I know similar kind of rebreathers but they're old yet they probably function on similar basis. Interested to learn more so hopefully someone will give us answers.

@@cbrnacademy The Navy had hundreds of 1000's, maybe millions, of these unused oxygen generating canisters...they had so many that we'd activate them during drills, just to go through them and throw them away with plenty use time left. I was younger, didn't take training as seriously as I do now (Or survival) But had I known then what I know now, I'd of kept track of those supply chains. Those oxygen generating canisters worked, and were about the size of a water canteen, and cheap to make. I wonder what they're using now? I'll do some prying...lol

Since the company is not existent anymore, I'm interested what price they were selling these for. Still, a big time shady operation - repacking useless Soviet junk, really nice business model.

@@cbrnacademy yeah, idk if in your country eBay is available but I have found many good places

We did try it but because we didn't film it due to a mistake, that part isn't included in this video unfortunately. But here's an excerpt from the script: "Using the FM53 mic with C50 resulted in rather good quality voice output, certainly less distorted as was the case with the original C50 microphone. "

Thank u for your reply many thanks we blessed with your videos

If they are green, metal, and have Russian writing, they are the old ones. If not, they are modern.

We bought the black contemporary one separately of course. GP-5 came only with the green metal one.

It's a great idea of course yet there are way too many factors to consider apart from respirators themselves. Like the country you live in and hence availability so we would have to limit the topic to specific regions. And of course I would have to get certain masks myself for testing like M40 or the Israeli Black diamond and many others. We'll put this topic on our list and we'll see what we can do about it.

@@cbrnacademy Because we're neighbors (I live in Poland) I'll let myself suggest our region of Europe for such video. 😅

Hi there, the SX label means "substance as specified by the manufacturer" so there should be a disclosure what substance the filter provides additional protection from. In case of my filters marked with SX, they provide added protection against phosgene gas. Again, the exact information needs to be disclosed by the manufacturer either on the filter label or in some kind of user manual. For more information and downloadable table with all the letters explanation, check out our tutorial on gas mask filters.

@@cbrnacademy Thanks for the info!

these instructions are universal, just clean your gas mask the same way I did in the video.

Since you mentioned this under a different video before, I asked a few people that used the VPU at their work and no one had a similar experience. I own the VPU for more than a year now and I use it regularly - no malfunction yet.

Generally speaking, you can't go wrong with Avon C50. It was one of the first respirators we reviewed and we still consider it unmatched for many reasons. Watch the review to find out more.

@@cbrnacademy i appreciate the response I will definitely look into it

It's not a coincidence that it's the most watched short video of ours, especially on TikTok

Was safe*, after a while the asbestos degrades therefore you inhale asbestos, plus the filter is practical useless since the activated carbon isnt activated anymore.

@@linearswitchguy95931, the asbestos is a compound. Therefore it will only release if damaged, and the amount of asbestos is less then what most people breathe in their lifetime (some late ones don’t even have asbestos, 2. Yes, most have been deactivated, however, there are still some late made ones that can still be effective

this weekend, it's set

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?

唐丰/普达 filters are quite trustworthy, two of the biggest brands in China.
