BT TM-7 just released. And no, it's not another blowback

The BT TM-7™ utilizes Mini™ Technology to inflict maximum force from a marker of minimal size. Don’t be fooled by the size of the TM-7’s exterior; it can hang with the big boys and is by no means a lightweight. Once you hold one and pull the trigger, you won’t want to put it down. Its lightweight, yet durable construction is perfect for close quarters or long-range combat. This is the marker that just may have people rethink the way they looked at Mil-Sim paintball markers.
Features

* Mini™ Technology Inside
* Shift-On-The-Fly, 4-Position Mode Switch
* Multiple, Extensive Firing Modes Including Semi/Burst/Full-Auto
* Multiple Picatinny Rails Allow For Extra Accessories
* Adjustable, Multi-Position Stock
* Collapsible/Adjustable Front Grip
* Low Pressure Operation
* No External Hoses; Internal Airline Operation
* Additional Modes: NPPL/PSP/NXL/Millennium
* Universal Mini™-Style Barrel Threads

Yes, that's an Invert Mini in an MP7 body.

Interesting, and it does look very nice but it is also very similar to the tac-9, the SP-1, the opsgear mp-7 kit for the tac-8, ect.

But sounds like a very cool marker!
Price?
Release date?

I think I like it but I'm not sure.

I'm not much into the milsim thing but it's sure neato.

Oh and, it says it takes "Universal Mini™-Style Barrel Threads"
The mini takes cocker barrels.
So this thing will take cocker barrels too?
Nice, tight looking marker.

Well that is cool.. to bad its basically a mini, those things have a "Yugo" like track record locally for breaking and over all being a head ache..... There is still a mini shaped dent in the office door at the field I work at from when we had enough with our rental one.

Price rumor is that it's less than a Tac8 with the Opsgear kit.

One problem with the Opsgear kit is that you're stuck with the 8 shot magazine. Great for a pistol, but not-so-great for a main gun. I have a Tac9 and I nearly always use it with the hopper adaptor and remote adaptor.

Same here and although it's not really appealing for me, changing modes on the fly adds a few kudos points for realism. The flip side of that is that it would be an easy way to cheat.

I'm guessing it would only be used at fields that allow full auto/ramping, otherwise it better have a tourney lock on it.

And actually, every experience i've had with minis so far has been good, they seem like nice, better then average markers to me.

Even on a field that allows PSP ramping it would be nice to be able to switch it back to normal semi. It sucks when you go to do a single shot or double tap and your gun decides that it should still be in ramping mode.
