No worries, I will be doing some more MP7 videos. I'm always dubious when something doesn't work and my usual go-to is to give it a bloody good clean and 9 times out of 10 it sorts it!! Glad you found the same 😀

@@OllieTalksAirsoft found that cleaning, much like real steel, makes all the difference. Do you use regular silicon spray or any other gun oils? Heard that silicon isn't great for the MWS

@@Steve_281 I just use silicone spray on everything basically. Have done for over 20 years and all my guns still work so i don't think it can be that bad. If you want to use oil you have to be careful not to get it near the hop or nozzle. Whereas if silicone gets on the hop rubber it just messes up the accuracy for a bit so you can be a bit more care free with its application.

@@OllieTalksAirsoft Thank you, that's good to know 👍

Not yet but I'll see what I can find out. Have you asked anyone on the discord group for help? That's literally what I do! I do really love the MP7 i got it just before covid hit so it hasn't had much time out as I would have liked but yes I agree it needs more attention.

@@OllieTalksAirsoft I had the sleepy trigger so much I didnt want to use it. Then I had a strange stoppage. On checking inside there was a lose piece of metal floating about. A bit more investigation and found it was end of the arm which activates the bolt lock. Bow it runs perfectly. I can live without the bolt lock

It's always the way, clean and lube and it's probably fine.

I think you're right it only seems to happen in cold weather, I was going to see if any of the laylax Dyna piston heads may fit as that may be a solution 🤔

its probably a worn bolt catch, I need to dig in and have a look but it doesn't really bother me too much, just a bit annoying sometimes.

That's a tough question because as you allude to half the community raves about how good it is but it does have some inherent flaws. Ive maybe used it in 10-15 games so me having issues so early on isn't very good. But as with most things a clean and lube got it working. I would say there are definitely better GBBRs out there and probably better gas SMG's as well, but of the MP7's on offer the TM is probably the best out of the box in terms of reliability and consistency. At least it doesn't chop BBs and the range and accuracy are decent enough even for woodland. They hold a good second hand value too so if you didn't like it they're usually pretty easy to move on. "Englefield. Echo" has some great gameplay videos with her TM MP7 GBBR, worth checking out.

@@OllieTalksAirsoft i most appreciate your guidance Ollie. I actually have one and still on the fence wether to flip or keep hahaha

@@michaelu2911 it's one of those things that if you can afford to keep it I would. You'll see one in 6 months time all upgraded and want another, I got rid of a gun once and immediately regretted it. Some serious FOMO going on with me 😂

@@OllieTalksAirsoft totally see your point and you just helped me make a decision to keep it. As always most appreciate your guidance.

@@michaelu2911 happy to help 😊

It depends on how much I use them but after maybe 3 game days I'd be thinking of giving it a wipe down. Usually I do it when I see some sort of performance issue. Like slow cycling, bolt lock not working, pretty much any issue, first off give it a clean.

No, although I did do that in order to check nothing was broken.

@@OllieTalksAirsoft i had a bb stuck near the nozzle so i removed that and sprayed it and it seems to be happy for now and cheers for you video saves me sending it back to the shop

@@46templar no worries glad to help

just for the TM hop yes. but if you really want a full size mp7 then vfc is the way forward.

@@OllieTalksAirsoft I dont really mind that it is not a 1:1 replica, but I want a reliable smg, in your experience is there a bigger aftermarket support for the tm compared to the vfc? I just don't want to worry that i wont find a part if something breaks you know.

that was an MP5, ive still got that!

@@OllieTalksAirsoft smg 8 I think I saw a video that was yours

@@DatAirsofttDude not me, I wouldn't mind getting one tho 🤣

its a stock TM nozzle

@@OllieTalksAirsoft thanks dude, how’s it holding up? I’ve been looking at getting a guarder or creation nozzle but hard to find in stock

I had a creation because I heard they were good but it broke so im back to the original nozzle and its holding up fine. the creation recoil spring isn't noticeably different to the stock one either so id save your money and spend it on a laylax rear sling mount which replaces the rear pin. that's an upgrade worth having.
