Hands-On With The TN-7 StrongArm
By Eugene Darden
ArmaCore’s line of cybernetic combat prosthetics have been highly praised in the pages of GunWorld. Their StrongArm series was ranked as the best on the market, with the GA-9 model awarded our pick for “must own” firearm-equipped prosthetic currently available. It is unfortunate that the same can not be said for their TN-7 model.
Utilizing a tri-barrel rotary design with a cylindrical ammunition feed system, the TN-7 boasts a high-rate of fire and uses specialized caseless Lintak rounds. Point-blank, the TN-7 is devastating, but the weapon’s extreme recoil makes ranged targets difficult to hit. Even the earlier YR-2, with its quad-barrel design, employed recoil dampeners to stabilize the unit —something the TN-7 sorely lacks. In the realm of personal defense, where an attacker is usually in close-proximity, recoil might not be a deal-breaker, but the TN-7 also suffers from an unstable rotary-mechanism prone to jamming mid-fire. ArmaCore announced that this defect was only present in the initial production run, but many customers claim that the issue is still present in the later TN-7s.
When not in combat-mode, the TN-7 prosthetic is serviceable but lacks some functionality and the streamlined design of other models in ArmaCore’s extensive catalogue.
Where the TN-7 shines is in its price-range, making it one of the most affordable combat prosthetics available. In addition, unlicensed mod-kits are already being sold on the Net, which not only fix the rotary issues, but can add recoil dampeners and larger capacity internal magazines.
While it is unlikely that the TN-7 will tarnish ArmaCore’s longstanding reputation for quality, it is still a disappointing inclusion in the company’s otherwise stellar lineup.

great view of her butt! thank you!
Got to love those angles and all the extra detail that goes into them.
This comic never ceases to amaze me with its perfect blend of action and fanservice.
I think that Wilkos should’ve gotten his arm fixed earlier. Or maybe Madison might’ve already damaged in the last few pages of this bar scene. Either way, at least Madison’s got a chance………………..Somehow.
Well he was fumbling with his arm and trying to get it to work as soon as Madison tossed him over the bar. Besides, getting his arm working earlier wouldn’t have stopped the jamming.
“…the TN-7 also suffers from an unstable rotary-mechanism prone to jamming mid-fire.”
That and Wilkos doesn’t strike me as the type of guy to research things he buys or does regular maintenance on them to ensure they remain working.
Be careful,Miss Madison!
Get him, Madison!
This entire scene’s been a delight. Wonderful views of Madison, really nice action, and a bunch of eye catching content between that outfit she’s wearing and her fighting off the drugs.
That’s the thing if you buy tech that the military or federal government agencies doesn’t use. It can be more likely to malfunction.
There is also the possibility that Wilkos is just incompetent and is the type of guy to buy something because it looks badass and not really do the necessary research on things he buys to ensure it doesn’t have any big problems, especially if it’s cheap like this arm is. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Wilkos doesn’t really use the gun part of the arm itself much, other than to show off, or do maintenance for it since it never really gets used all that much.
A lot of times buying things the gov’t and military don’t use is the way to go, smaller production runs can be higher quality, having to sell something that works instead of what a politician’s kid is selling, and/or buying from the lowest bidder instead of the better maker can all add up to make a product that looks good to people who don’t have to use it but is prone to failure under field use. This is why a lot of the military biys off the shelf equipment to replace or supplement their gov’t issue crap.
The chance of anything failing goes up by the square of the number of moving parts…or more, some parts take this as a challenge 😉
We had problems with miniguns back in the 70’s to the point that the helicopter mounted Mini-TaT had a jettison provision and there was a pit dug at the airfield so the aircraft could land with the gun stuck in the extended position, which was a not infrequent occurance. The servos tended to become unsynched as well giving a little larger field of fire than intended, even for an area weapon.
The author note/article about the minigun said there was a rotary-mechanism issue that caused the weapon to jam, hence why it was no longer used by the government. There are unlicensed fixes for these problems on the net, but Wilkos strikes me as a guy who either doesn’t research problems of things he buys and fixes for it and/or doesn’t do the maintenance to ensure the things he buys continues to work properly if he doesn’t use them often.
Hey, Wilkos!
A world of hurt is coming at you with speed!
😀
Shit’s about to go down!
T&A plus action, the best combo.
Fucker gets what he pays for, in arms, protection and friends
Now he’s about to get what’s coming for him 🙂
Madison’s right nipple finished freeing itself 🥴
