this is the first time i've got a video from a relatively unknown channel in my recommended, and actually wanted to watch all the way through it, super interesting video, good job!
I always wondered the name of this Gas Mask ever since I came across Snorks in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games. It's nice to learn more about this one, keep it up bro!
Сразу и удивился и обрадовался как только увидел название! Да, думал что гп-4 будет в видео когда фото увидел, но об этом я даже не мечтал, а видео как всегда отличное - Спасибо большое!
Another awesome video! I was always curious about this mask as well, i ended up getting the gp5 a long time ago. I always wanted to get a filter bag and hose for the gp5. Also, your other video about the filter specifically taught me that the one i recieved has in fact been opened before, as it wasnt wrapped nor did it pop. It actually looked a bit worn, now that i recall. Im sure itll be fine haha
Well, it doesn’t always pop, nor is the wrapping a mandatory sign. It’s just a good way to tell. I would just make sure that the filter isn’t specifically worn or damaged.
I never had a chance to see or use an M40, so I cannot construct a based opinion on it. From my knowledge, it is the counterpart to Soviet PMK series, and I have a good opinion on those. I would also be surprised if the US had a bad general purpose gasmask.
It is a Chinese commercial canteen for outdoor purposes inspired by some PLA canteen designs. They are still in production and you can easily get a brand new one on Chinese marketplaces I think.
I've heard that the GP-5 filter contains asbestos, but different sources say different things - some believe that its fine to breathe if the filter is not damaged while others advise not using old filters at all. Don't know about the GP-4 though as there is very little modern information online about it probably best not to breathe too much. Hope this helps!
@@INSVRGENT The asbestos is presumed to be contained in a type of Soviet paper fabric which is used in most gasmask filters. There are different sources with different opinions, but the ones I tend to believe more suggest that the kind of asbestos used in these filters is far less dangerous than the kind westerners are afraid of, it has something to do with particle shape within the fiber or something like that. However, there could be a bunch of other unfavorable stuff in old filters, especially if they were not stored properly. There is more detail to the asbestos thing but overall, I would not suggest using old filters seriously if there is any modern alternative on hand for multiple reasons.
@@NyxJinxxx Not really, no. They are both general purpose civil defense gasmasks. If anything, GP-4u is less comfortable to wear because of the connector tube and large filter. Important to note that for practical purposes neither are a good option as of right now because the filters are very old and expired. Their filtration capabilities are probably very degraded by now if they even remain at all. If you absolutely have to use one of them, GP-5 is better because it is likely newer.
I am probably going to make a video on the actual asbestos content in Soviet filters and the danger of it with all the details at this point. This is probably the 30th comment on asbestos. Thank you for your concern though.
Far from every, it mostly applies to older ones, but where there is, the asbestos is contained in a type of fabric used in filters, but the type of asbestos is different from the kind feared in the west and is a lot less cancerogenic. The microscopic fibers are of a different shape.
@@Silojedeburek19862 Whether you want to wear it or not is for you to decide. The general rule I would follow is if the filter isn't new, is damaged, or you are just unsure if its in good condition, avoid wearing it. In terms of asbestos, according to my information, the kind of asbestos used in Soviet filters does not present any additional threat to your respiratory system. But that is just my educated opinion on this topic.
Привет из россии! У нас противогазов хоть жопой жуй, особенно ГП-7, ГП-4у, ГП-5 и другие. Они стоят очень дёшево. Я сам коллекционирую противогазы, самый редкий экземпляр это лицевая часть от противогаза ПРВ-М четвёртого размера из последних партий. Удачи тебе товарищ! ;)
these videos deserve WAY more attention, because they are so cool and entertaining. I think you should do a video soon on the pmg.
Thank you for the feedback! I already got PMG requests, I will review it soon.
this is the first time i've got a video from a relatively unknown channel in my recommended, and actually wanted to watch all the way through it, super interesting video, good job!

The Snorks in Stalker wear RSh-4 gasmasks)
@@ProjectSparkPC Oh, I never knew.
@@ProjectSparkPCthis is gonna be a weird question but what song did you use for this video?
@@Bigdaddycletus It's "Moya Oborona" by Egor Letov, an instrumental version of it.

