    Default Vietnam war USGI Gas Masks

    Hey there fellas.

    A question that has recently been driving me insane is the use of certain gas masks during the vietnam war, pretty certain you may very well know where this is going, the M17 and the M17A1. M17 was absolutely used, you can see plenty of footage, images and documented events where those can be seen. On the other hand, plenty of sites that look into vietnam war equipment, constantly mention or add the M17A1 to their list of equipment, implying it was used, yet I've never seen or heard of them being actually used or even fielded in Vietnam. This lack of depth or evidence bothers me greatly, and figured that maybe some of you guys could have some insights on this!

    Questions are:

    -Was the M17A1 actually even used in Vietnam?
    -When was this? (if applicable)
    -Could it be used for reenactment without coming across as farby?


    Thanks for your time guys!
