It's pretty cool knowing that out of all these years it's still being improved upon even if only slightly. I'm just really glad my t15 came with a case . Still got the hopper adapter, never used

[@a.freeland179]

It's crazy how Defcon is advertising the new version of the T15. But First Strike 's website is still stuck on 3 years ago. Defcon has more specs and details than First Strike... -?- Thank you Defcon for being better salesman to other company products. Keep up the great work.

[@defconpaintball]

Appreciate it. We will get them on it.

[@zerowillpwr5157]

Showing the old hand guard side by side would have been an idea, but thanks for the update my dude, appreciate the content.

If you check the barrel well you will notice that there is a change, it no longer brings the holes in the middle of the barrel

[@SuperbikeSurgeryTV]

Unfortunately barrel wobble is still an issue with the Lapco barrels I've tried. The fix is to buy the "First Strike Barrel Adjust Sleeve 2.0" Funny how First Strike made the part to fix the problem but don't include it. 🤬

[@dokt4h4ze66]

My came with it, but no iron sights

[@robgrey6121]

I would have liked to see the T15 still come with the flip-up iron sights, especially the original Tiberius sights. But flip-up sights can be found on "popular online shopping sources" for a decent price.

I got knock off Magpul ones for $10.00. They really are just for looks.

[@theinquisitor7191]

Too bad governments are being watchful from these real gun lookalike.

[@aunttifa6794]

Call the paintball store and ask them “do you have powder balls?” When they reply affirmatively, reply back, “do you have the potpourri or the sandalwood scented ones?” “or any of the aromatherapy scented balls?”

I kind of regret selling my T15. I didn’t know they changed the configuration, I may have to pick up a new one soon.

I'm honestly thinking about buying one and modifying it into something special. Either this or the Valken M17, but my opinions are slowly being swayed towards the T15.

Edit: I just bought the T15 (made up my mind on that) and it is SO cool! I cannot WAIT to use this in battle! :D

[@justalpha9138]

I used it last weekend and it is AWESOME

[@Ryansk9companion]

@@justalpha9138 any advice now? I just got mine. I had the previous Valken Blackhawk. It wasn’t that great

[@justalpha9138]

@@Ryansk9companion Definitely be sure to read that user's manual. It's not the most beginner friendly marker out there, and it has certain elements you'll need to get used to, like taking out the barrel after you're done using the gun, and making sure that the gun is cocked first before you insert air. Another thing I recommend is that since it's entirely possible that your mags may not catch super well with the gun out of the box, you should tighten the mag catch latch, and REALLY break each mag in before use. Tightening the mag catch is extremely easy. All you need to do is just push the mag release button out, pull on the latch, and then it'll come out. Then you simply tighten the mag catch however much you want (I did five whole turns on mine before I later bought an ambidextrous mag release for my T-15 because I wanted one, not because the original was bad).

[@SRKnivesUSA]

Like the video. I have been thinking about buying one. This is helpful. I would prefer a case .

[@ProjectAnubisUSA]

Can I buy the barrel sleeve? The 2.0 with the adjustable collar sucks and it doesn’t fit the hammerhead barrel due to the larger diameter

[@NeilAdamstheartist]

barrel is different on newer version; new one is smooth without ports halfway through. ports evidently added fps unreliability

[@tundraboy30]

I appreciate your videos, First Strike has virtually no support videos so I find yours very valuable. Can you put a link to your first review of this? Simple things like if you install the plastic stock bar guide on the air tank does that marry it permanently to the stock? It seems to which is lame. I have a spare 13ci tank, I don’t want to buy another plastic guide bar, let alone another stock to marry it to! Also I got a plastic front sight, no rear sight, but I did get a hopper adapter that I don’t want.

[@justalpha9138]

I got mine in the mail recently and it's super cool! Can't wait to use it! :) Edit: just used it last weekend and it is F*CKING AWESOME.

[@jdsim9173]

[@Dee8421]

Is that a 12” rail system?

[@JosueLopez-ft4lq]

They should completely get rid of hopper compatibility, if you want to use a hopper just get a different marker

[@diegor2998]

It's all about freedom of choice; you might not like hopper compatibility but there's certainly others who do and it helps them have an easy way to use their manner of play

[@JosueLopez-ft4lq]

@@diegor2998 As I said just get a hopper compatible paintball like a tmc. The T15 could be cheaper if it wasn’t hopper compatible and I’m sure 99% of T15 owner have never and will never use a hopper with it

[@atomicgibbon5374]

I don’t know, events like Decay of Nations ban first strike rounds so it makes sense to attach an electric hopper if you let your buddy use your other marker.

[@BeltFedSelfDefense]

So, I'm just getting into paintball and am thinking of this over the Tippmann TMC. However, because I am a crayon eating knucklehead, I greatly desire some heavy quad railed autism. So, if I take off that M-Lok monstrosity, can the old quad rails be mounted?

[@CGCommando82]

Yes, and just about any real steel AR compatible handguard should fit on the marker itself, just check if the barrel will have clearance before you go crazy

[@justalpha9138]

[@abalrog42]

I would have given an arm and a limb for my First Strike T15 to not come with that HORRIBLE heavy front rail! Once that stupid thing got taken off for any reason, it was impossible to get back on correctly (or tight for that fucking matter) and it always looked super dumb 🤣🤣🤣 I'm also just bitter because all the stupid bullshit that didn't originally come with the T15 does now...I had to buy all that crap as well as the drop-down asa 😆 easily an extra $200...

[@FreedomAirguns]

PRICE increase and no carry case ?? No full auto OOTB ?? Not even options to tune it as less-lethal launcher ?? MEh.... NO thanx. Whoever is making it can keep it...The wind has changed and people want more options. The missing case is ok, the rest isn't. I can buy a cheap airsoft replica and strap the lower of a milsig inside of it to make a T15 for a fraction of the price of the original and still have more features/options than THAT. As if that wasn't enough, I'm fed up by the 0.68...I want options to change the CALIBER...I'd love to play with 0.50 or even 0.43 but nobody is even thinking about that...Haven't you noticed ? 0.68 apart, 0.50 and 0.43 BARRELS are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND...But markers in those calibers DO exist... I *might* even swallow the price if there were KITS to enable the aforementioned features (there is the full-auto kit but that's it and it's about 130$ on top of the 600$ to 700$ of the marker...) but, again, nothing in this regard... Anyway, that's just like the barra 400e....Aimed to those who have no clue whatsoever...While, even there, an aisoft gun with a set of high torque gears and a tougher spring is 100% times better for a fraction of the price.... I mean, do they all think people to be stupid or what...? What even is their target audience at this point....?

[@justalpha9138]

You clearly have never used of these rifles. Trust me, you're getting what you're paying for, and I've seen SOOOOOO MANY high end airsoft guns breaking down and needing fixes (which by the way, why are you comparing airsoft guns to this? They function completely differently). Second, 68 cal is the standard for paintball because .50 and .43 suck most of the time because they both don't fly very far, and they don't leave a large mark, so the T-15 not being able to shoot .50 caliber isn't a big deal at all.

As mentioned, weight.

I have an M lock foregrip for my T-15 and a Picatinny angled grip for my TMC and I can tell you that it makes a huge difference in weight when you have to add a Picatinny rail just to mount an attachment. Picatinny should only run across the top of your marker
