I received my Shockblast figure over the weekend, and while I could probably have been happy with him out of the package if he was released a year back, at this point after doing a few customs I saw potential for a few modifications.
First he need one of those two sorely missed accessories, his backpack with knife. I painted up a spare Falcon pack, added some grenades to it, and lopped off that antenna. In lieu of not throwing together an Uzi for him I assembled a Marauder M4 with matching paint app and attached the Paraviper MP5 to a hanging strap for close quarters battle. Smaller tweaks to the figure itself were painting the grenades on his vest green. I gave him a more fitting belt to hold his pants up. I also threw in some new gloves. Lastly I couldn't stand that oversized holster on his left leg and after seeing it was removable a la SE knife sheath it was easily replaceable with the pouch from Torch's left leg. Also posted are pics of my Bazooka Trooper, or what to do with Cobra Flint and the awesome gear from the off colored Trooper. And, just another shot for my Cobra Merc which was a great use of that nasty FF.

Did he come with a gas mask? If it did does it fit right?

Yeah, he comes with the gas mask. It fits okay, but not great. I tossed it over to another figure to have as an accessory. Really, his head is pretty limited in movement and the collar got int eh way of the gas mask. I scraped away some plastic under his chin for a better range of movement.
