Press-release from KWA:

City of Industry, CA – July 29, 2010 - KWA is pleased to announce an exciting partnership with KRISS Systems SA, designer and manufacturer of the KRISS Vector submachine gun. KRISS Systems SA, a Swiss global industry leader in firearm innovation, holds the patent for the unique Super V System found in the KRISS Vector.

Unlike conventional firearm designs, the KRISS Super V System redirects recoil forces to aid the user, rather than work against the user. Even with the powerful recoil of the .45 ACP round, the Vector “reduces felt recoil by as much as 70% and muzzle climb by as much as 95%!” This breakthrough design has been featured in popular television programs such as Future Weapons and Ultimate Weapons. It has also received numerous accolades from the staff writers of Guns and Weapons for Law Enforcement and Popular Science for revolutionizing firearms engineering. The KRISS Vector SMG is currently under evaluation by various special operations units worldwide to become a referenced weapon for Close Quarter Battle and Urban Warfare. With such advanced technology, an airsoft version is the natural step.

KWA has been granted an exclusive, worldwide license to design and produce GBB (Gas Blow Back) versions of the KRISS Vector, never before done within the airsoft industry. The first prototype of the Vector GBB will be unveiled at the 2011 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The new airsoft gun will be 1:1 in dimensions and powered by KWA’s advanced gas system technology; providing consistent and reliable operation KWA products are known for. Pricing and release dates will be announced in the future.

“Designing the GBB airsoft KRISS Vector SMG is a unique challenge that requires both innovative out-of-the-box thinking and strong Research and Development capabilities. Powered by precision engineering, high performing products and a passion to outperform, we entrusted KWA as the sole manufacturer of all our current and upcoming KRISS GBB airsoft products“ said Christophe Guignard, Director of Marketing of KRISS Systems SA.

With unparalleled customer and warranty service, KWA strives to ensure that all of its products are of the highest quality and its customers are properly cared for. The introduction of the 2GX AEG (Airsoft Electric Gun) gearbox and the NS2 GBB system has set a new standard in airsoft technology.

I wonder if KWA will pull their facility out of California, what with State Bill 798.

Gunny_McSmith July 12th, 2011 11:40

Held a RS one while I was in California.... hated it...lol

I fired both the semi auto and non neutered versions of the real one and had a blast.

Coresair July 20th, 2011 22:56

I did post a news thread on this last year, still cool! :)

Death March July 21st, 2011 18:52

I'v been waiting for this for about the two past years,since they started talking about it! I almost gave up.

sharpshooter17 July 23rd, 2011 15:09

If this ever gets realesed im gonna buy it right away

Death March July 23rd, 2011 16:32

I might wait for a 2nd Gen. to come out, just so they can work the bugs out!

uberyoji October 6th, 2011 19:35

Anyone know if they scrapped the project? Its been more than a year now...

FreelancerInc October 6th, 2011 21:07

according to shot show they are still planning for a release and they are also working on the vectors cousin which is still in real steel prototype....i cant remember the new guns name

ThunderCactus October 6th, 2011 21:11

It's coming.
FYI the G&P MK23 was in their "coming soon" section for about 2 years before it was finally done. I recall the M1918 BAR taking a while as well.

Crunchmeister October 6th, 2011 21:51

I'll more than likely hold off and wait to see how they turn out. Like Death March said, I'll probably hold out for 2nd Gen too to make sure they iron out the bugs and mags are readily available.
