Gas Masks in Popular Culture?

[DarkSin]

Alright... Halloween is coming up and I'm supposed to be in costume tomorrow, and all I have is basically just a Soviet PMK gas mask.

(Black instead of silver parts though...)

Ironically, I've been planning this for a couple months but all I've had in my head was "Oh yeah, I'm gonna have a gas mask, it's going to be totally awesome."

Problem: I don't actually know what or who I'm dressing up as.

I need your help in finding people who wear / have worn similar masks whether in a game, movie, TV show, anime, etc.

That kid off Doctor Who.

Don't know Doctor Who.

Halp?

I have an older version of that mask, it's called the GP-7V. Also here is my "work" costume.

And yes I am ripped.

Ah, the GP-7V is actually the "civilian" version of the PMK, hence the circular lenses rather than the triangular lenses.

[Ronin]

I think it looks meaner and more imposing.

[DarkSin]

Yeah, the smaller lenses make it show less of the face, I'm getting mine tinted though.

Also, you wrapped the drinking tube around the inhaling part of the mask?

You have to, the tube is rather long and that is the only way you can keep it from flailing about. Although I wrapped it wrong :(

Anyway you should try stalker or terrorist, probably be the most effective.

[DarkSin]

I tried wrapping it like that once, 'cause I thought it looked cooler, but it didn't fit as tightly as it did around the voicebox.

Yeah, I'll probably just do stalker. It gives me more room to be creative. XD

HUNK from Resident Evil has a similar mask.

Hunk uses an AVON S-10 from the UK, not a Russian-made mask. Only difference is the red lenses he's put in instead of the clear ones that come standard.
