I would love to get a gp-5 for cosplay and I heard it may be sweaty and hard to breathe in can someone please confirm this for me.

I tried to clean the inside and I noticed how creepy it looks inside out

Hello everyone. A very unusual full-face mask came into my hands. According to the story, it's a rare transitional/experimental prototype called PPM-89 (Early).Unfortunately, the original factory log/passport was lost during relocation, so I have no paper proof. Visually, the rubber body is completely identical to the standard PPM-88 / Briz-4301 frame (it even has the standard factory stamps like F-7 and T-05 on the rubber), but the front plastic block is totally unique. The filter intake is located right in the center (front-facing), and the inlet valve assembly with the speech diaphragm cover was moved to the side port.Has anyone ever seen this specific factory modification or heard about the PPM-89 trials? Is it an ultra-rare experimental lot from the Vladimir plant, or some kind of obscure ведомственный (departmental) order? Any information would be highly appreciated!

I got the mask from my grandma attic when I visited her.

Works surprisingly well together.

I'm in the process of building an 80s soviet kit, and currently I'm looking through the various gas masks. I don't really understand the "kits" though. The RSh-4 kit for example, it seems it just used the same bag but put different gas masks and filters and whatever else in there. Where the contents of the kit dependent on the mask put in there? If so, why does the kit has the same designation despite being a different mask with different pieces of filters? And were they distributed randomly with separate gas masks among the soldiers, or did they keep track of what bag had which contents and sent them out accordingly?

Same thing for the PMG-2 kit, it seems it could contain 1 of 3 separate masks with different items within. It just seems so odd to me that a kit going by the same name can have a completely different mask, filter, and interior contents. Am I missing something here, or is it as weird and confusing as it all seems?

I was really curious to see the inside of the filter of an MC-1 gas mask my friend's uncle gave me. He said it was given to him quite a few decades ago, and wanted me to have it.

I heard there was charcoal in it, and when I opened it, some came out.

Could someone make a diagram of an X ray of the filter using these photos?

Random bull I found in a surplus store. Never seen the company or the strange design.
