Gas masks that the Combine Use

[Flyingdebris]

I have recently come to the attention that the gas masks the combine use are actually based on a real life mask. Well I just went looking for a pic of one to see if it was true...

It seems to be a bulgarian design designated the PMG. The only difference between these and the HL2 ones is that the hl2 ones lack a big ass filter on the left side and are a little more elongated. Other than that they seem identical

sweet beans

i want me one of those

 

[nw909]

Yeah the filter is missing, maybe its attached somewhere else.

 

[brettt]

Where can I buy one of those!?! I have been looking for something like that for weeks!

 

[Flyingdebris]

my guess is gas mask selling websites

 

[EVIL]

lol.. that would look sweet on my wall, painting some combine alien language symbols on it

 

[Mr.Magnetichead]

I smell half life cosplay!

 

[Flyingdebris]

you are damn right, once i get one of those gas mask things i am gonna find a way to make the costume or at least put together something similar. And if i got time, I am putting glowing things in the eye pieces

 

[cyborgguineapig]

I can do the eye thing no problem, wouldnt even have to carry a battery pack it could be built into the mask.

Where you find the picture?
Its in the Serbia..

 

[Flyingdebris]

i don't know, the picture just sorta came up as i spent a ood long while searching throu gas mask pics

 

[Tork]

They should design a combine suit , it would go perfect with that gas mask. nice find

 

[Adam]

I think this one more closely matches.

 

[Flyingdebris]

i don't know, i saw that one too, but i think the other one looks a lot more like it, especially if you don't attach the filter

 

[Chris D]

Right... so some of you are seriously going to buy gas masks because they look slightly like the ones in HL2?

hey, any excuse is good enough for getting a gasmask

I'd love to have one on my wall, it'd go nice with all my band-posters.

 

[EVIL]

I already have one but it has been used (glass eye thingies are all filthy - cant even scrub it off with therpentine and other stuff). so I am looking for a new one, maby i should check out some military stores thingies

[Chris D]

brettt will be the first cause for concern over HL2 causing violence - please for the love of all that's good, please, don't be carrying an MP7 while you do it mate!

 

[The hotdog man]

i'll somehow dress up as gorden and i'll battle you brett

 

[brettt]

They would be sweet! Valve should set like a mock HEV suit and stuff and like a headcrab holloween suit for like babies and stuff!

Wouldn't it be a M29?

Woo, you could scare some people with that mother.

 

[Chris D]

If a civillian could get hold of an M29 replica or otherwise, I'd be very very worried. Still in prototype atm last I knew.

That is a scary gun.

I think theres an airsoft version being made. Wonder how many $1000 it will cost. They already made the pulse rifle from aliens, even has a working ammo counter. Really sweet stuff.

Ha, I could imagine that....dressing a kid up in some HL costume for halloween... people asking what you're supposed to be.."i'm a headcrab, i attach to people's heads and turn them into zombies"
or you could just dress up in a suit and tie and be the gman.....=\

 

[Flynn]

i wonder how many people would recognize me if i went to school dressed up as gordon freeman. I also wonder how many times id have the crud kicked out of me

 

[Cr@zY T3rr0r!$t]

You wont get beatup, as long as you take a crowbar with you. (To complete the outfit, and to defend youself)

 

[Flynn]

lol, maybe even the muniplulator

 

[nw909]

I saw some toy in a store that had a G.I. Joe type figure with a gas mask like that on, except it was green.
