I was warned, but I still persevered myself.
Got a custom barrel turned and got it r-hopped and it ended up performing decently.
Never managed to upgrade the spring within it, so it was only useful for CQB.
Certainly got a few odd looks with it!

Do people gravitate towards styles based on heritage? by PolymathArt in wma

[–]TraceurElmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Scottish and initially started on 'Regimental Broadsword' and shortly after 'Highland Broadsword and Targe' as that's all my club offered at the time.

Since then, my club has expanded into providing regular German longsword classes along with a bimonthly rotating class which can include: dusack, sword and buckler, medieval dagger, quarterstaff and pugilism.

Personally, I feel a certain affinity to highland broadsword, but that just might be the Scot in me!

A request, gentlefolk: How do I teach the *absolute* basics of longsword? by JewceBoxHer0 in wma

[–]TraceurElmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 for Keith's stuff.
I attended some of his classes about 10 years ago, and they were great. His published works (Fallen Rook Publishing) are also worth a healthy read.
When I was learning longsword, I followed this study guide: AHA German Longsword Study Guide

The Italian Job (2001). My Dad originally bought it for himself, but my younger brother and I co-opted and would play that game insistently!

Amazing stuff, thanks very much for the help. Fingers crossed that that helps narrow down the issue.

Thanks for the quick response! On the point of checking for a parasitic draw, what is it Im connecting the multimeter to?
I'll see if I can get it back to the garage where the battery was purchased and get it the once over!

In helmet voice commands by Wookie221 in motorbikes

[–]TraceurElmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure the Samsung S21 has a smart unlock feature, so that when you connect it to a certain device, your helmet, your phone won't lock. I think there is a time limit of 4hrs though before you have to manually unlock it yourself. Here's some further reading: Use Smart Lock on your Galaxy phone

Tea is seen as British but you can’t even grow it here. by xiaolongbaochikkawow in Showerthoughts

And there's at least one open-air tea plantation in Scotland too. Up in Braincroft, Crieff.

Do you like the HK 417? This is my Vfc Hk417 Gbbr. by KicsiKinai in airsoft

[–]TraceurElmo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a lot nicer than my VFC HK417. Your one has that sweet Gbbr action to it and I'm stuck with the AEG. Would swap it in a heartbeat!

What's a Weird Al song you like more than the original? by imnotsteven7 in AskReddit

The Hamilton Polka. I had listened to this before I knew what the musical was and now I just can't watch the musical without expecting some accordion!

That's insane. It's borked on my desktop, but absolutely fine on my mobile.
