Kriss

All traditional machine guns, large and small, share a common problem; they utilize heavy linear operating mechanisms that deliver recoil forces directly into the operator's shoulder. These forces cause the operator to constantly re- acquire his sight picture due to felt recoil shock and the resulting rotational muzzle climb. Newton's 3rd Law; run amok.

In other words, if the point of operating a machine gun is to put lots of rounds, in a hurry and in a very specific location, why is it that traditional machine guns, no matter how many tricky buffers, floating barrels, springs and pads are deployed, all work against the operator's goal?

The engineers at KRISS USA, starting with a clean computer screen and one goal in mind, have solved this century-old problem by creating the patented KRISS Super V System-the only full-auto operating system in the world that actually works with the operator to help put more rounds on target, more of the time. Here's how.

With all due respect to Sir newton, the KRISS engineers have been able to use his law to the shooter’s advantage.

Unlike any other firearm ever invented, instead of having all the recoil force slam back into the shooter’s shoulder, causing massive amounts of felt recoil and resultant muzzle climb, the KRISS System absorbs and redirects these forces downward and away from the operator thus enabling him to better control and keep the KRISS firearm on-target. More control equals more rounds on-target, more of the time.

Please see the illustration below detailing how the KRISS Super V mechanism works. The KRISS mechanism is simple, rugged, reliable and easy to maintain.

Simply said, by absorbing and re-directing recoil forces, the KRISS System provides an absolutely flat operating profile; the firearm stays where you aim it, even when firing a 230gr. .45ACP round at 1,000 rounds-per-minute in our KRISS SMG. In US Army tests, the KRISS generates 60% less felt recoil and 95% less muzzle climb than other competitive firearms.
