When I was still on tanks, our M40 gas masks came with long tubes to attach to each crew compartment in the tank. The tank had its own NBC filtration system so you could use that instead of a canister. Typically the commander and loader would use canisters to allow for easier movement and to be able to easily get out of the tank if needed. The gunner and driver would connect to the vehicle system. Best part was, the NBC system on the tank would naturally make the air cold after the filtering process. So we would take the hoses and shove them into the crotch of our coveralls to blow cold air on our jimmies while operating during the summer. Contrary to popular belief, the M1A1 does not have air conditioning. The M1A2 does, however it rarely ever works.
@Skeksoval imagine you are i fight and you must change your filter so you just screw off the old and screw on then new one... BUT YOU, you must close eyes, hold your breath and change the filters which will take you like minute and you must do it blind and no breathing.
Awesome video mate. Just ordered 2 GP-5 masks and have also bought 2 of the Chinese standardised hoses so I can use NATO filters with them. Cheap and better than nothing.
As far as I'm aware they just used dust masks, standard Soviet ShM-41 masks and maybe IP-4 re-breathers? I've done a video on the IP-5 and I have a video coming up on the ShM-41.
They used IP-4 rebreathers specially designed for that aswel as IP-5 these were specailly made for liquidation also not sure if you mentioned it, interesting fact, soviet hoses had one more purpose, it was either connect it to oxy tank or have filter for like military masks in bag so you wouldn't bash your teeth out while running with such soft gp5 bottom feeding filter mask types.
Longer hose, more air to clear before you suck thru filter, hoses make it marginally more difficult to breathe, but that's still way better than breathing in whatever your trying to filter!
Respect man. I love your knowledge on this and your accent makes me that much more interested. So I just ordered myself a gp5 with a carry case and an activated charcoal filter all for around $40 US. I probably could have found it cheaper but I want it now lol. Just wondering, how do you spell the name of the newer 40mm filters you said would fit it. Is it stag? I’m trying to order a bunch of filters for it. Thanks man
Russian filters are 40mm GOST, NATO STANAG filters won't fit them properly without modifying the mask. Polish FP5 filters will fit the GP-5 and are safe to use.
Basically every task soldier needs to do suddenly becomes easier if you have a hose attached filter (or theoretically even cheek filter, but from that arises one new problem): your head is not weighed down by filter, filter does not get in a way of aiming, filter does not get in a way of crawling (even side-attached filters don't solve that 100%) and you can last longer in hostile environment.
The early Gas Masks were cloth handkerchiefs coated in urine but soon the real gas masks were the type that you have shown which was coated in Bicarbonate of Soda an Alkaline solution to counteract the Acid in the Gases used. Hope that this is helpful
you are the first one i ever heard talking about asbestos so thank you, i have some old west german filters from the 80, do you think they got asbestos? the video is good.
I think a few people have mentioned it long before I made videos but it was mostly just speculation over if a certain filter had asbestos in or not. As for the Drager West German filters, they should be absolutely fine if they have a date stamp on them, the only issue is WW2 German filters look very similar and do as far as I'm aware contain asbestos.
I was wondering if you were to cut open an expired/used filter and put in new activated charcoal and duct tape it back up if it would protect you from aerosols. It would be a neat testing video and I bet you have plenty of expired/used filters laying around. Thanks.
With some masks it's a lot easier to get a cheek weld on a rifle when you have a tube to a filter as opposed to a big clunking filter on your cheek...that's why the m40 has two filter ports, so you can put it on the opposite side of your rifle, but if you only have one port, a hose may be a good fix
Have you heard anything about the Soviet Gp5 hoses being coated in toxic chemicals and unsafe to breath through? I read a comment mentioning that and can’t find any other information regarding it.
Interestingly before the EBR or SBR (Small Box Respirator) there was the LBR (Large Box Respirator) which used the British Army enamel water bottle as the basis for the filter tower.
That's it, there are period photos of them being worn but they were short lived and not standard issue, many were issued to men of the RE Special Companies or Royal Artillery responsible for effecting British gas attacks (cloud and shell respectively) as they required the best protection available so got whatever was at the cutting edge of anti gas kit where possible. s3.amazonaws.com/gwfattachments/monthly_2017_01/5885db27e4a63_Largeboxrespirator.jpg.d3d82b3f0021930bd254d76d555b813e.jpg
Filter is perfectly safe if you don't breath through it, in most nations illegal to throw in regular waste due to the asbestos contents, just leave the filter sealed and don't breath through it.
With an old GSR MK V or MK IV is there a way to take the filter off and clean the hose? If so what would you recommend to clean the inside of the hose with?
I have the mk 5, but because i was gonna use it for halloween, me and my dad removed the filter via cutting the tiny metal "rod" at the end of the hose and then washed the mask itself. It looks brand new, besides the eyes.
Yeah you can remove the filter that way, a friend and I removed the hose and filter from his MK4 mask, soldered a Soviet 40mm intake to the bottom of the mask's pipe and now you can put GOST filters on it. If he finds it I'll do a video on it.
From a financial and even survival point if view the big filters with hose make a lot more sense. I could imagine a huge canister like that would last a very long time as opposed to the little overpriced filters we get these days.
@@Weaponsandstuff93 say you seem to know a lot about this stuff ..I'd like to get a Scott Aviva 40 half face mask just to have the option of being able to use the 40mm filters but I'm mainly after A2 filters so obviously shouldn't cost as much as abek rated ones. Do you know who makes the cheapest 40mn a2 filters? Or am I better off to stick with 3m
Does the rubber hose contain asbestos in it, I ordered a gp5 Soviet gas mask and I’m worried that the rubber hose will have some asbestos in it, I will be unscrewing the filter
are there modern filters that can attach to hoses of older soviet masks, i prefer the look of older masks with hoses but obviously want a safe to use mask-air filters maybe?
@@Zurgo-fl1kx if Briz makes PMK2 and PPM88 in both GOST and NATO version, they should be making ShMP (Black GP5) also in NATO, because they are still produced

Actually, when i got into gas masks i knew about it, but when i was a kid i thought it was with the air tank
Could you do a video about the gas masks used by the chernobyl liquidators
As far as I'm aware they just used dust masks, standard Soviet ShM-41 masks and maybe IP-4 re-breathers?

Are there any masks you find easier to use with a hose than without?
Any of the Soviet masks with a downwards filter intake.
Longer hose, more air to clear before you suck thru filter, hoses make it marginally more difficult to breathe, but that's still way better than breathing in whatever your trying to filter!

If you were somehow able to reweld it in theory yes, however cutting filters open in general is a really stupid idea.
It's as-best-as you get in Matka Rosseya!
The automatic reaction to having to wear a gas mask is making Darth Vader breath noises.
my dad`s a cop and we live in Bulgaria.We use this gas mask with this A S B E S T O S filter.
Better than nothing
You could insert a suitable inline particle filter between hose and user. Mesothelioma killed and injured millions and it's not a pleasant death.
With some masks it's a lot easier to get a cheek weld on a rifle when you have a tube to a filter as opposed to a big clunking filter on your cheek...that's why the m40 has two filter ports, so you can put it on the opposite side of your rifle, but if you only have one port, a hose may be a good fix
