So, we’re going to look at everything you need to know about protective gas masks filters: from their practical function and specifications to the logistics of storing them and, should the need arise, putting them to potentially life-saving use. That’s a mistake that can cost you time and money…or something even more important. These complicated factors are often overlooked by new and even experienced buyers. Creating a working gas mask filter takes specialized knowledge of how to impregnate carbon with a key balance of metal salts and then treating the blend with chemicals to pass strict testing requirements. ![]() The craftsmanship of their construction matters just as much as the science behind their effectiveness. If you live in an urban area or where you think this may be a possibility, then the GP-5 is good to have.A single filter can protect you from all of the contamination from a nuclear meltdown for forty full hours, while another filter could help you safely navigate the smoky environment of a house fire to reach safety.īut each gas mask filter has its limitations…Įach filter has a shelf life, classification, specs and price. And it will indeed protect you from OC and teargas that will be used liberally by law enforcement in times of civil unrest. Its easy on, just stretch over your head, you have complete head coverage, pull the canister stopper…….and you’re in business!!!!!įor the price, you cant beat it. Look for Eastern European sellers, that’s where the old warehouses were, they know what they are selling and should give you a sizing chart to order from. The mask should be sized correctly, if a seller tells you one size fits all…….they don’t know what they are selling, and you will most likely be paying too much for it. The Canister will cost you 3 times more than the mask itself. Throw the old Soviet canister away, as all are expired, buy a modern industrial canister for it, most will run about $35 apiece. The GP-5 comes to you (or should) with a military cloth carrying case, a can of anti fog, disposable lens rounds (keep the aluminum can, throw the anti fogs away….junk), and a canister. He told me that wearing that would indeed protect me from any OC and teargas. ![]() The GP-5 will shine against those things without any doubt, I have a buddy that was an ex deputy marshal and prison guard before that. The reason I picked this mask up is to protect myself from the two most likely things that I will run into, and they are OC and Teargas. That is a scary fact folks, prepping for it is like a terminally ill cancer patient stopping smoking…….too little, too late. My attitude is that with modern biological, chemical warfare the way it is, you will most likely be infected before you are even aware of the threat. That’s all fine and dandy, but I wouldn’t trust it for biological. Tests made in Poland on the GP-5 rated it effective for chemical / biological / nuclear protection for up to 24 hours. If you are looking for a serious biological warfare mask………then keep looking. The GP-5s are new as they have never been used, and were kept in storage. If you are looking for a cheap, fast on, fast off gas mask, this is for you. The GP-5 is one of the things they started selling, it is like all things from the old Soviet Union, simple but practical. So they started selling it off to the west. They had huge underground warehouses full of equipment they hoped they would never have to use.Īfter the collapse of the Soviet Union, some of the satellite nations broke away, becoming independent, but still had the Soviet civil defense stockpiles in their country. The civil defense system had to equip millions of men women and children with the basics in case of war. When the cold war was going on, the Russians built some extensive bomb shelters in most of the major cities in the Soviet Union. Hi, Today I would like to talk about the Soviet GP-5 gas mask.
