This is a great point I should have had included in the review, but sometimes I forget other people have hair unlike me. Bald people have it easier when it comes to donning but some folk with sensitive skin can develop rash rather quickly while wearing the GP-5, sometimes after just a few minutes.

Hi there! No problem whatsoever, given the inside of the facepiece is clean of course.

You can't wear traditional glasses and this gas mask. However, there were special plastic inserts that allowed you to use corrective lenses. Regarding asbestos filters, I agree with your statement.

I checked the original manual and there was no mention of any sort of optical inserts so if you need glasses just to see a thing, bad luck. Your have a point about the filter in case of having nothing else available but again in my videos I can't leave a room for such scenario as people would automatically think it's OK to use it so I rather say don't use it at all. As I said, it's not about asbestos only, it's mainly about the fact these filters are useless at this point. Better than nothing? Sure. Should you use it? No, but in the end it's up to you to decide for yourself. You're on your own. 😎

Nope, they are long time discontinued. M-10Ms were made by Gumárny Zubří - the company which currently makes OM-90, CM-6M and OM-2020 respirators. The reason why you can get them in such quantities is simply because there are still many in existence, especially in Central Europe. They cost next to nothing, mainly because they are borderline useless.

@@cbrnacademythank you for answering my questions. I like to use an m10m because it’s cheap and I go shooting with it to make it more challenging

No idea. I don't consider MIRA's third-party gadgets relevant but if someone sends us stuff for testing and reviewing, we wouldn't say no.

A very good point, so let me explain! When you watch our tutorial on how to use a gas mask, or any gas mask review of ours, I always tell people to exhale sharply after donning, which is a way of clearing. The reason is that many gas masks don't have the exhalation chamber located the way Avon masks do, so in many cases it's not as easy to cover it effectively. That's why I'm always doing clearing the way I do to show people a more universal method. It's not something I made up, it's a regular clearing procedure in many armies that use other than Avon respirators.

@@cbrnacademy thank you

You can get the FM50/C50 and FM54 respirators in the US without any issue from Avon's e-shop. No clue when it comes to FM53 however. Didn't I mention I got if from one of our supporters in the video?

We are still going to release it, however now we wait for additional devices to test along the three we currently have.

No. That's more of a proper storage thing and in case of many respirators you can't do anything about it as some composites were not built to last. What kind of respirator you have in mind? In case of Avon C50 and FM12, the rubber is very durable and never becomes sticky, at least in case of mine.

@@cbrnacademy thank you for the info. I have an Avon M50. I store it in its bag, inside a pelican case, inside a climate controlled room. 2 months ago I cleaned it. I pulled it out again recently and notice a light sticky texture to some areas. Is it possible that’s a result of the mask not being fully dry when I stored it? I was able to wipe the sticky texture off.

Just say you hate me and want to see me suffer, haha. The MP5 makes OM-90 look like a solid respirator in comparison. But it's a reasonable enough request so we might do it once that plastic abomination crosses me again.

The MP-5 gas mask is the worst thing that has ever happened to me. It is stiff as a cat's tail, uncomfortable, difficult to fit. After an hour of wearing it, a ditch appears on the forehead that does not disappear for the next 48 hours and you have to explain to everyone that it is not from hitting a table. In addition, after a short time the glass of this mask becomes cloudy and yellow. The MP-5 is a licensed version of the French ARFA mask. I really do not know why such a terrible product was purchased. In Poland, the MP-5 mask is now being replaced with the MP-6 mask, which is light, ergonomic, has low breathing resistance, is comfortable and can be easily adjusted to the head.

I mean if you ever have to use a gasmask I doubt you will be too picky to care if it contains asbestos. Besides it's doubtfull you will live long enough to care about the risks of asbestos exposure

Random chinese filters.... have you heard what you have said?

You can't actually feel that at all while wearing the mask. The sweat accumulates in various parts "under the hood" and the only thing I noticed was there were more and more drops of sweat sliding my ear canal, so the surprise after the doffing was genuine. However, I was imagining how it would feel in let's say minus temperatures or really cold weather. Should I do a winter GP-5 test when the time comes?

