Kriss Super Vector

The KRISS Vector is an innovative weapons platform based on a unique design that is unconventional compared to weapons of the twenty-first century. Utilizing the patented KRISS Super V (KSV) System, the KRISS Vector effectively reduces felt recoil and muzzle climb. It has been said to be the first major breakthrough in firearms operating system technology since the Maxim machine gun in 1884

 The KRISS Company was established in 2002 with the focus on developing specialized weaponry tailored for modern combat. At the heart of the KRISS Vector is the revolutionary KRISS Super V (KSV) System, which was originally developed by French engineer, Renaud Kerbrat. This design is a break through in recoil mitigation technology where the bolt is redirected back and downwards away from the shooter. The bolt and slider follow internal tracks that guide the mechanism into a recess behind the magazine well; reducing both felt recoil and muzzle climb.

Early models of the KRISS Vector were tested in late 2007 at the US Army’s Aberdeen Testing Grounds and exceeded expectations. Since the original 2007 test, several updates and improvements have been made to the KRISS Vector.

Production of the Vector is done in the United States in Virginia Beach, VA while all engineering and prototyping are done in Switzerland.
