Russian PMK 3 Gas Mask Review

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Review of the fairly modern (last 10 years) Russian Federation PMK-3 respirator, successor to the PMK-1 and PMK-2, overall it's better than the PMK-1 but still has some strange design choices.
Not great, not terrible, if you can get one cheaply it's pretty cool.

    If you coat the straps and head harness in silicone spray for rubber, then they become 1000 times easier to adjust and much quicker to put on your head, also preserves the straps and the rubber.

    The little plastic bit on the filter is to direct air inside the mask. This is kind of a stand-in for a Tissot system, as it directs air to flow between the inner rubber flap and the lenses. Has to be done the right way though. Assuming you're setting the mask up for a right handed person: 1) Plug in the filter (or the 40mm adapter) on the left side with one of the four square tabs pointing towards the left lens. 2) Attach the plastic air redirection bit so it points towards top and left (10-11 o'clock position), if you view the mask from the inside. For a left handed person, the process is mirrored.

    I could be wrong, but I'd assume one of the benefits of the new filter type, is that you don't have to fiddle with a screw? I found it to be uncomfortably easy to think you're screwing a filter in, then let go, and you haven't done squat. So probably was an attempt to eliminate that type of problems in situations where you really need a filter in what might become a very stressed situation?

    i have the same problems with my pmk-2, but its not the rubber on my face that gets me its the fogging on the lenses, that gets really bad really quickly. the good thing about the pmk-3 filters is that it works on my pmk-2 with no issues its just very fiddly to get on. good for a get out situation but once the filters clogged your stuffed. unless you use the gp-7 or some other filter with the same thread. you can get thread attachments, i have one and it works on my older 40mm gp-5 filters.

    So these take a special filter? And is there a adaptor to covert Gost thread to a Nato thread? Also will there be a adaptor to covert it to take 40mm Nato thread? Was thinking of getting this Gas Mask for my collection was just curious if you can get adaptors instead of buying special filters for it.

    Try using the manual and tape measurements to adjust the mask properly to your size. The mask is meant to set up once and then used in that configuration. The thick seal is there to assure proper seal even if the mask is not placed on properly.

  • @ikalugin

    @ikalugin

    As such the mask is built and set up (ie with the filter installed) once in the service. This filter attachment system was introduced on earlier PMK-2 I believe. The idea behind the filter cap is to secure it inside and protect the filter from stuff to get into it from the inside. The idea behind the lack of the screw on function is to place the filter closer to the mask for less wobble because you are not meant to change filters in contaminated environment anyway. It would also appear that you have set up the plug on the other side wrongly.

    There's a PMK bayonet to GOST adaptor missing in your package. My PMK-2 have one of this. I think the mask works in different "mode" . With both adaptor it offer a quick changing of bayonet filter(But the filter will be sticking very far). Remove the bayonet adaptor is the GOST mode. These two mode are for the bad situation that you don't know how long you should wear it. Or even don't know what type of filter are in supply. Then the "Cheek Filter" mode provide the best slim profile and center of mass in the cost of filter changing. For a scheduled operation.

    Yes. The Soviets and Russians often evolve thier designs tweeking them a little at a time rather just restart a whole new design. China does the same especially with thier aircraft. They stick with what works and slowly add subtle improvements. Fewer things to go wrong I guess if most parts are already proven. I have one of these, I clearly am baffled by the socket design for the filter. Why not just stick with the 40 mm that you do not have to take off to change. I bought the adaptors to do so for mine, it just makes more sense. Other than that puzzling choice in design, it's not a bad mask as far as I am concerned. I like mine.
