BT has released a new marker - the TM-15 (http://www.btpaintball.com/paintball-markers/tm-15/). It has (mostly) the same internals as the TM-7, but has a more rigid metal shell.

That foregrip actually has several internal chambers, and with the porting on the barrel, acts as a silencer. Put a little foam or Brillo pads in those chambers, and it might be nearly as quiet as a cocker. :D

The battery is in the magazine, and standard AR magazines fit. That means you could mod a nice expensive Magpul mag for a battery and use it if you like. Or one of those huge AR drum mags... :eek:

Disassembly is much easier than on the TM-7 - you can pull the bolt out the back of the gun without fully disassembling the gun. The mode switch is also improved over the TM-7 from what I've read.

The only internal differences between the TM-7 and TM-15 are the slightly longer tube between the reg and receiver, and the taller (and even weirder) trigger. Boards, detents, bolt, o-rings, etc. are all the same.

The gun comes with a Rip Clip adapter, and apparently the TM series Rip Clip is just around the corner. :rolleyes: No really! I think they mean it this time!

Seems pretty cool...
I have never used a BT product... So I really don't know where my opinion lies

They're basically Invert Minis in a milsim shell. With a good loader, I'd be surprised if it couldn't exceed 20 bps.

All the TM-15s are coming with the 2.00 version of the TM-7/TM-15 board, which means they have an adjustable bps cap in all modes (semi auto, ramping, full-auto, 3-round burst, etc.).

Some people are already modding them, shortening the silencer/foregrip:

That looks pretty sweet, but I like 45 grips better then those and unless they have really fixed their mushy trigger problems I probably won't think of getting one.

Nope. Same goofy mushy trigger. I haven't felt a TM-15 yet (CC hasn't got any yet), but the design is the same.

They do have the recess in the TM-15 shells to use a "normal" spring. With a little work, it would probably be easy to install magnets instead.
