Must-See Advanced Weaponry To Launch
At 2008 SHOT Show in Las Vegas

Transformational Defense Industries, Inc. (TDI) announced today that it will formally launch the new and improved KRISS Super V Vector SMG .45 ACP (sub machine gun) at the 2008 National Shooting Sports Foundation SHOT Show, February 1-5 in Las Vegas. Created for special operators in qualified military and law enforcement units, the SMG hits the marketplace with more than 50 improvements to its original design, clearly justifying its dual designation as the “Best SMG Ever” by Guns and Weapons Magazine and “The Close Quarter Battle Weapon of Choice” by the Discovery Channel’s Future Weapons program.

By re-vectoring the forces of recoil and significantly reducing muzzle climb, the innovative KRISS Super V patented technology provides a more compact and lighter-weight operating system creating a weapon 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.

Key benefits which make the SMG .45 ACP a superior weapon include:

• Reduced muzzle climb: The KRISS Super V redirects the forces that cause traditional weapons to rotate vertically reducing muzzle climb by as much as 95 percent versus other SMGs.
• Reduced Recoil: The KRISS Super V technology and unique design approach reduces felt recoil by as much as 50 percent when compared to traditional SMGs.
• Increased Durability and Deployability: The robust design of the KRISS Super V operating mechanism results in a highly-reliable and rugged weapon that performs exceptionally well over time in any type of environment.

With a shift in military and law enforcement missions from traditional battlefields to increasingly mechanized and urban/close-quarter battle environments, the SMG .45 ACP is clearly the “weapon of choice,” providing a light, highly maneuverable weapon that can clear a room quickly and safely (with no danger of collateral damage) while maintaining accuracy in stand-off encounters at up to 100 meters.

Not only can the operator gain greater effect from his shooting, but his ability to keep the weapon in-service has been addressed by a simple mechanism that is not only easy to learn, but markedly easier to field strip and clean than any other mechanism. This also means shorter training cycles, longer retention of the operator's efficiency along with higher operational availability of weapon and operator and lower operating costs.
