Regrettably, this launch has shown there are quite a lot of entitled and spoiled people in the 2A community that're way too trigger happy to tear down ambitious endeavors with less than perfect results. Considering 99% of these critics can't or won't afford one anyway, it reeks of confirmation bias. All too convenient to write something off you never had an intention of purchasing. I'd bet most of the same people dunking on TommyBuilt will eat up SigSauer's rushed-out product all day long, becoming unwitting guinea pigs for G2G "military grade" weapons. What's their excuse? Unlike with Sig, ain't nobody buying a $3500 collector's item as a combat necessity. For those who actually did buy one: Sure, it's disappointing to shell out that much for a work-in-progress, and I understand their frustration. But I'd expect reasonable people have kept the perspective that Tom runs a small company and what he's offering is something no one else is. Price aside, we're talking about a boutique item brought about by passion and demand. If there are kinks, for the love of god, bear with him and help him help us. He doesn't have HK's R&D department. And it's not like we can take our money elsewhere for the same gun. Tearing him down won't benefit any of us actually interested in owning an MP7. If it was easy to achieve, we'd have stopped dreaming about it years ago.

Can I get a witness?!?!? 🙏🏻

[@SquidlyCFST]

Bruh, I love this post. This same logic can be applied to a lot of niche guns that aren't assembly ar15s. The process takes years to perfect. The 2A community are generally whiney bitches when it comes to expectations. Your precious little ar15 took 20 years to get where it is today. Stop expecting perfection from people trying to push the envelope of the industry and do stuff that isn't just reskins of the same ole same ole. I'm all here for the T7 and fully intend to buy and enjoy the "facking" hell out of it here shortly. Cheers brother. Flex on the poors🤩😍😂

Here’s my issue , you & anyone else that bought one bought it expecting to run for that price & it simply doesn’t. Making excuses is not working for me .

[@Steve_MP5]

Do you own one? If not then you can’t say they don’t run. Mine works just fine. In no way can you make a claim that they all don’t work just because some people have had issues. Not everyone has social media and shows them working.

[@johnneill5960]

@@Steve_MP5 no I don’t buy shit that I know doesn’t work . What percentage of them do you think are reliable? I won’t buy an 870 now either because is QC is shit . How do I know that many don’t work , simple , you’re the only one on YT saying they work & even you had issues . I don’t know what kinda discount or deal you got but you shouldn’t sully your reputation if you have one by talking up things that obviously have issues . Firearms are worthless if they don’t go bang every time you put your booger finger on the bang switch . ✌️

[@Steve_MP5]

@@johnneill5960bro.. Wow. You got me! I’m getting kick backs because I’m showing it working 🤣🤣🤣. You probably don’t shoot any 22lr either because it has a higher probability of dud rounds and some guns need HV to cycle! Have a nice night, John 🍻

[@MAAGir]

@@johnneill5960 Nearly every gun, in their first inception, has had flaws and refinements done. The Sig Sauer P365 would fire when dropped. In 2017, the Remington 700 was recalled for firing without touching. Many Vietnam vets hated the M16 because it would CONSTANTLY jam. I’m not sure your point, other than firearms sometimes need refinement. I love my T7, and have firsthand experience with it, contrary to 95% of those who heavily criticize it.

[@johnneill5960]

@@MAAGir and Remington 700’s have dropped off the map just like 870’s because of QC . Cool Though I don’t care if you drop 3500 on a firearm that clearly has issues . If it was a car would you do the same ? And as someone who Has used firearms to protect himself and others in places most can’t find on a map guns are tools , and if your tool doesn’t work it’s useless.

Key word sir is 1.... You are correct.

[@ninjascout468]

keep telling yourself a $3500+ gun is ok not running 100% I hope yours works great but I've seen to many others have problems with Tommy built guns

[@MAAGir]

lol then don’t buy one

[@bigslinking]

@@MAAGir ninjascout468 only came here to vomit a comment and be a jagoff. Because he suffers from "Tommy Built Guns Derangement Syndrome" it's very rare sorry sad affliction, but it's only contagious in America amongst the eunuchs. At least this jagoff's comment will cause the algorithm to favor the video to be shown in the recommendations. Commenting the first day it uploads is very important; it's helping this channel's content be seen👍.

