EVALUATION OF MASK, ANTIFLASH, ROCKET LAUNCHER, M19A1
Abstract
Two series of 3.5 Inch Rocket firings at -20 F were run to observe the effect of rocket blowback on the M19A1 Antiflash Mask. In the first series, the mask was mounted six inches aft of the launcher bell-mouth. In the second series, the mask was mounted in a position corresponding to the gunner's head. The firings showed that the M19A1 Antiflash Mask provided adequate protection against 3.5 Inch Rocket blowback. The M19 Antiflash Mask, tested in the first series for comparison purposes, was badly damaged. Study of the new (M19A1) mask indicated need for human engineering.
