Mask overview


The MF-11 (not to be confused with MF-11D), also known as FMJ05 is one of China's current standard-issue protective mask. MF-11 made by Tangshan Puda is also known as MJ-4003, although the first version of the mask was known as Type 87. Currently used by the Chinese People's Liberation Army to suppliment the large need of gas masks amongst their normal troops, as well as for use amongst civilians working in areas such as industry, agriculture, scientific research, public safety and transportation safety. Oftenly, the variant without the drinking tube is called MF-11B, although this is not always the case. It is available in 3 sizes; 1 (Small), 2 (Medium), and 3 (Large).

Introduced in 1987, the mask itself is made out of a black rubber. The filter that comes with the mask (such as the Z-B-R2-V filter) provides protection against CBRN threats. The mask features rounded triangular eye lenses. The mask uses a 6-point head harness. The full of this mask comes in a green plastic box that the mask and filter fit in. It also comes with the carrying bag with a Type 87 woodland camouflage fabric. Other accessories include a waterproof bag, instructions, and a training cap/resistor cap for the filter input.

Pengukuran

Generally, there are 20 boxes of FMJ05 per wooden box with an optional ruler. Masks are selected according to the range of the measurement results.

Versions of the mask

There are 4 versions of the mask.

Type 87 and its full set

The first version of the MF-11 was called Type 87 since it was introduced in the year 1987, although the name FMJ05 is also used to refer this version as well. This would be the first mask in the usage of the PLA that has a STANAG 4155 compliant 40mm port.

The resistor and carrying bag of the Type 87 gas mask are exactly the same as with FMJ05 version.

FMJ05 from Shanxi Xinhua and its full set

This is the second and latest version of the MF-11. The term "Type 87" was dropped for this version.

Drinking system

Some other variants have a drinking tube system on the side of the right cheek. The drinking system is similar to the MF15B. Its hydration straw directly connect to the bottle and the hydration cap of the mask. Although the principle of the hydration cap on the mask is similar to the Israeli ones, their threads do not match, meaning that the drinking system of this mask and the Israeli ones are incompatible with each other.

Hood

Not much is known about its hood other than the fact that it was issued only for special units of the Chinese PLA.
