Soviet GP-5 VS Chinese TF-1 Gas Mask/Respirator 

Moist mask.

Believe me, after three months of continuous use, the wet look will be gone, especially if you wash it pretty often.

Derpinator 3000 🤣 1.8 million of them were imported to east Germany alone. LOL! “Rare” indeed. 😆

I have seen someone selling an israeli gas mask for $200 I looked at the reviews and it used to be like $20-$40 but after covid they raised the price

@@thecrabempire5767 200 dollars? Wow, i have 3 in my basement bc in israel they hand them every year if im not wrong, but i didnt open them, they are not rare AT ALL

I saw one for $40.00

Meanwhile I only see £5 gp5’s

@@gavina777 mr foster is from killing floor, he just has a mask in payday 2

@@gavina777 i mean, you said 2 words

gas mask finn he’s not from payday he’s from Killing Floor

Mr. Foster - Killing Floor 1/2.

You rinse it with soap and water and that's it.

I have a GP-5, I probably have lung cancer. GP-5 for life tho

@@aidenthepropmaker5805 just eat the filter then

Pretty sure in all seriousness TF classic and TF2 predate this mask

Weaponsandstuff93 wow, that actually surprises me. Looks like a Cold War era mask considering it’s based on the SHM-41.

Pyro wears an s10

Chromium.

well, good game it is but it fucked up the gasmasks pretty bad

@@djketoldaluusbkabel585 yea, the only ones that look like they're based on something were Mute's and Thatcher's masks

“Don’t ask what’s in tha canasta”

Yes they are faster to put on but you need a mask that is more forgiving to your size, otherwise they won't fit.

And long hair is painful

@@Weaponsandstuff93 can you make a vid about it?

@@Isolierter_Hazim Already have

@@Weaponsandstuff93 I have one but the seller advertised the wrong size, so i bought it thinking it was a size 3, but when it came in the mail i saw its actually a size 0, but even though its a VERY wrong size for me and i have long hair ( wich i heard can make getting a good seal on masks hard), i still get a 100% perfect seal. And surprisingly, as long as i fit my chin in it properlly it isn't even *that* unconrfortable. This is why i love the helmet mask design

I might test that with a NATO filter on the GP-5 at some point, as lots of people have suggested it before.

I did a video a while ago on my more interesting gas masks, that's basically the video you want.

You'd have to put another filter in first and then use duct tape around the filter join, not fool proof though.

Other than the dodgy exhale valve.

I guess it just sticks.

Weaponsandstuff93 I'm guessing whatever material it is, it sticks to itself after a while

Maybe an Israeli gas mask? Not sure.

It'd depend on where you live and the surplus market in that location.

+Cheeki Soviet Slav Well watch that video then.

Israelis civ pretty cheap, got one for around 15-20$

Cheeki Soviet Slav German m65, but only if it fits you, so better go to a surplus store and try it on, if it fits you it is a VERY good mask, as it has an oral nasal cup.

Take the metal cover off, gently peel the valve open, of it still sticks get a replacement valve.

@@Weaponsandstuff93 How am i supposed to take the cover off?

No, I have a modern Chinese 40mm hose on order so I'll see if that works, typically, the Chinese use standardised threads on both ends of things, so in theory it should fit into GOST masks but take NATO filters.

That would be dope. I like the GP-5 (It's the one I leave in my car), but I'd like to put a NATO filter on it. Ideally I would get the TF-1, but I'm a bit sketched out by the faulty inhale valve.

Not much you can do, the rubber will be brittle on a GM-38 considering how old they are, and Nazi rubber quality.

Gm38's have a tendency to get stuck in the crumpled up position I have 4, if you can afford a mannequin head and a bottle of ballistol then that might do the trick. Get a proper plastic mannequin head mind not a styrofoam head because that will dry it out! If the mask will go on the head without tearing add a FEW DROPS to a paper towel and rub it around the mask. Leave it for a few weeks. If it's still heard add some more. You should find it will go more supple but it will have to stay on the hard for a long time to "keep" it's shape. But you could pack it up after.

Ok thanks so much

TF-1 for the most part because it can take NATO filters.

Mine came with the mask

Do you have a filter on it? Soviet diaphragms tend to vibrate a bit anyway.

Weaponsandstuff93 Yes. I have the filter and hose on and the vibration seems to come from the lower portion of the mask (the inhale/exhale assembly)

If you peel back the valves and look inside is anything broken?

Weaponsandstuff93 I just peeled it back and nothing seems to be damaged and all the valves aren't sticking together either.

Probably not well, the GP-5 would survive the drop but there's a risk the 40mm intake would bend, making the mask useless.

