ive got serial number 168 at the store

also, the foregrip is complete crap. WAY to loose and wobbly. they definitely need to make that far more sturdy

also, you should of used the halo in the speed test, the Egg is slowing the gun down

anybody got one with shot guts so I can do a mag conversion

We were shooting 15 bps, Eggy was set at max (17 I believe)

Please note in the test we were shooting a very soft deer target and were getting a lot of bounces. If you don't pay attention you could mistake a ball bouncing off the target for another ball coming into the target. In the future I think we are going to have to do this video again using a board target to solve the bouncing problem. This gun is very solid and is accurate and ready to perform right out of the box. I had 1 barrel break all day and I was able to shoot through it!

I don't really like milsim markers but that thing is badass. Is it based off a mini?

[behemoth]

Yes, it is.

I still want one. Qloader, and a remote. I'd play xball with it.

Yea, the internals are pretty much the same as a mini.

yes it IS a mini, with a milsim shroud.

Enhander, i know the eggy is set to 17bps, but it does not maintain that rate of fire. try with a Halo and you notice a higher rate of fire instantly. every egg i have ever used only had a sustained rate of around 13-14 on a good day.

also another note, unless your using a small 45/45 with a small reg. putting a tank onto the gun feels VERY ackward. i do believe this gun was and is only for remote setups (personal opinion)




edit: also, enhander does the TM-7 have the back cap that can be adjusted like on actual mini's? if so you can definitely tune that thing to have no kick (but gets bad air consumption)

[Enhander]

Yes, it is.

I still want one. Qloader, and a remote. I'd play xball with it.

We (our team) might be working with Q-Loader to make a TM7 adapter.

Yea, thats true. We'll be doing another test (shooting a hard target instead of a soft one), ill be sure to put my Halo or a Pulse on it.

And again, Tank on gun is very awkward, you are correct.

you could also just use a BT Rip-Clip

[Enhander]

you could also just use a BT Rip-Clip

Rip clips are very nice, but at the same time very heavy. Being the TM7 only weighs 2.5 lbs the ripclip might offset it..but i do agree, a rip clip would be awesome with this gun

The gun is also very effecient from the get go. I was shooting a full hopper of paint and only using 250-300 PSI. Again once the reg breaks in this will only get better.

That's doesn't tell us anything. 250-300psi of what? With the lack of info I can only hope you're referring to a drop in tank pressure rather than the operating pressure of the marker. Still, even if it is tank pressure it doesn't tell us anything, because dropping the pressure of my 45ci that much is way less gas than dropping my SCBA tank's pressure that much.

You might want to consider spellcheck, too.

Other than that, cool review. If I bought milsim markers (or markers with batteries) I'd consider picking one up. How wobbly is that front grip, though? That's the one thing I hear from everyone who's tried one, seems pretty sloppy for them to do that if all they did was make a new shell. Well, that and the stock not going in far enough to lock, that's kinda sloppy, too...

EDIT: That mode selector worries me, though. Any way to lock it so you need tools to change it? I'm just thinking some kid could easily flip that into full-auto and back to semi if a ref comes to check.
