The KWA KRISS Vector at the KWA Performance Industries booth was pretty much the first stop for anyone who calls themselves a legitimate Shot Show 2012 Airsoft media correspondent.

Of course, I was one of the first in the world to get a one-on-one look at the Airsoft KRISS prototype inside KWA's private meeting room. This was just minutes after meeting not only Kyle Lamb, CEO of Viking Tactics, but also former Magpul CEO & current owner of Haley Strategic Partners, Travis Haley. So naturally, I was feeling like a pretty big winner.

The gun will feature a 50-round green gas magazine, a functional brass-check feature, which, on the Airsoft version, will be for checking to see whether a BB has been chambered or not. The Vector will also feature a small storage compartment inside the pistol grip, along with a mixture of metal parts and polymer parts to comprise the KRISS's solid frame. The internal parts, which are also featured in the video, will function very similarly to the actual KRISS Super V system, with a vertical action rather than the traditional horizontal action found in pretty much all other firearms & Airsoft replicas alike.

Taken from the KWA press release: “The KWA KRISS Vector GBB is the exclusive training counterpart to the .45 ACP KRISS Vector submachine gun and mimics every feature found in the firearm, including the patented KRISS Super V system. Law enforcement and military professionals will appreciate the authentic replication of the external controls down to the field stripping procedures. The gun is undergoing extensive field-testing, with production and delivery scheduled for this summer. Street price for the Vector is expected to be below $400.”

To be honest, this thing has me worn out on excitement. I’m probably not going to get excited about it again until it’s actually released and I can actually field one. But it was certainly a breath of fresh air to get my hands on an extremely impressive prototype.
