  3. Dave, I'm a big fan of yours on the MWS thread but Rogerborg knows what he's talking about. There's NO requirement to consume carbs EVER. Plenty of resources for you to check out: from an athletic point of view, start with the 2015 FASTER (Fat Adapted Substrate use in Trained Elite Runners) Study by Phinney & Volek; for purely dietary info, look up Dr Paul Saladino or Dr Shawn Baker (not that I'm personally a proponent of the carnivore diet) or just read about Vilhjalmur Stefansson who got stuck with the Innuit in the 1920s. Keto does work & plenty of people do it for years with no ill effects. Not my thing but it shows carbs are not essential. Calories in calories out also doesn't work, sorry, at least not in any meaningful way. If you asked a financial advisor how to get rich & he told you to earn more money than you spent, you wouldn't be impressed. A calorie is merely the measurement of energy required to heat 1 gram of water by 1 degree celsius & has nothing to do with how food is converted to energy in the human digestive system. If you consume 1000 calories as lemonade, for example, that's all going straight into your bloodstream. If you could even manage to eat 1000 calories of steak, at least a quarter of that energy is used just to fuel the digestive process itself, so you can only use the 750 calories left. Plus everybody's digestive tract has a different amount & composition of gut bacteria to everybody else so 2 people eating the same food, day in day out, will not get the same results. Even if you did decide to restrict calories, sure, your body would burn body fat initially & you'd lose some weight. But eventually your body would decide the low-calorie environment was not a temporary situation & would cling on to your remaining fat reserves for dear life, literally. Your body just down regulates its immune & reproductive systems & makes you want to exercise less while the number on the scale doesn't change. Potatoes are fine, but they're not as nutritious as animal food sources. Bread is NOT great & giving up wheat would benefit pretty much everybody. I don't recommend brown rice as its high in phytic acid & even arsenic, but white is ok in moderation. PopRocket123, We all need to eat more in line with how homo sapiens have been eating for the majority of our 300,000 years. Eat healthy animal sources of fat & protein year round, fruit & veg when (& ONLY WHEN) they are in season if you want. Fruit is sweet because the tree wants us to consume it & spread its seeds, but it will make you fat (actually a desirable trait as a hunter-gatherer facing a long cold winter). As for vegetables, only 4% of all the known plants in the world are edible & ALL are toxic to some degree. When people bang on about kale or broccoli being high in antioxidants, what they really mean is the veg is mildly toxic which causes our bodies to produce more antioxidants in case we decide to eat any more of it in the future. I see you've had a kid recently, bet you couldn't get anything green down them when they were young. That's our natural instinct to stop us poisoning ourselves out of existence! If your goal is to lose weight, then you need to focus on NUTRITION, not calories. Eat when you are hungry - DO NOT wait for a random number of hours! Hit your protein / vitamin / mineral targets early in the day & you'll not want to eat as much later. Ever had a 2,500 kcal McD's for lunch & been starving at dinner? Because your body didn't get much nutrition out of it & is forcing you to try again. Weight gain / loss is about hormones, not calories, and insulin is the king of those hormones. Eating low carb means you will not produce insulin, meaning energy cannot be absorbed by your fat cells. Protein goes where it is needed, fat just floats around the bloodstream til we use it, and our fat reserves can make up any energy deficit which we actually breath out. In fact, just working on your breathing technique can help you lose weight, I promise! PS the DASH diet is a piece of shite. Rant over!

    THE TM MWS thread

    My secondhand MWS had a very hard life and there was a load of gritty mud in the trigger box that had caused a lot of wear and nasty feel. I have replaced all the parts in the trigger box with the WiiTech parts and spring set. They are really high quality and nice finish, well worth the money. I tried the marksman sear but got light strikes with the safety ON followed by another light strike after I took it off and pulled the trigger again! I tried it with both the TM and WiiTech parts - same result. GET THE REGULAR SEAR! For lubrication get a small aerosol can of Graphite lock lube (less than £10 on Amazon or Ebay) and use that. Apply to the parts as you assemble the trigger box then wipe the gun down after…and don’t wear a white t-shirt! It is messy to apply and you will need to wash your hands about 8 times but it is very low friction and won’t attract dirt and gum up the action. I have had zero issues with trigger reset or bolt locking back since using it.

    Is the gun cycling? Is it completely dead? If cycling Are you using mid caps or high caps. If using high caps have you winded them fully? Are you using good quality BBs? If it's dead have you definitely fully charged the battery? The least invasive thing you can do is check the fuse it's in the black tube connected to the battery wire in the back of the gun. If it's dead and battery and fuse are fine, do nothing send it back to the seller.

