I actually lost a bunch of weight when my partner was pregnant (no not because she ate all my food!) She was diagnosed with gestational diabetes so she had to make some changes to keep her and the baby healthy and of course I made the same changes to support her. We got a diabetic's cook book and followed a lot of the advice in there. Cutting down on sugar, smaller portion sizes, finding healthy snacks to have instead of chocolate or cake switching to wholemeal flour products like bread and pasta and brown rice. All really simple and doable changes that resulted in me losing a stone in about 6 months even though I wasn't doing nearly enough exercise at the time.

I wasn't bashing keto diets specifically, I just meant that I didn't want people advising done of the more extreme diets or athlete's diets to people who wouldn't necessarily benefit from them and keto is one that gets brought up a lot. I'm massively cutting down my sugar and carb intake myself.

That looks like just the sort of thing I need to be doing. Going to have to try it

I mean it tells me what I needed to know. It's pretty consistently accurate judging from the times I could see the BBs flight path and looks like a smooth and easy to operate bolt at UK limits. Seems to be pretty quiet too but obviously that's hard to tell accurately from the video, especially with his weird asmr voiceover. I don't have the funds to sink into a vsr or striker money pit build so this seems perfect for me.

Waiting for hands on reviews before I get one myself, gives me the chance to save up for it lol.

This is so overpriced that I can get a return train ticket to the nearest airsoft shop and buy everything included here and I still would have spent less than this.

I'd like to get to the point of doing marathons. For now I'm only built for more sedate speeds so I've been going on a lot of hikes. Keeps the moths out of some of my airsoft kit until I can get back to a game too.

After seeing a discussion on another thread I had the idea for a thread dedicated to those of us who want to lose weight, get physically fitter or just generally live healthier. Whether you're getting fit for airsoft, using airsoft as a way to improve your health or you're already fit and want to help and encourage others, you're all welcome to give advice or ask questions. I will say though, try to avoid promoting things like keto diets and intensive CrossFit type things just because they aren't for everyone and aren't always healthy as an entry level or more casual non-athlete.

That guy sounds like a Darwin award waiting to happen

It's not a spas 12 but I'll take it

I guess this is more a case of a gun that you know is bad but you love it anyway. It does feel good having a teammate call you over and ask you to lay down suppressing fire on a position.

I mean ok own one so can't really say I hate it but machine guns, lmgs and saws. You're paying twice the price to carry twice the weight and you're getting something that performs maybe as well as a stock G&G with a drum mag. Add onto this the known numerous issues with the gearboxes, box mags and hop up units and you start to wonder why you bothered.

Has anyone experimented with using using a longer inner barrel and npas to keep the FPS down. My hypothesis is that it should give better consistency and gas efficiency. I imagine these benefits would be marginal at best but the real improvements should be reduced wear on the hop rubber meaning you can use a softer rubber for longer

That price is hilarious when it looks and reportedly performs worse than the AAP-01, with less aftermarket support and modularity.

Interesting. I'll talk to my dad about it as he's the one who has the printers

Pla is more brittle. ABS works really well because it flexes so can take hits better, it's easy to sand and paint and you can make very strong larger components by gluing parts together with plastic cement instead of a normal glue which leaves a fracture point.

Reminds me of a video Airsoft Cam Man did a while back. There was a fuckabout game at the end of the day. Basically you didn't have to call your hit until you couldn't bear the pain anymore.

ABS is the way to go for airsoft. You can also use a bunch of those foam floor tiles from Halfords to make an enclosure. It helps regulate the temperature of the print which is important for printing abs

Those are some pretty clean looking prints. It's that with the printer completely stock? What's it printed in?

What about a contained unit, kind of like the type of thing gunsmiths use to check a gun is functioning without taking it to a range. It's a box with a small hole with rubber shields blocking it. You stick the muzzle of the gun through the rubber, fire of a couple of shots and the box and rubber catch any ricochets.

It's a VFC. Those things aren't worth the RRP even when they're new

I want to get a p90 at some point but literally just so I can put the internals in a new 3d printed sci fi body

I agree with your there. The Evo looks totally uninspired like a placeholder gun in a game before they hired a graphic designer. Admittedly I do kind of like it like this but then I realised it's rather just have an mpx

What I'd give for an affordable Kobra replica

Funnily enough I'm the opposite. I think the side mounted rails look terrible. If you're going to use the side rail it needs to be for a side rail mounted optic, otherwise use a railed gas tube