[@SeanGoBoom]

Who cares if you’ve ’seen so many others that don’t work.’ Being an earlier adopter of a product created by someone who had the balls and expertise to do so has some initial temporary risks, anybody that knows Tom Bostic and his reputation know any early bumps and curves of the T7 project will be made right. You consuming content online about something you’re can’t afford to participate in makes your armchair quarterback comments and opinions invalid.

[@AggiePhil]

Damn that SF Scout is flopping all over the place every time the gun fires.

[@Steve_MP5]

The screw was coming loose. It almost fell off lol. I tightened it at some point but can’t remember if it was before or after filming.

[@AggiePhil]

@@Steve_MP5 gotcha. Didn't know if it was due to the mount on the gun or the mount on the light. Glad to hear you got it squared away.

[@TheNemesisgtp]

Man I love my T7. Did it have issues, yeah, but Tom got me sorted and now it runs like a scolded dog. Love the B&T can. Mine has the new locking collar. But they do shoot great.

[@roughneckmp]

I had issues with my T36 when Tom first started making them,… he got me completely sorted out, even when going to the TG36. Cannot explain how great Tom Bostic is.

[@Steve_MP5]

As you can see from the video. Mine did too. But all is well now. And if something comes up where it isn’t, I’m sure Tom will get it in for service PDQ

[@SD-gt5kc]

Really cool glad to see it running reliably.

[@butchieyost9129]

Never want to wish fail on fellow 2A guys… but… the level of forgiveness these mp7 fanboys have on this firearm is alarming - The price tag should dictate a high level of QC. Very much reminiscent of the video game market and the consumers being the beta testers.

Thank you for the content upload today. 6:34 If they say that, just smile and try not to burst into laughter at their ignorance. Many guns are ammo sensitive... and "Tommy Built Guns Derangement Syndrome" is a very sorry sad self-induced mental problem😉.

[@TY-pf6vb]

I loved the MP7 in battlefield 3 it’s a shame HK won’t let us own the real deal.

[@winstonpratt604]

Wow i see alotta people saying people are just mad cuz they cant afford one 😅😅 at this point why would they even try 💯

[@Mattys556]

That is damn pretty... I'm sure they will work out the issues and eventually...maybe...get some new "rare" trigger upgrades...wink wink.

[@petercristiano4068]

I just saw your post over on the forum. You think Tom would’ve set aside at least one firearm and put 1k rounds through it, see where it starts to fail or where certain parts are having issues. Having a gun fail at 600 rounds with a $3500 price tag is unacceptable. Sure it’s a first run and all that so I get the slack given. Firearms are tools that are supposed to run, it’s up to the user to determine if they want it as a safe queen or not. Majority of corvette owners aren’t going to take it to the track, however it will still perform if you do decide to track it. I hope that’s a good analogy. I personally want this firearm and invested a lot of money in accessories. But I’m not gonna sit here sugar coating anything. It has problems and needs to be fixed. I’ll wait until those happen. And even if it’s not your truck gun, I’m sure other people had intentions of this being their bag gun or bedside gun.

[@Steve_MP5]

Are you talking about initial testing or when people had issues? I agree it has problems that need fixed. I’m just saying where GT is concerned.

[@petercristiano4068]

@@Steve_MP5 I’m talking about the initial testing. Seems too many of the t7 are having issues for there not to have been a known problem somewhere if there was some extensive testing done. Not exactly sure either, but from what it seems the prototype was an actual mp7 parts kit. I’ve seen it for sale from gundog armory. So to base the firearms functioning off of actual mp7 parts wasn’t the best plan, if that’s how it was tested. Like I said, I’m heavily invested in the t7 and want this whole thing to work out.

Good to see it working, the Hornady black ammo is a 38 gr bullet at 2100 fps. i was wondering does your brass exhibit signs of cratering on the primers? I have seen two other guns besides the one i tried that are exhibiting cratering on the fired brass.

[@Steve_MP5]

I have not checked

[@jknewb6276]

Everyone with a "Tommy built?" On the KZbinrs has compiled a months worth of shooting for thier intros, they just wore the same clothes each time. Not fooling me! Someone in the comments "go ahead and knock down a good company, yall just broke" Yeah that sounds about right, goes from defending to criticizing because the "piece of history" isn't running like it should before being released to the hundred people that actually bought one. I can buy a real piece of history for $600 off Legacy Collectibles and it's 70 years old and still shoots better than a T7 It's not just about the money, the owner pretty much used ammo as the go to problem for everyone's issue through email. If you can't own up to something you may have done wrong prior of releasing said $3500 then your credibility starts crumbling.