The Chinese one should also be on ebay so I'd search it up on ther if you can't find it then it's probably on some website that you'll more than likely find by searching it on Google

Did you see the machete video from the other day?

Yeh good video pal!

Yes but it also has a different intake.

all thought that could save you in a life or death situation, it isnt a metal intake, i just think a mask should not be praised just because it has a diferent intake, the other aspects of the mask must be considered to

What's an SA1 mask? I don't recognise the name, I think the Finnish M61 V1 may have been called the SA1? Sounds like a good deal anyway for £15.

i say SA1 bcoz thats whats stamped up above the lenses i will upload a photo and tag you.

Ihave tagged you Liam with the video.

That smells awful.

Then buy it from the normal ebay, and why would you want to swap the exhale valves?

Weaponsandstuff93 from what I’ve heard, the exhale valves on the tf1 aren’t as good, also thanks for the tip.

Glad you like the videos.

Thanks weaponsandstuff93 for replying to me!!!!

Thanks.

It's a normalised thread, so fits most GOST and NATO masks.

@@Weaponsandstuff93 thanks

Not really, I have no intention of removing the cheek filters from any of my masks. If it's not a rare mask, get a knife and cut the inside of the cheek pouches open so it's easier to take them out.

Weaponsandstuff93 alright, thank you for the reply

Yeah basically, cheaper production version/thinner rubber, the majority of Soviet masks will have the Y on it because once they designed the cheaper versions they only made those.

Makes good Soviet sense.

You've basically just said, other than these major differences there are no differences.

The thickness of the threads and the shape of the threads are connected, so it's really just one thing different. The angle of the threads and the distance between them are the same. I measured it. It's always 5mm between the peaks of the threads.

Thanks.

Thanks

What’s your favourite gas mask

Nope

Pretty good other than the crap filter and dodgy exhale valve.

That would be short considering I would have 3 masks.

Interesting

I don't think it is by any decent margin.

Best Bethesda game.

Weaponsandstuff93 Morrowind is excellent

Impossible to answer really but an ABEK2-P3 filter or modern CBRN filter is generally pretty good, filters are situational though.

A little late, but maybe try washing it a few times?

May depend on which Chinese company made it.

@@Weaponsandstuff93 I don't know who made mine. It's definitely not green anymore lol. It's discolored quite a bit somehow but the mask itself still works fine.

No but they don't really work either.

Weaponsandstuff93, do the Chinese coffee can filters have asbestos? They look like EO-65 filters but the green is not the same and it has some Chinese writing.

A bit but it mostly comes down to what you expose the mask to.

Thanks

No WW2 filters are safe.

UrNotDefault I think a polish fp5 filter will work for a gp-5

UrNotDefault Any knew gost filter

know any name ?

+UrNotDefault Polish FP5.

UrNotDefault weapons and stuff dose

+jacob GP5

Weaponsandstuff93 why?

+jacob Light grey rubber and brown assembly, Polish MUA looks even better, shiny and zinc.

Weaponsandstuff93 I don’t like how the tf-1’s rubber is too shiny

A tube supplying air into the mask that also de-fogs the lens.

Weaponsandstuff93 oh awsome you learn something new everyday. Allso ive got a gp5 and a gp5m on the way from ukrain it says in the discription of both masks that there is no asbestos in tge filters wich look original and there are allso photos of them cut open with charcol so are they safe ?

Seller is a scumbag then, all Soviet filters contain asbestos, how many times do I need to repeat this.

Damn time travel

Shiny grey

the Toasty bagel did you measure your head?

No. No it won't

I doubt it.

ascended fashy no I’m 15 now and they thankfully got the order wrong and sent my a size 2Y and it fit me perfectly

right comrade

Avon CT12

Very very sweet

Weaponsandstuff93 hmm interesting I might pick some up for my room or something

Sorry i'am bad att english

the the tf-1 is better overall as the thread can be used with most types of filters however the gp-5 can only use ex-warsaw pact filters, other than that they are very similar.

GP-5 is better quality but yeah the TF-1 is better for modern use simply because it can take any 40mm filter.

the gp-5 just looks better to me

And i have two gp-5's

COP

Dude the gp5 is literally worth next to nothing - mine was five pounds

cheeki breeki you are right

Correct, warm breath in a cold room will fog it faster than a warm day for example.

Lots on eBay

Ouch

No

Yeah I thought of the same thing because it is drown

The valves are not as good on the TF-1 sadly.

The tf1 rubber is actually softer

Weaponsandstuff93 i bought the black one gp5 which might be softer

Technically didn't exist lol, Team Fortress quake mod, TF-Classic for HL1 and TF-2 for HL2 era
