| Review: |
The TM-15 is very similar to the TM-7 as it is made by the same company. It is basically a rifle where as the TM-7 is an SMG design. It has lots of rails for adding on tactical accessories. The TM-15 has an improved trigger compared with the TM-7. The trigger now actually has some give to it where as the TM-7s felt uncomfortable. The fire mode selector also has a nice solid click now compared with the weak selector on the TM-7. I played a 5 hour scenario game on the weekend with the TM-15. The next 2 days my arm had a large amount of pain from hauling the gun around. A simple solution to this would be to attach a sling to the gun as I have done with my SP8. The TM-15 is insanely quite. This is due to the design of the front grip which has internal baffles to reduce the markers sound signature. It is in fact so quite that I had several people on my team bring up the fact that it was quite while playing. I had trouble with the flip up sites. I tried to play with them a bit but in the end just took them off and sighted down the top of the barrel. I tried 2 barrels on the TM-15 the first was the stock and the second was a special ops C series 18 inch carbon fiber. The 18 inch barrel gave me better accuracy but in the end I decided to use the 14 inch stock barrel at the scenario as I have found that long barrels generally break paint when firing in full auto. The TM-15 has an expanding stock. The TM-15 has a magazine that holds the battery, room for a spare battery and also space for tools so you don’t have to haul around your Allen keys in your pocket. The grip of the TM-15 is vertical which gives it an odd look. This didnt bug me at all in the game though so its purely a cosmetic thing.
Full auto on the TM-15 is nice. The speed of the firing modes are able to be changed all the way up to 20 BPS. It has the down side of being a safety-auto though. Meaning you have to hit the trigger 3 times to jump it to auto.
Paint breakage did happen consistently at only one out of all the games I played During the last year. I tried several different paint types but all broke. The problem was the temperature. It was well below -15C that day. Not a good gun for winter play. (I have found the Smart Parts SP-8 works well in cold weather.)
I just had trouble using the Iron sights. My brother on the other hand seems to like them. I suppose it comes down to personal preference on that.
All around it is a very nice gun worth the price. |

All around it is a very nice gun worth the price.

| Review: |
I used to own a TM-7 and overall it was a great marker, I decided to sell it and I bought a TM-15 instead.
The TM-15's sound signature is really really quiet, with a ghillie suit this marker is a perfect combination depending on your style of play.
The marker is super accurate with the stock barrel, I use the FLASC barrel with an APEX tip for long range shots.
The marker includes the RC adapter but you'll need to mod the MIC so it works fine or you can wait until the TM series Rip clip is released.
The marker is a little bit too long in my opinion this makes it prone to barrel and hopper hits, some users have cut the barrel shroud already.
Overall the TM-15 is a fantastic marker for woodsball and milsim players
.

| Conclusion: |
If you're in the market for a new marker or just want to upgrade your existing marker, the TM-15 is an excellent choice, try it before buying !!!!!! |

| Review: |
Well what is there not to like about this marker? An e-marker for the woods fully dressed. Selector switch , quite , and can paint the tree's..lol..
In my 18 years i stay'd with blow back systems .. this is my first E-marker..
the only faults i found were the condom didn't fit..lol.
it is a great operating marker well put togeather.
But this is not for a newbie it is complex to take apart. and the care and attention it needs is.. well only with exsperiance.. great tool kit, works well..
so if you want to try e-markers and still want your woods ball look this is it.. next to the x-7.. the advantage this has over the x7 is air efficiency , and can shoot more ball's per sec.. witch is limited anywere you go so.. it depends on your taste x7 has more add on and conversions compaired to the tm7 |
|
| Conclusion: |
I give this a 9 only because it is not for newbies |