Great video! Always grand to see other youtubers making videos on gas masks
I really liked the video. Green environment, music and your calm voice blended so well that i wished that the video never ended. Cheers!
Damn, bro just casually pulls up with a gray GP-4y,
Great video as always!
Its surprising the quality of your content
New subscriber greetings from mexico
Underrated
Amazing as always
I love your videos man, keep going!
plz make more i love your videos
More is on the way, I am glad you liked it!
@@ProjectSparkPC cant wait :)
Another good video keep it up
really enjoy ur videos keep up
Cool video!
for my gp4 u i use the polish om 40 gas mask bag. so you can use modern filters
What song is used in the video i know the intro music but not the one used throughout the video?
Grazhdanskaya Oborona (Egor Letov) - Moya Oborona. Enjoy!
@@ProjectSparkPC Thank you
I’m glad to find a channel that talks about gas masks tho what’s your opinion on the American m40 gas mask comrade?
I never had a chance to see or use an M40, so I cannot construct a based opinion on it. From my knowledge, it is the counterpart to Soviet PMK series, and I have a good opinion on those. I would also be surprised if the US had a bad general purpose gasmask.
Hi, do you happen to know anything about the gray filters/bags for the gp4? im unsure about how rare they are
I have never seen a gray bag, but gray filters aren't all that rare, I have one myself. Gray face pieces though are pretty uncommon.
isn't there asbestos all in that filter
There is, but if he use it for a short time it's fine, but personally i wouldn't do it.
What canteen did you use in this video? I've never seen that one used by the soviets
It is a Chinese commercial canteen for outdoor purposes inspired by some PLA canteen designs. They are still in production and you can easily get a brand new one on Chinese marketplaces I think.
Im so glad youtube recommended me this channel, side note what is the name of the jacket you're wearing in the intro?
It is a Soviet made raincoat. Just a tarp cloak with sleeves.
that raincoat at the beginning is a canvas “cloak-tent” [Plash-palatka]
from were did you buy the gp4?
This specific one was actually in my family since the Cold War. But they are available globally on eBay, surplus stores, etc.
It would be amazing if you could revew the ShmS gas mask used by snipers
ShMS is a facepiece, used in gasmasks like the RSh-4 for example. I will review it as soon as I get my hands on it.
What kind of coat is that? It looks nice.
Just a generic Soviet raincoat
that raincoat at the beginning is a canvas “cloak-tent” [Plash-palatka]
Make a video About how to make simple Soviet foods
I didn't think about it, but that's a great idea, thank you for the suggestion!
You need to show that rare gray gp4y more! How did you get one?
They are indeed not that common. This one came from a school fallout shelter.
You should do a video about the Romanian M85 gas mask if you find one!
Sure thing, if I ever come across one
Very nice! Doesn't the gp4u filter contain asbestos?

Don't know about the GP-4 though as there is very little modern information online about it probably best not to breathe too much. Hope this helps!
@@aquilagao ohhh okay, I'm pretty sure the gp-4 filter even without asbestos is dangerous as it might have carbon leaking out.

what jacket is that may i know?
That's a Soviet era raincoat, possibly of naval or fishing origin

Also comrade where did you get that trench coat?
In my babushka's shed. Seriously speaking, it is a generic Soviet raincoat, you should be able find things like that on eBay.
@@ProjectSparkPC I’ll be glad to look for it but for it to get here to America is rather long distance man I miss living in Ireland
@@cryptidgaming269 Your best bet is to look for it from American sellers

Make more videos!!!!!
Is the gp-4u better then the gp-5?
What exactly do you mean by better? For what purposes?
@@ProjectSparkPC more resistant, or does it just do the same job as the gp-5? Or can one withstand more than the other?
@@NyxJinxxx Not really, no. They are both general purpose civil defense gasmasks. If anything, GP-4u is less comfortable to wear because of the connector tube and large filter.

@@Silojedeburek19862 Its on the way, don't worry)
bro most filters from ww1 until 1980 and even 1990's probobly have asbestos.
Mmm asbesto filter

И тебе привет! ПРВхи самые редкие из массовых, но есть еще ряд очень интересных эксперементальных и мелкосерийных изделий по типу маски "Кремний".
@@ProjectSparkPCзнаю такие штуки. Вообще было сделано очень много экспериментальных изделий не основе лицевых частей ПМК-1,2 и МГП
I thought it was green not black...
When exposed to sunlight, the gas mask rubber has a tendency to darken. Grey masks start turning brown.
Oh also my profile pic uses the gp-4u gas mask I first took a real picture then I painted over it for a more hand painted image
