You mean the one that keeps the hop tight up the gearbox?

What gun is this in? Prowin are not worth the money, their QC has gone down the shitter these days. Try the £8 plastic ZCi one from @ak2m4.

I think it's fair to say that while a keto diet can be maintained long term, it has to be very carefully managed and supplemented with extra vitamins. The human body is designed to operate on a wide range of foods and in general requires carbohydrates for energy. Yes, you can convert fat to energy, nobody says you can't but there is a lot of questions raised over the long term health effects of a high fat, high protein diet. Even the Bulletproof people tell you not to eliminate ALL carbs and they're about as pro-keto as you can get. The body is just more efficient at turning carbs into energy though, which is of course why a modern western diet results in a lot of obesity - there's just so much carbohydrate involved, way more than most people with increasingly sedentary lives need. I absolutely agree that reducing carbs can be a good thing but so far the only medical suggestion for a keto diet is either controlling diabetes or dealing with epilepsy. Added to all of which is that carb based foods have a wide range of nutrients that are more easily absorbed into the human body than in other forms. I have no doubt that it works for you and I wish you all the best on it, but a healthy, balanced diet is always going to be better for the general health of the vast majority of people.

It's a Hi-Capa in drag so I see no reason why not! Failing that there's always the Warrior Universal one.

My weight loss was achieved without any specific, deliberate eliminations. The basic concepts are laid out in any DASH diet plan which is the diet plan most often recommended by doctors for weight loss (it's actually designed for control of hypertension by reducing sodium intake but you can take or leave that part depending on your BP). It's about eating a healthy, balanced diet and paying attention to not only portion size but also to the balance of protein, fat and carbs. Despite what plenty of people will tell you, your body needs carbs to work properly, just not as much as most people on a western diet consume. Rapid weight loss is generally not sustainable, if your weight gain is due to inactivity then you need to move more so you don't starve yourself by cutting calories. Ultimately the body is a relatively simple chemical process and weight loss is achieved when calories in < calories out (eat less/move more it's the same end result). Thing is though that if eliminating one part of the equation results in personal weight loss, bear in mind that it may not be good for you long term as it does result in not eating a balanced diet. That balance is key because our bodies need a variety of nutrients that work together - drink lots of milk for calcium, but if you don't get enough vitamin D then you may as well pour it down the drain (simplistic but you get the idea), iron absorption depends on Vitamin C levels etc etc. Be healthier, live longer. Just not too long because that's when the Alzheimers gets you As always - YMMV.

I lost 4.5 stone on a basic calorie deficit with realistic expectations. The main thing was that I cut out snacking and by the time I got down to the last stone or so the calorie deficit basically forced me to make better choices about what I was eating. Before anyone starts cheering, I have put about 3 stone of it back on because I like cake and life's too short. That said I am aiming to drop some of it again but not to where I was as it wasn't sustainable for me.

That's what most people do. Stand by it, looking wistfully at the pile of frayed nylon and split seams wishing they'd bought something better.

Lozart replied to Cr0-Magnon's topic in General Discussion
If it's anything like our place it always goes like this: Bossman "You watch the match last night then?" Me "No, I don't like football" Bossman "But it was an England match!" Me "But I don't like football" Bossman "Yeah, but you have to watch England matches! EVERYONE watches England matches" Me "But I don't like football, you know this. I tell you this EVERY time you ask if I watched the match last night" Bossman "...so did you see that save in the second half?" Me *frenzied rage killing playing out in my head* "No. I don't like football" -
Taiwangun Shipping Disruption (Brexit Related Content)
Lozart replied to Speedbird_666's topic in General Discussion
Never having actually seen it I just googled it to see where abouts it's supposed to be. Apparently while Midsomer is in a fictional county visual clues from the show suggest it's around Berkshire/North Hampshire kind of area so yeah...my neck of the woods. Not that I remember hearing of anyone being murdered with a wheel of cheese! 🤣 -
Are you talking about the hammer spring base in a real P226 or the airsoft one? Do you have pictures? Also, minor thing but there is no "E1" grip. E2 is actually E2 i.e. "Ergonomics Squared" so it would be E2 or R (for the railed frame model) or just "standard".

I believe it was a dog walker or some such that wasn't entirely aware of what was going on. Entirely valid response from the Police though (more than 6 and travelling from Southampton). -

It was private land, the fine was issued for breaching the Rule of Six, no other action was taken. -
and our resident Red Shirt at the front! 🤣

Tech Advice Needed - Overspin and Inconsistent, Low FPS

I never said that you did. I was referring to the "general consensus" of the great airsoft unwashed that believes every word they see on social media. -

Yes....and also, no. The One Series never stopped being good but the original Edge and Core series guns with the Orion gearbox were gash. People bitched about them but unlike most other manufacturers they listened and sorted their shit out. The Orion box still has some issues but they're nowhere near as bad as they once were. Of course in airsoft (even more so than normal life it seems), shit sticks so "all Specnas are shit". -

My One is 5 years old now and it's still running the original compression parts. -

Let's not tar them all with the same brush, it's the ones with the Orion gearbox that sucked donkey balls.
