Just picked up a TM-7 about 2 hours ago at D's Hobbies. They just happened to have 1 in stock as I walked in. Out of the box: First Emphasis - Construction, Super light out of the box. Front grip is a little light duty. Sliding stock satisfies needs but seems a little light weight as well. Everything else is top notch ( without actual battle testing it ). The trigger options are near endless and I wont really go over them except the select fire is a great and intuative. The ported barrel seems snappy to the user.... does this mean it's more quite downfield? We shall see! Did I mention it was light weight... Feels like a squirt gun in your hands. But looks pretty much exactly like a MP7. A tac cap would be a nice addition. Trigger Time: Simple to use quick, nimble, compact, ..... accurate. The front sight is placed mid point at the feed neck, a bit acqward at first but seems work out nicely on target. Though I feel it makes the handeling seem to tight possibly. Price Point: $400 bucks.... its not cheap but neither is the TM7.. You get what you pay for. You do get $400 in value. I could see the investment being about $550 with ripclip and optics. Hellfish TV has a test fire on youtube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNrEZ_O6c-Y

Nice write up. Snakes computer is so slow that that weapon will be surplus by the time he can watch that vid.

A Dude in Canada posted this pic online. A custom made adapter for the Rip Clip From what I see online. Factory adapters are out about 1 to 3 months. Probally an attempt to sell TM-7's then come out with a package deal in 3 months or so...

Still undecided if this will make it to HB08... I'll let you molest it if it does make it.

If you don't have room for it, I'm driving to Bend on Thursday and the rest of the way Friday. I'll have plenty of extra room for your TM-7 ;D .

I just got some parts from RAP4 for product testing on my Gen4 so I think I'm qualified to test your TM-7 for you for a few months .

Well after firing the TM-7 in factory settings (13 bps) I decided I would adjust the super smart trigger and select fire. Big mistake... while in programming mode, the LED indicator went down. Orange is dead, Red is flipping out insanely and green is perfectly good. If the programming stuck... the thing should be perfectly operational but.... I cant re/de program it. I cant lock it out, I cant wipe it out and get response from the colored LED's .....
D's Hobbies is hoping to make it right... and get me a setup for HB08.....
Something to always consider for field problems as it is a electronic speedball marker with Mil-Sim cosmetics.... Eyes,Triggers,Controls,Action all electrically operated...
I'm hoping it's an isolated incident.
Im bummed out.
