Formal Unveiling of Breakthrough Weapon Set For
2008 SHOT Show in Las Vegas
Transformation Defense Industries, Inc. (TDI), announced today the official release of their semi-automatic civilian version .45 ACP carbine firearm incorporating the revolutionary and innovative KRISS Super V patented operating system.
Offering the same acclaimed shootability of its fully-automatic SMG (sub-machine gun) sibling, the new KRISS Vector CRB/SO (Special Ops) is the only semi-automatic firearm that actually helps the operator dramatically improve accuracy in the field or on the range. By re-vectoring the forces of recoil and significantly reducing muzzle climb, the innovative KRISS Super V technology provides a more compact and lighter-weight operating system creating a firearm that can be handled more effectively, more accurately and for longer periods of time, allowing the operator to put more rounds on target more often.
The Vector CRB/SO
will be formally unveiled to the public at the 2008 National Shooting Sports
Foundation SHOT Show, February 1-5, in Las
Vegas, NV.
The
KRISS Vector CRB/SO is an
ATF-approved, 38-state legal (folding stock), 16" barrel semi-auto
firearm, sharing the same milspec frame, Super V operating system, materials
and sturdy housing as the KRISS Vector SMG,
designed for Military and Law Enforcement markets. It also uses the same, easy-to-maintain
Super V mechanism that reduces felt recoil by more than 50 percent and reduces
barrel elevation by more than 95 percent. Non-folding stock and California versions will
follow in mid-2008.
Rugged
and reliable, the Vector CRB/SO remains easy-to-service with an elementary yet
robust mechanism featuring fewer moving parts.
To date, more than 60,000 rounds have been fired through test firearms
without a single major failure. By
providing a compact and lightweight package that re-vectors the forces that
typically cause recoil and muzzle climb, the Vector CRB/SO is a highly
maneuverable, forgiving-to-shoot firearm.
The
KRISS Vector CRB/SO carbine will
be produced in limited quantities only, during first quarter 2008. The products will be available directly from TDI via delivery to regional FFL Dealers, or
through KRISS Certified Dealers.
The KRISS Super V Vector CRB/SO is offered to civilian purchasers in two exciting versions:
- CRB/SO Basic System: Consists of firearm, custom KRISS DC/HM Flip-up Sight System, ForeGrip, full top and bottom Picatinny rails, GripStorage Pod, Slingpoint mount, 2 Glock 21 magazines and custom cleaning kit.
- CRB/SO Tactical System: Consist of all items in the Basic System as well as EOTech 512 holographic sight, Custom single-point sling, Surefire E1E light and GripPod/bi-pod foregrip.
