Watching NCIS (New Orleans) Gas canisters stolen, towards the end of the show, Jewelry heist in play, utilizing the Gas. NCIS Agents flip their baseball caps around backwards, put on their modern Tactical style Gasmasks. (No eyepieces, just one large clear frontal coverage.) A Huge improvement, over what we used.
The BS comes in to play, thinking you are going to get a Seal around your face, with a backwards baseball cap in use. Looked pretty cool. Totally stupid.
Yes, I know it is just TV. (NBC Specialist here. Little things matter.) Wrecked it for me.

Somehow I always notice the skid marks on the road where they practiced then botched the first two takes. I usually see the piece of telephone pole roll away after they fire it out the back floor to make the car launch and roll over.
But hey, this is nothing new, remember Roy's six shooter that fired 18 times before a re-load?
Yes HeDog. It is kind of like Tires squealing, on a Dirt road. Another personal favorite.
Actually tires do squeal on dirt roads if the road is hard packed...
But most of the things that Hollywood does is for visual entertainment effect. Why do you think I don't watch TV or movies anymore...

Like how the body reacts when shot...i.e. flying back 5 feet
The "click" as they take the safety off...of a Glock
Racking the slide each time the draw a pistol
Hollywood foley artists need to get some everyday people in there that know something about firearms and get some EMTs/Trauma Docs that see GSWs constantly
My wife hates watching some movies/shows with me because I nit pick the details

Racking the slide on a pistol or shotgun right after you had already racked it and no round fly's out.
What you describe sounds like an Oxygen Breathing Apparatus (OBA) which is fire fighting gear. In a pinch it might work as a gas mask, I?ve never heard of it being tried and don?t know why anybody would. The Navy usually just uses a gas mask for toxic gas.
I guess you could say the NCIS (the TV show) was just following the example of the real NCIS. If it is possible the NCIS is even goofier than the Fat Boy?s Institute (FBI).
Oxygen is administered to certain medical patients by EMS providers.

The current Protective Mask is the M50. Its been the one used by US Servicemen since 2009 but there are still M40's out there.
The M50 2009-
The older M40 1998-2009
The even older M17
I used the M17 and M40 but retired before the M50 came out.
Artistic license, you are going to need one.[}:)][:p]

I always note the full length skip plate on the sedan that jumps or does a barrel roll.
Going outside where the small amount of light you could see seemed way too bright and when you could finally see you wished you couldn't because of all the snot streaming from everyone's face.

I know you think you know but there is no way to be certain without trying it. If you have a mask and a ball cap I think I have an old can of surplus mustard gas that I can send you but you really need to video tape it.[:)][:)][:0][:0][:0]
I own several high end West German Military Tactical masks. Canister comes out the left cheek, allowing a good cheek weld on the right hand side, when using a rifle. (Yes, Little things matter.)
While I do not have any Mustard Gas, I do know how to fabricate it, should the need arise.
Knowing that a backwards baseball cap would inhibit a good seal, I would not be so dumb as to utilize such an idiotic maneuver.

Just mixing two common household cleaners will produce a rather deadly gas.
I can say for a fact the gas mask I wore in the Marines protected me from this.[:D] And the Head was sparkling clean.[;)]
I had an author pay me $200.00 once to spend an hour answering her questions about firearms and tactics for a book she was writing.
You sure you didn't pay her 200 for an hour of tactics?[:o)]
Remember watching the old "A" Team with George Peppard and Mr.T. So many explosions and NEVER anyone getting blown up!! [:0]
Quite a few phone poles and power lines visable in many old westerns that were supposed to predate these modern conveniences!
I have learned to take movie and TV watching for the entertainment value. If I didn't do this I would go nuts!!
Don't get me started with all of the wrong guns used in various epic time frame shows and movies!! Those are the hardest for me to turn a blind eye upon![xx(][:I]
Movies always have screwups.
Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull, Indiana Jones cuts open shotgun shells and throws the lead pellets on the floor .. and they move/attach to the side of a box with a 'magnetic force' inside.
Lead is not attracted to a magnet as it's a dia-magnetic material, like wood or glass. And in the time period of movie, steel shot was not made.
Far to many more to even mention.
Like Harrison Ford still active at 400 years old?
[:D]
Talk about stupid Hollywood stuff[;)]
(A nice deep whiff of CS is a great way to clear out yer head if you have a bad cold.)
I guess my favorite is 'One Million B.C.' with Raquel Welch.
In one scene you can clearly see a jet contrail in the sky.
Where to start?

That contrail was made by a Pterodactyl [:D][:D][:o)]

You were watching the sky?/ good lord man, that was a hot movie, I was watching the CON TAIL the whole time.
Also in the chase scenes on horseback the actors sometimes look like they are on a merry-go-round... up and down, up and down....
None of the TV series are a reality thing since to is never going to be possible to solve a complex crime in an hour or less...I just accept it for what it is...Entertainment.
The biggest wth is the reality show "Naked and Afraid" that has got to the dumbest one of the lot.