    More info please, is battery charged ?, If so is it doing absolutely anything when you pull the trigger ?, Also if it's brand new shouldn't you be having this conversation with the retailer that sold it to you ?, better that than you start messing around with it & risk invalidating any warranty. PS I'm not clicking the link above, & don't recommend anybody else does in case it's just virus infested bait lol.🤔

  14. I used to Marshal, decided to sack it off. Spend enough of my time during a working week dealing with idiots and spent even more time doing it every other Sunday. Sucked the fun right out of playing and since Covid I think I've played twice in a year and a half. Do I miss it... to an extent yes, do I miss working as a marshal...absolutely not.

    What have you made?

    Ran 400 or so 0.28’s through it this morning. Dialled in the regulator but then found it’s creeping a bit when I go up to 0.43’s so ended up having to set the regulator again… I’m very happy that it feeds the 0.43’s fine and I’m getting a consistent 299-305fps @95ish psi. Only slight issue is it looks a little daft but with 2500rd capacity, zero feeding issues and a consistent output I can live with that! Im going to tidy up the JB Weld once it’s completely cured and then probably go over it with some black paint.

  17. @Rogerborg I've felt absolutely amazing on a low carb diet. I've tried full on Keto, sub 20g and it's super hard, but the sweet spot for me is low carb, around 50g a day. My 25 year battle with irritable bowl pretty much gone and my energy and concentration greatly improved. Not for everyone of course.

  18. Well, I'm taking them out of an abundance of caution, but the only thing I've really cut out is sugars, rice, wheat, sugary fruits, and the carbiest of root vegetables (but I'm eating moderate amounts of carrot, onion, radishes and so on). Low carb does not have to mean butter and bacon. I'm now eating more green vegetables: cabbage, kale, broccoli, cauliflower, courgettes, celery, tomatoes, olives and green beans. What am I missing out on? Evolved, not designed. We may be having a labelling squabble here. If I said "Cooked Palaeolithic plus some non-lactose dairy" rather than keto, how are we looking? Why requires? I have more sustainable endurance now than I did 3 months ago. But what are the answers? In my case it's a moderate fat, moderate protein, low carb diet. I've reduced my food intake, it's just that I've lowered carbs much more than fat or protein, both of which provide essentials acids. I think I've said several times that I wouldn't necessarily suggest high fat, minimal carbs as a maintenance diet, but dropping carbs has certainly working for losing body fat, particularly visceral fat, and I hope we can agree on the health benefits of that. It's practically impossible to do so, and nowhere in here am I advocating it. I'm happy to call it very low carb, Paleolithic, or whatever doesn't imply 90%/6%/4% full keto. Fruits, maybe, but those are seasonal. Potatoes, possibly, but we didn't evolve to eat those, nor wheat, nor rice. And see the veg list above, plus a multivitamin a day. What am I missing out on? I'm still unclear on what's unhealthy about a diet based around loads of fresh veg, nuts, some dairy, fish and chicken. I've looked, but all I can find is woo-science handwaving, and unsourced assertions. I'm happy to follow the science, but I have to actually see it.

  19. I agree, it's the prerogative of the site you attend at, they set the rules not the customer. It's very easy with a good gun on semi and a drum mag to lay down a biblical hail of BB's to the point where no one could ever push past them without a dangerous over-arm thrown grenade / thunderflash or just pure luck. To be honest it can be fun to be "that person", however it makes the game for others pretty shitty.

  20. Plenty of fabric holsters will fit. If you are looking for a retention holster you really don't want cheap out especially if you play wood lands seen too many people come back to the safe zone with holster attachment and no gun. My personal recommendation is the Swiss arms adaptx holster it's retention, adjustable to most pistols, can be swapped left or right and can be had for £30.00 but you'll need to buy a mount.

    Excuse the workshop carpet, I think the pew itself makes up for the mess! KJ KC02 with Rogueworx internals, Boyds stock and RA-Rech fluted outer barrel. HPA-Tapped, super consistent and my new DMR build. With the RW VSR hop conversion, ML Autobot and 400mm barrel it’s pretty spicy!

  26. Yeah, the fun is slowly starting to dilute away for me, quite simply as the attitude is……. ”you can’t play next week as you are marshalling next weekend” A lack of possible candidates to train up to marshal to replace to core team means we have no prospect of playing. A bit pish and I have 2 new guns to field 😈
