The Kriss Vector platform is one of the most innovative developments in modern firearms technology and represents the first advancement in modern firearms operating systems in over a century. The Vector operates on the patented, Super V Recoil Mitigation System, a unique operating system that delivers recoil redirection in a downward motion, away from the shooter, which is capable of eliminating felt recoil by 60% and muzzle climb by 95% compared to traditional operating systems. This is accomplished with the use of a small, lightweight bolt that engages with a slider mass that moves in a vertical trajectory within the frame instead of straight back as is the case with most modern firearms.

Changing between calibers can be done in seconds without the use of any tools. As has always been the case, the Kriss Vector operates smoothly with the use of the ever pervasive Glock magazine.
