cheeks of the mask. The M10 uses a monolens that reduces field of view by a marginal amount, which is protected by a hard-light projector that doubles as a Heads-Up Display (HUD) and a polarizing filter.

Specifications
The M10 is designed to be extremely portable and compact, able to be carried in a pocket or a small satchel. The mask makes use of dual filters that allows for easier breathing, and has self-sealing ports for filter changes in contaminated environments.

These dual filters protect against chemical and biological agents, as well as most other toxic particulates. The mask also has a rebreather in cases where filters would not be able to sufficiently protect a user, such as low oxygen environments. The rebreather can last for up to two hours at a time before needing to be refreshed.

The eye lens is made of layered panes of ballistic laminated glass. The M10 also has a hard-light projector that performs two functions: protecting the lens, and projecting a Heads-Up Display (HUD). The HUD of the M10 informs the user of seal integrity, lens integrity, and filter life. The hard-light visor is also capable of automatically polarizing in the presence of bright lights, and can thus mitigate the visual effects of stun grenades.

The M10 also has ballistic mask capabilities, being made of a bullet resistant synthetic fiber fitted between layers of synthetic rubber.
