Item ideas!

The Russian gas mask you listed is extremely ineffective and will protect you against virtually nothing. Some of the filters on old gas masks are known to contain asbestos, which is extremely toxic

 

As for the British mask, I don't know how that would fit in a place like Chernarus

Oh, yeah. I looked at some info on the Z-41, seems like it's old filters contained a percentage of asbestos. There's still the newer gas mask that's used by the russian military, which i believe is the PMK Gas Mask, the most recent one. Here's a picture of it:

 As for the British gas mask, i believe there was NATO intervention when the outbreak happened in Chernarus. I don't see why other nations wouldn't deploy some troops there.

I doubt it would fit any less that the UK Assault Vest. As for the Russian gas mask, I assume we will eventually be able to make weapons that will give gas masks an effective use and just having the Russian ones do a shit job of protecting you would probably solve that issue.

Modern masks would definitely work

 

Those old Soviet masks are only found in army surplus stores, they are not used by any military or police forces anymore

 

 

I'd also like to add that the gas mask currently found in game is, like the old Soviet masks, old and ineffective

I'd love to see some pre-made face camouflage and helmet camouflage

If they build in a form of heavy armor that makes you slower but nearly immune against Zeds and ab it against bullets like these guys http://www.incgamers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Metro-Last-Light-05.jpg i will never play another game.

Arma 2 has a system that allows users to use their won custom skins. DayZ could use a similar system where players can use their own custom skin and apply it using a camo paint thing (not sure if they have a special name)

Good for nighttime gameplay, could maybe be used as bait, but not so useful at daytime.

 

Giving a player painful but nonlethal burns would be a plus. A shot from a flaregun could cause minimal blood loss but the pain from the burn could make him wail in agony for many hours without regular doses of morhine. Fellow PvPers or zombie hordes could do the rest. He'll think twice about bullying others and he'll not be sneaking up on anyone for a while.

It think a Driver's License would be a good Item to allow people to figure out the names of dead bodies they come across whether they killed the person or just found them dead. It would be a realistic item since a Driver's License is one of the most common, name printed items carried by a person.

 

Here's the link to the driver's license thread if you want more information: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/156854-dayz-item-drivers-license/

 

Also, a "cool" looking gas mask would be nice like one of these. http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/gas-mask-19399889.jpg

And some of the hoodies/jackets could be modeled with their hoods up so we can do this:  http://webtaj.com/images/gas-mask-art-the-best-pictures-interesting_422961.jpg

 

If people want something more practical, a fire man's gas mask and hat could spawn in the fire stations: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b2/US_Navy_080730-N-5277R-003_A_Commander,_Naval_Forces_Japan_firefighter_douses_a_fire_on_a_dummy_aircraft_during_the_annual_off-station_mishap_drill_at_Naval_Support_Facility_Kamiseya.jpg

 

Then with the different spray paint that is going to be added we could paint them any color we want, to be more tactical or bright.

 

Also, a gameplay idea that would complement the gas mask would be to have different zones with radiation or viruses so that players could only safely access certain places on the map with a gas mask; if they went to the radiation or virus zones with no gas mask they would get sick or if they stayed too long there they would die from radiation or the virus. And the players that had gas masks would need filters for the gas mask and the filters could have a use limit, having to be changed every so often as real filters need to be changed; this could add depth and a purpose to the gas mask and keep people from camping in the radiation/virus zones because they would be using their fairly rare filters.

 

Also, if a player stayed a long period "camping" with a gas mask in the radiation or virus zone they would die of prolonged exposure; the zone would eventually kill them to keep them from camping. They would just be able to stay in the area longer than someone that has no gas mask because they have a gas mask but prolonged exposure will kill anyone forcing them to leave after a while if they want to stay alive.

To do what? Finding spare parts to repair it which are as rare as the gun and never get to shoot it?

Will keep updating this with more ideas i get with the time.  :)
