My grandfather said that he thought the m17 was very comfortable and liked it more than the m9 because he was left handed and got issued a right handed shooter’s mask

I was a Chemical warfare specialist and the m17a2 is rated for NBC agents. I went through toxic live agent training in that mask.

Well, every gas mask with particulate filter and vapor filter is NBC

Changing cheek filters is my guilty pleasure

if the cheek filter caps can be unscrew maybe we can use hoses on the cheek filter gas masks?

I've done a video of that

This video encouraged me to buy a pde-1 just to modify it extremely. It's got a 5 point skull cap, 3d printed 40mm adapters that i attached hoses too, though i would like to get my hands on some m10m rebreather tubes instead. I also bought a opch 90 chemical suit, but it has yet to arrive.

Nobody: Czechoslovakians: casually go under water.

One thing I heard from someone who was a US army paratrooper in the 80s, was that the side mounted filter could get tangled up in equipment (parachute cords?). This is an older memory, so I'm not sure about the accuracy of it, but it does seem logical that interior check filter masks would lack that problem. The same would apply to riot control situations. The M50 seems like the best of both designs.

Yeah it's why the M50 style masks will probably become popular, one of the things lots of service men praised the M17 and PBF for was as you said, not catching on anything and being ambidextrous

Have you tried out any of the 3d printed adapters that allow the mask to accept 40mm filters?

Good if your considering buying a cheek filter.

Good video. I would say that the changing of the filters in the field wouldn't be a top priority. The twin filters must be good enough for the combatant to escape the toxic situation they are in. Sod the spare filter. I think the filters would provide enough time to do the job. Like you I have the Czech and polish masks and find them pretty good on the whole. Thanks for sharing.

The Polish clones are the best IMO, keeps most of the good design choices of the M17.

Question, are there any replica GP-5 mask filters anywhere that doesn't have anything in them?

I made a couple of fake GP-5 filters by taking them apart and glueing or taping the bottom back on. It’s still the steel or metal filter but is empty and doesn’t have asbestos.

That M50 looks like a toy compared to the M17 gas mask. Put then side by side again and look at them. Durability. I bet the M17 outlives any of those mask. Its good old fashioned American enginuity. Its quality. And I agree. The Polish MP4 is nice. You can interchange M17 filters on to MP4. Only wish they made the MP4 in black color. Ill take the M17 gas mask any day. Its proven. MP4 good too and very affordable
