After years of feeding it with gas and bbs, my mp5k finally grown up lol

So I'm working on a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Monolith kit, and I'm at a bit of an impasse for face gear. I insist on wearing some kind of face/mouth protection, and want to do something thematic if possible. I wear glasses, so full-fledge gas masks are completely out of the question for that reason on top of the existing litany of other reasons.

As a compromise, I've been considering the idea of using a respirator instead, probably like the one pictured. I'd probably gut the filters and cut & fit some mesh over the openings, just to retain the form and structure without hindering my breathing so much, and I wouldn't be against punching discreet holes in the seals (such as in the underside, and/or behind the filters) either. The main concerns I have are mass, shape, and structural integrity of a mask like this.

Does anyone have any experience with using one of these as face protection? How well can a respirator withstand an impact at typical UK joule limits (1.14J for automatics, up to 2.5J for snipers)?

TIA!

Maybe a new sling?

Hi, I retired around 2019 when covid kicked in and my gear (which was bought when my financial possibilities were much lower) was lying in closet all this time. I recently came back and already was on 2 games after which I decided to give the hobby another try and revitalize my gear to current standards. I would like to hear your suggestions what to do with these:

1. CM.069 bought on TaiwanGun in 2017 which is my first replica. Used it for a while, but not very much. I didn't like it after all but never got down to sell it. I should probably do it now.

2. Evolution Airsoft Recon UX 8" Silent Ops [EC11AR] which is my current replica. Bought it in 2018 because of its small size. It got serviced recently - new hopup bucking, cylinder air sealed, installed PERUN mosfet, overall cleaning. Works pretty well, although it's only something around 0,87J on 0,25g. I think it can be an ok gun for CQB games.

3. Recently got my hands on Specna Arms Core SA-C20-ETU (Sadly it's only Single Fire Version) which I won in lottery and haven't used yet. I've read some threads and replicas got much better overall throughout those years. This one has magnetic trigger, It's own ETU with HAL system. Didn't know they even existed until recently. Because it's only single fire, I thought it could serve as a good base to be DMR, but I would like to hear your opinion on this.

Vfc Glock18c with Streamlight Tlr-1HL and Acro P2

Internally completely upgraded to steel

It appears like it is, but I’d love to not be disappointed when I try to mount a tracer.

thanks a lot!

There’s not a lot of inspiration pictures for lmg plate carrier setups. So here is how I’ve set mine up. The gun I’m using is a Vfc m249 hpa tapped the box mag on my right is an away box mag that has been converted so I can use it. Hpa tank does in the back. And normal stick mags I carry in my pockets.
