+1.. Great video, I really enjoyed watching it and I couldn't agree with you more on what you said about the weapon. This gun has a great feel to it and I personally really enjoying using it. If your a HA user and you love the feel of the NS weapons then yes its worth picking it up.

I strongly suggest it to any VS player.

It's pretty beastly. Pulled the Flare off 2 of my 3 HA kits for it.

[Pella]

If your TR then no. Honestly.

[OCNSethy]

If your TR then no. Honestly.

Why is that?

Ive used the T9 Carv and the MSW -R, both of which i like. I did get the NS-15M but have not have much time with it of late.

What would you suggest as a goto HA primary weapon for TR?

[Neutral Calypso]

TMG-50 does everything the NS-15M does better.

That being said, I bought it for my VS and my NC. Not that I play heavy on either of those terribly often.

The NS-15M is primarily designed as a mid-range sustained fire solution: controllable, excellent bullet speed, quick reload but not so great first recoil, low min damage and low ROF/dps.

TR has at least 3 alternatives that can perform that role for mid-long range:
TMG-50: accurate, high damage
T32 Bull: controllable, versatile
T16: excellent bullet speed, good magazine size

Especially the T32 and TMG-50 will out-perform the NS-15M because it lacks the dps and min damage. T16 is too horrible for bursting.

Having said that, the NS-15M is extremely easy to handle and the best NS gun so far.

As for a go-to HA gun to best deal with multiple situations, MSW-R would be my choice probably for having a dps edge up close while not completely lacking at distance.

Nice video, I love this weapon so much. The NS-11 got old for me I enjoy other VS weapons much more but this one is awesome.

Haven't tried the carbine yet though I really want to.

Thanks Rolfski, I appreciate you answer.

This. In the category the 15M is supposted to be there is no other VS weapon that can keep up with it.
It's not that much of an alternative for NC and even less for TR, but for VS is absolutely worth the purchase.

Fantastic video as always.

I'm personally a BIG fan of the NS series of guns that have been introduced. I love the fact that they're "mid-class" weapons, that don't excel in any particular way, but solid in almost any situation. Besides, there is something to be said for a Vanu loyalist like me being able to shoot BULLETS!

Thanks for all the replies. What would you guys think of an NS sniper or scout rifle?

What would be the point? All the snipers have a mirror on the opposing faction. They're basically NS weapons as is.

I agree currently a Bolt action is a bolt action is a bolt action you can barely even tell the difference.

Although I'd like to see a NS Sniper just to complete the set.

It would carry to all of your characters which is a big selling point of the NS weapons.

I was actually thinking more of a new scout rifle, possibly semi auto sniper. You're right a bolt action would be boring and not really make sense.

If the NS sniper version carried the faster reload time that NS weapons generically have, it might be a worthwhile proposition.

Love your work BTW, Koolaid!
