The Israeli and current issue US military masks have the advantage o no having to remove the mask for a filter change.

I had the first one when I was in the Army and when I asked in Basic what happened if your filter had to be changed and you were still in a contaminated area. Drill Sgt said simply, "You're dead private"

I do like the Israeli mask.. The filters in the east German masks are a pain to install even if you're not in a dangerous situation.

That's not an East German mask, that is a genuine US military surplus M-17 gas mask.

My favorite...

Cheap, comes with a cool bag, and if you need to you can shoot a rifle with it on. (Sorry, lefties.)

Yep, the early version fo the M-40.

New version shave filter mounting points on either side for left or right handed shooters.

It is an East German/Czech M-10 Mask.. Similar to the M-17. I'm not familiar with the M-17, but the intake diaphragm assembly on the M-10 has a tiny plastic key holding it all together. It breaks easily, and makes the mask pretty much useless.

I have that one as well. It is 'cooler' looking than the Israeli one, and that bag comes in handy.

Well, sure if you want to look at life through biohazard colored glasses.

Then its a copy of the M-17. US military began using that style in 1959 or so.

Terrible design do to the filter placement and inability to change filters on the fly.

M-17:

AH! One difference I see is that the EG one does not have a drinking tube.

TomServo · Post by **TomServo** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 7:52 pm

Yup...it's a cheap copy. Literally..paid less than $20 for mine, but did the job during our whiteouts last year. Wouldn't bet my life on one in a chemical attack.

Those are good choices, however there is still a better solution to total dust protection....

Actually, I think I already built that...I just painted mine green. Anyone remember getting greeted by a green astronaut in '06? (We had First Open Gate Shift on Monday night.)

The Israeli one comes with the drink tube.

Sail Man · Post by **Sail Man** » Thu Feb 05, 2009 9:29 am

I love my drinking tube, I just wish it was a little longer. Works nicely with a power hitter as well.

Oops, did I say power hitter? Uh, I meant to say.....umm...positive pressure ventilator. Yeah, thats it
