KRISS USA, headquartered in Chesapeake, Virginia, makes one of the most recognizable firearms of the modern era: the Vector. Its signature Super V recoil-mitigation system redirects the bolt's energy downward rather than straight back, dramatically reducing muzzle climb and felt recoil — a genuinely novel approach in a market full of conventional designs.
The Vector is offered across the full range of NFA and non-NFA configurations — carbine, SBR, and pistol — and in a variety of calibers from 9mm up to .45 ACP and 10mm. Its futuristic styling and soft-shooting character have made it a favorite among enthusiasts, while the DMK22 brings the platform's look to an affordable .22 LR trainer.
For shooters who want something genuinely different — and remarkably controllable — KRISS occupies a category all its own.
