Hello to literally every single new T15 owner, someday! Check out some of the other videos on Defcon's channel, you'll learn a lot about your marker and you will most likely need to learn everything in those videos at some point. As always, super useful and informative video. This is going to save people SO MUCH stress someday. Keep up the great content!
I literally just bought one last week... I just got in today. BUT IVE BEEN SEARCHING THE INTERNET ALL DAY, LOOKING FOR A FULL AUTO UPGRADE KIT IN STOCK!!?!?!?!?! I can't find ANY upgrade parts or upgrade kits for ANYTHING!! I bought a bunch of 30 mags and 20 round mags... and I can't even find the spring upgrade for the 30-round mags!!! IAM ACTUALLY PISSED now.. I got this for full auto, and every single place is sold out. I honestly think I have steam coming out of my ears, that's how pissed iam. The fact that I can't find any spare parts, replacement parts, upgrades, or upgrade kits anywhere on the internet... tells me I just made a huge mistake spending the $630 on the T15. Do you know where I can find any upgrades for this damn thing? Or what the actual fu🤬k IS going on with everything BEING SOLD OUT?!? why doesn't anybody have any parts in stock for this fu🤬king thing?!?! Sorry, man.. iam not mad at you, iam just pissed that I can't find a single part for this marker.
I saw another easy thing you can do to help with fs feeding properly into the chamber. You take your barrel out and take a half moon file to the rounded front of the breach on the barrel where the cap of the fs contacts the barrel during feeding. Paul Rudyk has a fantastic video on the subject.
Right now I'm torn between a T15 and an EMF100. I like the looks, customizability, and the option to go full auto of the T15. The EMF100 seems to be more air efficient and more accurate. The big deciding factor is ease of maintenance. Is the T15 the nightmare in reliability and maintenance that some of the stories suggest? I use to play with Tippmann because of their reliability and ease of maintenance.
NOPE! I went though TERRIBLE conditions with my T-15 while playing through the Monte Cassino 2022 scenario game by paintballtogo, and it performed with superb aplomb!
The EMF is more simplistic to maintain for sure, but the T-15 isn't terribly hard to upkeep by any means. It's just one bolt that you push out and the entire top receiver makes way so you can clean your marker.
I have the problem that when I shoot with my weapon, thre or two paints always come out at once, or the paints burst in the barrel. What could be the cause?
A big tip is if you have air leaking or can hear it from the back of the marker where the tank screws into the ASA. De-gas your marker and tighten the screws that secure the ASA to the back. If you still hear air leaking de-gas the marker again and remove the ASA and make sure that O-Ring that seals the air system is oiled and not cracked.
I'll look into this! Thank you! For some reason although I installed my buffer tube adapter properly for my T-15, it still leaks a small amount of air from the air socket. Not enough to be problematic, but it is still annoying and hopefully I can fix it.
I love my T15 so much. It's a great platform and although I cannot brag about it being the most accurate marker I've ever shot, it really is reliable when you oil the o-rings and make sure there's no debris or dried paint in the bolt or the magazines. I've personally never had a single problem with any of my mags over the 3 years I've owned them, just make sure to disassemble them like once a month and give them a really good cleaning with a soft cloth and some isoplopyl alcohol to mop up any residual oil from the rounds and they'll never jam on you, even when you use the fun switch 😉
I do have a question. its about my first strike scout. So when I screwed my air tank into my marker it leaked a massive amount of air. I thought maybe it was the tank so I went ahead and screwed another tank onto it. It didn't leak air but the marker didn't pressurize at all, I pulled the trigger, used the bolt action thinking maybe it had to be cocked first but nothing seemed to work. I cant find anything online about this and I just want to be able to use my marker since it was crazy expensive.
Unfortunately I don't know anything about how to fix a Scout, cuz mine has never needed to be fixed. I'd recommend reaching out to First Strike for help.
Don't do that. The bolt with the full auto kit is designed to take the higher stress and cycling speed the full auto presents. The standard bolt will wear out from the excessive force. This is the same concept used when choosing a bolt for real rifles.
take it to a local shop they will most likely tell you no charge and if you need to adjust it the parts are only like ten bucks but if you want to make a gage paintball ruined my life made a video how to make a psi gage
Home Depot and amazon sell air gauges. Find one with a range up to at least 15k psi. Attach that to a on/off ASA. This will allow to to check your tank and easily get it off.
I wish first strike could just make a functional marker at the t15 price point it's not worth it at all get a emf100 and play paintball all day with no problems
There's tons of videos on it. You literally take the cap out of the regulator take a few pieces out and you should see a blue spring. Shove a couple shims under that bad larry and put it all back together to increase output pressure
I just bought a new t15 last week to get back into paintball... AND NOW I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE PLACE THAT HAS THE FULL AUTO KIT IN STOCK, ANYWHERE!!!!! what the actual fu🤬k!! Can anyone tell me where to find this damn full auto kit in stock?!?!?! I am regretting buying the thing... I can't find ANY UPGRADES IN STOCK AT ALL... ANYWHERE!!!! I can't even find spring upgrades for my mags!!!!!!!!!!! I am actually pretty fu🤬king pissed that I bought this thing since I can't even buy the things I got the t15 for in the 1st place... FULL AUTO.
I myself have asked these questions on a Facebook group lol. Perfect quick overview of common issues! Thanks

That's what I did, and it most certainly helped!
As a new T15 owner, thank you for the video my dude!
when you adjust the recock screw , it needs to be full close?
I saw another easy thing you can do to help with fs feeding properly into the chamber. You take your barrel out and take a half moon file to the rounded front of the breach on the barrel where the cap of the fs contacts the barrel during feeding.

I love my T-15 too. I've only had it for a few months, but it's an absolute beast of a rifle that has tailored to almost all of my needs! :D

It might have the same format as the T-15 where you need to cock the marker first before putting in the tank. Give that a try and see
If my bolt is faulty Can I replace The bolt from the full auto kit for the original bolt and still use it in full auto mode?
Don't do that. The bolt with the full auto kit is designed to take the higher stress and cycling speed the full auto presents. The standard bolt will wear out from the excessive force. This is the same concept used when choosing a bolt for real rifles.
How can you gauge your output pressure? I have a t15 with a remote line and a full auto kit and a FS tank
take it to a local shop they will most likely tell you no charge and if you need to adjust it the parts are only like ten bucks but if you want to make a gage paintball ruined my life made a video how to make a psi gage
Home Depot and amazon sell air gauges. Find one with a range up to at least 15k psi. Attach that to a on/off ASA. This will allow to to check your tank and easily get it off.

You could have a least thrown in how to adjust the output pressure on a tank for those that dont know how.
We did a video on that not too long ago.
There's tons of videos on it. You literally take the cap out of the regulator take a few pieces out and you should see a blue spring. Shove a couple shims under that bad larry and put it all back together to increase output pressure
Full auto is hopeless and far too many problems with T15
Looks like the first problem can't be fixed easily since all first strike high-pressure kits are completely sold out
I just bought a new t15 last week to get back into paintball... AND NOW I CAN'T FIND A SINGLE PLACE THAT HAS THE FULL AUTO KIT IN STOCK, ANYWHERE!!!!! what the actual fu🤬k!! Can anyone tell me where to find this damn full auto kit in stock?!?!?! I am regretting buying the thing... I can't find ANY UPGRADES IN STOCK AT ALL... ANYWHERE!!!!

Best gun is dye dam by years
A gun fart is what I call that first problem
