Description
The Tactical Combat Operation-series 14 sub machine gun is a bullpup style firearm developed by Trident Firearms. It is a mid to close range firearm that fires Trident Firearms' 3.52x32mm pistol rounds from a 20 round or 30 round skewed box magazine. Under normal conditions it fires 600 rounds/min with a muzzle velocity of 700 m/s. It has full-automatic and semi-automatic fire-modes.
The TCO-14 A1 has a few improvements over the base weapon. It features a tighter bolt system, elevated rail and adjustable cheek-rest.

Pretty interesting.
A few things I didn't like, though:
1. Angle of the cheek rest. I think it'd be better if you angled it the other way (where the forward part rises and the back part is stationary). If you think about it, the net motion is you going forward to the gun; so it'd make more sense for the cheek riser to "accept" your cheek, rather than coming at it from a weird angle. Look at the SCAR or the ACR/Masada for what I mean.
2. It's pretty clear that this weapon is a righty weapon, and on your other post you can see the angle of the skewed magazine. However, you've put the ejection port on the left side. Now unless it's a reversible port (and again, with your skewed magazine port I'm not sure how useful it'd be firing from the left shoulder) then hot brass is just going to go into the shooter's face.
3. The size of the cartridges (and the magazine). You say that the TCO-14 fires a 3.52x32mm round, but if I take the diameter of one of the casings shown and use that as a reference for the proportions of the length, it's definitely not a 1:10 ratio. In fact, your rounds right now look like REAL rounds - 9x19 Parabellum or .45 ACP.
Other than those, though, I like this design. It reminds me of a lot of things - maybe all combined into one. I see the Assault SMG from GTA V, the MSBS Radon, and the airsoft APS Urban Assault Rifle. Its profile and size is like the P90 - very static, but very sleek.

Edit: I take back the size of the cartridges comment. I just had another look at the MP7 (which fires a 30mm-long cartridge), and the magazine size is comparable.

Pretty nice render.
Though, a "tighter bolt system" is the opposite of a "feature".
That's the mark of poor design and "lab conditions only" schools of thinking that produced the original AR-15 platform that was dangerously useless in the field.
Most successful (obviously excluding the politics-driven M-16 series) combat weapons are loose, rattly weapons that let the mud, sand and blood flow through them, rather than trying to seal it out.
...And 2,300 FPS (700M/S) is REALLY slow for a 3.52mm dart, 6.5x25 (4mm dart) CBJ gets 2,400(730 M/S) from a 4.7 inch barrel (120mm) (pistol) and 3,000 FPS (900M/S) in a 12inch (300mm) barrel. So you might wanna run your numbers again, 'cause your bullet underperforms compared to real rounds filling the same role.
