BT TM-15 Details

RodentX · June 18th, 2009

BT TM-15 ™

The BT TM-15™ is an excellent choice for any woodsball or mil-sim paintball enthusiast. Its high performance body is strong, yet light enough in weight for all-day action. Equipped with features usually found on much more expensive markers, the BT TM-15 features a true electropneumatic operating system as well as reduced sound signature for stealth firing in any of the multiple firing modes. With the standard multiple Picatinny rails, accessory options are nearly endless. Internal airline operation eliminates external hoses. Plus, front and rear sights ensure you get your shot.

I'm still thinking about it. I need to talk to John about it and see if he can get me a price. They're not going to be out until July, so I have time to drool for now.

Conceptually this is a great marker, but the electronics seem to be the weak point.

It looks kinda like
POF-USA Patriot Ordnance Factory, Inc.

Anyways, If I had to pick right now-I'd go with a Cycloned Salvo.

Ya but you know the Rodent likes those crazy high speed electro's... lol

I like the looks of it. But based on price, I bet it will be very popular.

This doesn't make sense... did you mean "will not be very popular."???

I'd say "not"

Most of the kids willing to drop 4 notes on a paintball gun are of the speedball variety.

Also, there doesn't seem to be nearly as much modd-ing or upgrading available for the electro style milsim markers. For example, the SP8. It was a great feeling marker, but it was the feed setup that ultimately made me decide to give up on it.

That's my biggest complaint about my SP-8 - I hate how high the hopper sits. With a full hopper, it gets top heavy and eventually the the ends up tilting forward or back, or even twists loose. Really a poor design.

If that's a major issue, the TM-15 will be able to accept the Rip Clip (Halo powered loader.) I have a Rip Clip on my BT-4 and have been very pleased with it.

You can't put a cyclone feed on the salvo. I looked into it already and it won't fit at all. There isn't even a way to modify it to fit.

The internals of the TM-15 and the TM-7 are the same internals the MINI has in it.

Tippmann said there will be a cyclone for the Salvo... how could you not modify it, what was in the way?

Per Tippmann, the Salvo takes every Alpha accessory (i.e. trigger, cyclone, bolt, etc.). Were you trying to fit an A5 cyclone or a custom 98 cyclone? The Alphas take everything the 98 custom/PLS markers take...minus a few springs, screws, and orings.

Koolaid, I am curious to your answer, because I bought a few 98 custom cyclone feed systems just for the Salvos I had shipped to me... thx