@@cbrnacademy most definitely, if you wanna be extra funny about it you can put one of those snap to activate hand warmers in there for "comfort" or a shamwow to ring out

@@cbrnacademy In cold weather, you don't sweat as much because there's no need for it: heat is dissipated by conduction. I can confirm, however, that on warmer days, sweat collects very quickly inside and flows into the ears. I try to move the sweat that collects to the bottom of the mask as much as possible, where it is then partially removed in the form of drops with the exhaled air.

🤣🤣🤣

Hi there! Some people used the M-10 rather extensively on our civil defense trainings and no one ever had any sort of health problems. Chromium was present in the cheek filters of some very old US gas masks but even in these cases the amount of it was not substantial and thus not hazardous. The M-10 filters are safe, but very old and at this point they provide very little protection apart from particle filtration. What you might have inhaled is the powder that was meant to preserve the rubber. It's always a good idea to wash masks like these with a lukewarm soap water before wearing to remove the powder and rubber crumblings from the inside of the facepiece. As I said, the masks are old and don't age well.

@@cbrnacademy Thank christ, i had an early mid-life crisis in my head. Going to get the mask a nice washing. I was just going to use it for cosplay reasons so the protection value just needs to be physical to survive mild movement. Many thanks!

@@cbrnacademy If i may, i am having trouble turning the inlet grids since i have the M-10, do i have to knock off the metal wire running inside? I don't want to accidentally scratch up the entire thing just to turn it and there is 0 videos or guides on how to do it. Cheers

@@The-nr6yg I wanted to include the spring removal process in the video but I wasn't willing to pay for another crappy surplus mask just for this small addition. Yes, you need to remove the spring first, then you can rotate the grid freely. Use some pointy thin tool to grab one end of the spring from the bottom and it will jump out of its place. Once you turned the grid, attached the spring back with your fingers. Repeat with the second valve ;)

No idea, they weigh the same as the "real ones". Once I get more info, I'll make video about it.

They only have partical filters. thats what they did with the 3m breathe easy papr traing filters to be cheep.

Yep, the Counter CBRN Aide Memoire is a very helpful book. Since we're currently finishing a review of the GSR gas mask (the current British one), I found lots of vital information about the gas mask, which I was unable to find anywhere else.

We're glad the video quality upgrade is noticeable

I'm tempted to say yes just for the fun of it but it's not. Believe it or not, my life doesn't revolve around gas masks as this channel is just my hobby project. In any case, my ready to be deployed respirator is always attached to a PAPR unit. Positive pressure negates this ages old problem. We will address this topic however in the third episode of "what can get you killed" series and you will surely see me clean shaven for our upcoming CS spray test of older gas masks.

@@cbrnacademy I was partly joking, looking forward to new vids!

I got one of ebay for 50 euro. Came with bag, mask, hose, filter, gloves, some type of nbc cover, spare lenses or a spare voice diaphragm

@@Pigeon_z I wrote that a month ago and i got a shms with hose and the bag but without the filter for just 25€

Damn you and your cullinary suggestions! If I'm not doing civil defense and CBRN gear related stuff, I cook and prepare meals cause it's fun and I love it. So, thanks! 🤣🤣🤣

This is interesting, tell me more as we're currently shooting GSR/FRR review. Did they break while in use? You have an idea why? Was it an electronics failure or mechanical? My guess is electronics. Needlessly complicated with way too many functions.

Even though I agree with your point, it's obvious you never tried to inhale freshly shred root of horseradish. Man, I though my lungs were done due to some form of chemical burn, but I was OK after a minute or so 😭😂 We'll eventually make a short about it as well. ☠

I recently acquired two of them as I wanted to make a better video, but only complete sets as shown in the unboxing.

Stále aktuálne v roku 2024, čo viac treba povedať o stave OSSR :) ENG: Still relevant in 2024. What more needs to be said about the state of the Slovak Armed Forces :)

I will take a look, thanks for the tip! So far I only came across rubber-preserving pouders so this is a new one to me.
