mmm
hey what's up this is kirsten joy weiss and thank you so much for joining me today
we got a kriss vector to look at and if you notice it's kind of unusual so
many of you may have played with one of these on a video game but how many of
you guys have played with them on the range they are great in hollywood films hollywood
flicks and all sorts of stuff like that but are they good range toys well we're gonna see today
now one of the things about the kriss vector which is
well the most important thing about a kriss vector is the recoil system the recoil management system
and one of the things that is really easy to do with a vector is press this little magazine
release because it's right where the grip is and then the magazine falls out so you
saw that right on camera let's put it back in all right i'm gonna try not to do that again
so the most important thing about the kriss vector is the recoil management system and
what happens in these is this this paddle right here that makes it kind of look like a shark belly
or something like that i don't know it's real funky looking it's innovative in the sense of
most guns throw that recoil back into your shoulder and they tend to rise but with the vector
system the bolt actually throws the energy back through and there's this big square weight system
basically and it throws that down so the energy is actually forced down and then back up instead
of back into your shoulder so kriss says that their recoil mitigation system uses the recoil
energy to work to the shooter's advantage instead of against it i have found this to be true this
was originally made for a submachine gun platform it makes sense because machine guns and any fully
automatic gun has a tendency to walk and rise on that target i have not had a chance to shoot the
submachine version i don't have an issue shooting submachine guns they're very fun as long as you
lean into it correctly but why not improve it and i think that this has the potential to definitely
improve it a lot and make it just way easier to shoot so i'm very curious how this reacts
in full auto but it was modified for the civilian market because we're not allowed to have freedom
so i had to ask myself is it a semi-auto that's just longing to be its bigger brother full auto
as a semi-auto i think it stands on its own yes there's a little bit more weight yes it's big
but i have about a i don't know like a six to eight inch plate down there
and i was able to keep my sights on that without an issue the whole time i mean it really does
mitigate the recoil now if you're shooting slowly i would say that almost any gun's going
to work for you but if you're going to shoot fast in action this is pretty fun little gun
after testing between my angstadt ar15 platform and this which are both pistol
carbine nine millimeters this comes in 45 too, it was actually originally made
in 45 but between those two platforms same caliber
i'm gonna say that this is this is actually easier
to shoot in some ways and harder to shoot in other ways so let me show you
ah so good let's do it gangster style apparently the gangster works real nice
remember subscribe or even bookmark this page because sometimes youtube doesn't like to tell
you guys that a video came out sometimes they don't even notify you when you put the bell on but
try the bell let me know if you get notifications or not and if you'd like to support my channel
make sure more videos like this happen go to the description and check out the links
it was a pretty parallel comparison because my angstadt arms is very easy
to keep on target as well but this was a little bit easier the only thing that held me back a bit
is the trigger because it's a lot heavier than my angstadt's trigger that has a cmc trigger so
it's not really fair to compare the two because it is an aftermarket trigger this is the kriss
vector trigger that comes with it i don't think you can put an aftermarket trigger in there
so i would say that the trigger on this holds you back a little bit it's kind of heavy the reset's
fine it's pretty consistent but it is just a little bit heavier so it's a little bit harder
for me to shoot faster but it's just something also that i think i could just get used to another
thing that i was really curious about was how would this being prone in my head because of how
big this is you wouldn't be able to get as close to the ground as say an ar-15 carbine so if both
of them have standard magazines which one could i get lower to the ground what i found out to my
surprise was that both were very equal because the pistol grip actually gets in the way while there
might be some slight advantage to an ar platform versus the vector they're both pretty similar
as far as ergonomics is actually pretty well balanced a lot of the weight is where you would
expect it in that big old paddle in the front it is pretty heavy it's heavier than my ar-15 carbine
pistol now my angstadt i have a maxim brace on there so that adds a little weight which i wanted
and i balanced it specifically to have that weight but this is out of the box pretty great as well
now you haven't noticed one of the things that i really do not like about this gun is the fact
that check this out so there's a few ways you can hold this in the front you put your hand
right here but then your hand is deathly close to the end of that muzzle with that fireball
so if you're trained well you won't have a problem if you put a hand stop there it's
a really good idea just to make sure that you don't go forward it's not not so good
but this grip here now i have small hands too so the fact that i'm nervous about that
is an issue the other thing is it's not really other than an ambidextrous safety it's not really
a gun for lefties the charging handles on this side is kind of hard to reach over the charging
handle is hard to pull back and function sometimes other times it's fine so there's a little
inconsistency with that maybe it's just mine i don't know but i just found a little bit it's
a lot harder to work than the ar-15 platform but this right here this grip i like to hold it right
here if you're too far up you can get a little blood blister from this bolt release right here
if you're too far down your thumb tends to hit this mag release and it's really easy to hit it
as i've done multiple times in this video already and my mag is full of dust now oh not again
but that is uh that's something i don't really love about it i just put my hand
totally over the mag release and i didn't have a problem while i was
shooting but that's something to be definitely very aware of
now it's nice because it comes up with flip up sights if a gun doesn't come with sights sometimes
i just shoot it initially without sights because what the heck it's fun just to see how it shoots
regardless of sights but it is sure nice when they come with sights because they don't have
to rummage through my boxes trying to find sights for the gun that's that's cool that they do that
the sights are actually quite high compared
to the barrel they claim a very low bore axis the barrel is closer to your hand than your eyes
i prefer my irons a lot closer to my bore ideally but again i didn't have problems shooting it
so i don't want to nitpick too much now this is an extended glock mag it does take
glock magazines which is great because that makes it very versatile proprietary mags suck
one little pet peeve though the safety i feel is not that easy to flip on
it's easy to flip off but it's not that easy to flip on with just my thumb and it could just be
me it could just be how my hands are but i'm not really able to flip it up while maintaining a grip
while i was shooting i didn't really notice a problem because i do it automatically
so when i looked down to make sure that i had the safety on i did have it on already so i must have
switched it but i'm not really sure how i did i'll have to look at the footage later so obviously i
didn't have a problem when i was shooting but luckily luckily that safety is ambidextrous
so all in all the vector is a very good gun and it is very easy to shoot and keep on target
now the downside to this is you could paddle a boat with it um yes it's innovation and i love
i love when companies think outside the box very cool so i'm not going to knock it for that
but it is something to get used to and i'm not so sure how practical it is
but as far as how fun it is if you ever get a chance to shoot a vector i highly recommend it
so thank you so much for joining me aim true and happy shooting
