    "I think the interesting thing about Israeli gas masks is, they were actually designed to be used." If that isnt just a profound statement.
    I'm a US civilian. My only concerns are CS/CN and industrial accidents. But the Israelis, yeah, they take gas attack prep seriously.

    How do you feel the M-15 compares to the USA M-40-A1. I wore the M40 in the US army and while it was an effective mask against the chemical agents we trained with (tear gas), it the system seems a bit complex to me. What are your thoughts on it? Do you think the M40-A1 is over-engineered?

It fits into the threaded hole where the filter would go normally. There's a small hole maybe half a centimeter wide in the center of the cup. Do you know what that might be?

      pitbull32052 glasses work well with the m15. Because the corners of the glasses will lock into the curves of the eye pieces. I removed the ear hooks so its just the front of the glasses. I only have the front part of the glasses in my mask. I wrapped tape on the bridge so it stays flat in the mask. Once u put on the mask ur glasses will fit in the correct position. But it may vary with the size of ur glasses, I’m using an old pair that happens to be the right fit.

    These seem to be the most versatile of most masks around. I suppose these will be good as multi purpose masks.

Do you know what their function is?

    Hi. Hope you see this message, just bought a couple of israeli civilian gas masks, they should be from 2012. There is no markings on the box or the filter. But on the inside of the gas mask it reads 27/94. Does this meen its from 94? It allso comes with a light brown filter, and not the silver or black one. Any feedback?

    • @Weaponsandstuff93

      The 94 most likely means the mask was made in 1994 however the Israeli filters were made in black, brown, green, tan and silver so the filter is most likely fine.

    I've got a few of the Israeli Model 4 masks, the one without the drinking tube and voice diaphram. They came with a white cap type thing screwed into the filter port, with a small hole at the far end. Do you know if that was intended provide breathing resistance to be used as a practice filter, or just a protective cover with a hole in it so someone doesn't suffocate if they forgot to unscrew the cap before donning the mask? Dumb question but I'm curious, and I can't get Google image translate to decipher the manual correctly

      No idea I've seen them before but have no idea what they are actually for.

      Thanks for the reply. I tried breathing through the mask with it on but it's hard to draw air. Much harder than with a filter on. I do like those masks though.

    Strange. I have a 4a1 but it has no drinking tube port. After some research, I couldn't find any Israeli mask which doesn't have one. What type could it be?

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  5 років тому

      Maybe an original Drager Simplex?

      Maybe that's the Shalon 4.

    The hood thing is being produced now, But they did give out gas masks the last time there was a chemical threat (I still have a few at home) I think they tried using the hood, thought it wasn't good enough and are now optimizing it for civilian use

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  6 років тому +1

      Interesting, as long as you have a blower unit hoods would generally work fine, issue is if you hand out masks to civilians I guess they need to be as easy to use as possible.

    • @generationofwonders787
      @generationofwonders787 6 років тому

      Weaponsandstuff93 I used to have one of the hoods back In 2003-4 I think, from what I remember, it didn't work when we opened it after the threat was clear, maybe a manufacturing problem?

    • @generationofwonders787
      @generationofwonders787 6 років тому

      OK so I asked around, apparently they only supplied the hoods to children for some reason, and adults got the regular civilian gas mask, and they stopped using it for cost reasons. I'm currently looking if I could find my old one from 2002, it's not sealed but I don't remember them recalling it

    Hello. I have found the m15 mask in new condition for sale at Ebay. However, I have been unable to find a source for new replacement filters for the same mask. Would you happen to know of a source where I could purchase these filters new of recent manufacturer? Thanks for your time and consideration. Sincerely James.

    • @Weaponsandstuff93

      Search RD40 filters into eBay or Amazon and you should be able to get standard 40mm filters for reasonable prices.

    I’ve bought a civilian model and everything I put it on, I inhale something and I get a metal taste in my mouth, and I have a hard time breathing after wearing it, well that’s where I am now anyway, maybe I haven’t washed it probably or perhaps some dust got into it from the production line, but I would really appreciate an answer

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  5 років тому

      Is this with a filter on it?

    • @dryridley208
      @dryridley208 5 років тому

      Weaponsandstuff93 no, the filter is still sealed up completely

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  5 років тому

      The mask won't work without the filter on it.

    • @dryridley208
      @dryridley208 5 років тому

      Weaponsandstuff93 I know that, but the inside of the mask itself was dusty or covered with something that I inhaled and ruined my breathing, I’m much better now, but I’m still going to a clinic right now to make sure everything is fine

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  5 років тому

      Voltenic I've done it, it's a mess but really not so bad. My Gunney puked in his mask when he went through the gas chamber the first time.

    • @Weaponsandstuff93

      It comes mostly out the exhale port.

    • @Weaponsandstuff93

      Exhale valves can be easily replaced with normal umbrella valves you can find online or hardware stores.

    If you breathe in non-contaminated air with the filter does it use it up

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  5 років тому

      Yes but slowly as there is always odours and dust in the air

    the second one you talked about not the civilian one but the other does it have a water tube?

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  6 років тому

      Both have drinking tubes, they are in the same place on both masks, left cheek facing you, right cheek when worn.

    I have the shalon 4a1 or 481, don't know what it was called from memory and it has cloth straps, not rubber, does that mean its cheaper?

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  6 років тому

      No it was just made at a different time, the 4a1 has been in production for around 40 years, so the design has changed over time.
