On Thursday,
October 11, TDI welcomed more than a dozen members of the news media to the Blackwater USA Training Facilities in Moyock, North
Carolina, for a fully interactive two-hour program to showcase the company's
newly completed KRISS Vector SMG
.45 ACP (Military and Law
Enforcement) and Vector CRB/SO
.45 ACP (Civilian Carbine)
weapons.
This new line incorporates an unprecedented
technological breakthrough that increases weapon controllability by reducing
muzzle climb by as much as 90 percent and felt recoil by as much as 50 percent.
The
event provided members of the media with the unique opportunity to experience
first-hand the features and benefits of these products, scheduled for
institutional and public release in January 2008.
The
sun-splashed day began with a classroom program at which TDI CEO Chuck Kushell,
Senior Vice President Andrew Finn, Vice President Tim Lindsay and others
described and displayed the mechanics and the physics of the weapons, followed
by a tactical demonstration and an opportunity for those in
attendance to fire the weapons.
