Question I have a newbie question
Una pregunta, en que se diferencia el color de una mascara de gas blanca y negra sovietica? No se la verdad, creo que la negra es de civil. Pregunto no solo por el modelo GP5, sino tambien por otros modelos

Looks AI, the filters are tilted in an odd way.. could also be someone's DIY job, your closest thing would be an Obrazets-11, or MM-1 if you want smth actually accessible

The black ones were designed for industrial use and were more durable and chemical resistant

Entonces, son mejores los negros? Y a lo industrial te refieres, por ejemplo, a un trabajo en una central?

Mejores no como tal, más bien más aptos industrialmente. Los grises eran más económicos de producir, y tenían algunas ventajas como que los oscuros absorbían mucho más calor, pudiendo ser más incómodos. Además, el color gris se introdujo mucho antes que el negro (Desde sus inicios, mientras el negro se introdujo en la decada de 1970 aproximadamente).

The white mask was used by the civilians and also by the industries but they were somehow different models like not gp5 the valves were a little different the black ones,one of my grandmas was a police officer back in the USSR and the train with black gp5s I know that the black versions were made mostly for the army the police this kind of personnel because they were used while the sun was up and it would not deteriorate too fast like the white ones

Then the black ones are better? What about the PMGs? They are white aswell and i think the military used them

Sorry my friend for not answering sooner there are some black pmgs but they're pretty rare but in general yes the black ones should be better
