Touche’ I will be OP.
Sir, let’s be realistic, we are God in the game.
That thing will not make the slightest impact anymore.
yea I know all about that…I was in the military & part of the defense department after that as well…so am pretty versus on what a gas mask can & cannot do…as well as the difference between chemical agents or vesicant …cause I was kinda curious on why you can burn off the gas in rooms, or the fact that the broken tank seems to have an endless supply of gas in it…

The world may never know 
I grew up in the 1980s and trust me there were brighter flashlights they took loads of batteries but we had them, I even had those little ones from the game, they cost 50p great for reading comics in bed after lights out.
The flashlight in the game was the standard one used by the swedish army at that time. You could attach it to your clothes in orde to free up your hands. I think it works just fine for the game. It has low light output but I think that add a feeling of old times.
Regarding your message of Gas masks and Flashlight posted 22d ago, your line about having low light ouput adds a feeling of OLD TIMES ! Sir i grew in the 1980s, I am in my late 40s , I hardly think the 1980s be classed as ancient history. Thanks for your time waylander11
And they do that with all right:
Gas in reality are either attacking your respitory systems (lungs, and mucos membrane (slemhinnor)), the eyes, or it damages even on skin contact.
Partial gasmasks (only covering the mouth and nose) should give full coverage for gasses that only attacks the respiratory system.
Full gasmasks should give coverage for gas attacking the respiratory system or the eyes.
Gases that attacks the skin should get reduction depending on both the gasmask and the clothing. A person that has less exposed skin, and tight clothing should take less damage.
If you encounter nerve gas in real life though only one drop of gas making skin contact with you will kill you.
Gases in reallife can have one two or all three attacks in them, like teargas will blind you, make you cough, and it will even burn your skin. However, a fullcover gasmask should eliminate the two first, and only deal skinburn damage, and only so much as how much skin is actually exposed.
At least if the model used were more realistic.
Gasses in game, damaging ones, are the type that also damages player if it comes in contact of the bare skin. Hence why gas mask in-game only reduces the damage intake and not completely negating it.
As far as clothing goes, devs haven’t made that complex of a system where different apparel items increase/reduce gas skin damage.
I also grew up in the 80s. And it’s old times by todays standards when it comes to much of the technology we use. No kids today know how long it could take to load a video game on your Commandor C64 with a tape deck. And I’m sure you wouldn’t use one today for playing because it’s ancient. The same with flashlights. A budget LED today of the same size would have a much better light output than the one in the game. So in my opinion the 80’s is old times. But that doesn’t make us old.

Gamers of today don’t know the pain of loading a cassette at 8.30 before school so it’s loaded ready for when you get home…and it’s a mess of cassette reel stuck together instead.
Happy memories

Yeah. Its to bad sweden never had combat gas of that kind… or at least officially they never did. I wonder how FNIX manufactures it?
Thanks to IGA. At least it’s from IGA where FNIX got the data to make better versions of IASG-90 (yellow gas), by making green gas (used by hunters, harvs, tanks) and purple gas (used by apo harv).
Well a real chemist would say the m/51 filter would filter that gas without a problem.
Also I’ve never seen any machine activity more than patrolling units at IGA, ever. Its even a bad spot to go for machine farming.
During “The Gas Factory” mission, there are more machines at the IGA, including two tanks. Once you clear them out/ complete the mission, the IGA is abandoned by machines.
And hence, no more gas production I assume? So the question still remains…
How? Well, same way you produce other gases.
Where? Not in IGA anymore, apparently. My best guess, FNIX has another, underground facility for that.
Sure, problem is, you also need ingredients. you know, the stuff you actually make the gas from. And sweden (or anyone else) would be nuts to still ship stuff to these islands.
Hence, FNIX should not be able to produce hardly any gas even if it had an entire factory at its disposal.
So the questions still remains… whos is fueling FNIX?
There are a plethora of loose ends if you’re going to dig into the GZ lore. Also, not all can be explained or the very least, isn’t worthwhile. E.g where FNIX gets the metal to manufacture it’s machines? Where FNIX gets the ammunition for it’s machines? Fuel for it’s machines? Etc etc.
As far as gas goes; either someone supplies the base contents to him or he has found natural source, where to mine it.
