Can somebody identify the shit the guy on the far right (yeah, it's late, i meant right but said left) is wearing? I'm too lazy to research, and I might make this a project for next winter or something.

I'm getting a mixture of the dude on the [i]far[/i] left and the [i]far[/i] right. Balaclava and bucket helmet FTW

I would definitely do it with a boonie too, I love boonies

I am going to make a really obscure loadout once my neo-Russian-greenguy one is done. Which of these sounds the best? 1. Vietcong 2. Taliban 3. Some sort of hella poor rebel

he should go with a loner STALKER loadout

I think I'll do taliban just to piss off amerifag airsofters

At the very least Kill001 will know something about this. What is a comfortable gasmask that will work with glasses? Needs to be US Army Kosher. IE: Gasmasks the Army has used in the past 30-40 years. Vietnam-Current. [editline]27th March 2011[/editline] I have an M17 and I can't breath with it on because the filters are full of sand or some shit from the Gulf. Aside from that there is no way to fit glasses in there and I enjoy my sight. [editline]27th March 2011[/editline] Does not have to ANSI-rated. Do not want lenses inserts unless I can just pop my glasses in there without any modification.

So I could fight (like a boss) wearing [url=http://www.sovietarmystuff.com/Product_149_Soviet_Military_Latex_Rubber_Gas_Mask_PMG.html]this[/url] and not have the glass break/run without suffocating?

No, I just want it for a costume. Gasmasks are shit for Airsoft and you can't breathe in them. The lenses are usually plastic or glass and shatter when BB's hit them. I literally only know of one gasmask that is ANSI rated. Funfact I own a PMG mask. The lenses are glass and will blind you when they shatter.

[editline]27th March 2011[/editline] [img_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/TRA1kB.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Alright, thanks for clearing that up.

Couldn't you laminate the lenses, so they'd shatter but wouldn't splinter and fly all over the place? Or simply replace them.

I don't know anything about laminating, I wouldn't trust it though, I really wouldn't. And as for replacing them, you mean replacing them with ANSI rated lenses? Unless you can make your own that's not really an option, only a handful of gas masks sell aftermarket ANSI lenses.

@1st, how would that work? @2nd, much harder said than done. Attaching them would be a pain in the ass, nevermind making the lenses.

[QUOTE=Mbbird;28834967]@1st, how would that work? [/QUOTE] It's assuming you could take them out, it'd work like safety glass.

It's also assuming they're only going to withstand a few shots and that that's okay with the wearer.

[QUOTE=Nifae;28836148]You realize those filters are very old, right? I dunno if they're safe. :ohdear:[/QUOTE] There's only one way to find out, and that's by opening them and seeing if there's asbestos. For that reason I have hollowed out all my old Russian filters.

Are redsoldier.com and sovietarmystuff.com good websites?

[QUOTE=xxncxx;28836981]Are redsoldier.com and sovietarmystuff.com good websites?[/QUOTE] Not sovietarmystuff. Redsoldier, Skippersmilitary, and Soviet-Propaganda are where to go.

[QUOTE=FPKawaii;28837285]Not sovietarmystuff. Redsoldier, Skippersmilitary, and Soviet-Propaganda are where to go.[/QUOTE] Thanks, I noticed Sovietarmystuff had higher prices than Redsoldier so I figured to stay away from there anyways.

Sovietarmystuff has the backpack I need. The rucksack. :ohdear:

Ehh dunno where to post this so I'll ask here, is there any manufacturers that make a replica MICH 2000 in size Large? I have a replica MICH 2000 from Condor and it's too small, it sits really high on my head and looks dumb. Or are they all the same pretty much?

If I had some kind of respirator and a pair of goggles, would that work? Or would the BBs penetrate the respirator?

[QUOTE=Nifae;28836148]You realize those filters are very old, right? I dunno if they're safe. :ohdear:[/QUOTE] Those filters were originally made for the GP-5, which was made after they stopped using asbestos in them.

[QUOTE=Nifae;28836148]You realize those filters are very old, right? I dunno if they're safe. :ohdear:[/QUOTE] They're safe. All filters after a certain point stopped using asbestos. All these popular Russian ones are still used by Police today. PMG, PBF, PMG2, GP-5 etc.

Uhh, Russia definitely doesn't use this relic anymore. [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/Gasm.jpg[/img]
