Over
the years, one of the common discomforts experienced by enforcers, soldiers and
operators is shooting recoil. Normally when a person pulls the trigger on any
firearm, the recoil force will slam back into the shooter’s shoulder, causing
massive amounts of felt recoil and resultant muzzle climb. This felt recoil and
increased muzzle climb will drastically reduce the accuracy of the operator and
the time needed to re-acquire the target.
Introducing
the Kriss Vector system; developed by
Kriss Arms over a 5-year period in cooperation with the US Army ARDEC Picatinny
Arsenal. While traditional firearms
utilize a “straight-line” design that drives the action of the firearm directly
toward the operator creating a substantial increase in the felt recoil and
movement, the KRISS Vector overcomes the effects of the felt recoil by re-directing
the blow back energy down and away from the operator.
As
a result, the Vector reduces the felt recoil and muzzle climb through a
counter-balancing mass in the form of the bolt and slider mechanism that
absorbs the shock and redirects the forces away from the operator. This action
will increase the operator’s ability to consistently put rounds on target
faster and more accurately whether it’s semi-auto, multi-round burst or a full
automatic rate of fire.
By
re-vectoring these forces, the patented Vector system works with the shooter by
helping keep the muzzle exactly where the operator points it. No recapturing or
reacquiring of sight picture is needed.
The
system has been designed to meet the demand of today's changing tactical
challenges. Due to its small platform envelope and light weight, the KRISS is
easily deployed in CQB and mobile tactical situations. Currently the system can
be found adopted into four categories of firearms; Carbines, Short Barrel
Rifles, Pistols and Submachine guns. In any mode of firearm, the Vector system is capable of reaching firing rate up
to 1200 rounds-per-minute at stand-off distance of 100 metres.
