KRYTAC KRISS® Vector V2 AEG

If you're into the latest and greatest SMG designs, the KRYTAC KRISS® Vector V2 AEG should be right up your street! This is the second iteration of KRYTAC's incredible AEG Vector, rocking full licenced KRISS trademarks and top-notch KRYTAC internals. Our batch has just landed, but stay tuned for more detailed information in the coming days!

Starting at the front, we can find the KRYTAC Trident flash hider concealing 14mm CCW male barrel threads beneath. This means you can mount a tracer unit or suppressor right away and we all know how great a KRISS® Vector looks with a suppressor!

Moving rearwards, we come to the receiver which is constructed from superb quality high-density polymer. This gives the Vector the perfect combination of low weight and high rigidity and matches the real thing perfectly. As we might expect for a KRYTAC platform licenced officially by KRISS®, we are very well catered for when it comes to trademarks. On each side of the front of the receiver we have a recessed "KRISS" marking, the centre of the receiver features the iconic super-V logo which also appears on the grip baseplate and stock base and the serial number plate is just below the bolt catch, featuring your laser engraved unique serial number. The Vector certainly ticks all the boxes for realistic externals, just like its electrically powered sibling. 

Running along the top of the receiver, we have plenty of 20mm Picatinny rail real estate, ready for your choice of aiming device. You could mount a red dot sight, magnifier and PEQ box to the Vector all at once despite its compact form; a testament to the modern design philosophy applied during the design of the real thing.

On either side, we have threaded holes for mounting additional KRISS Vector 20mm Picatinny rails, just in case the top rail isn't long enough for all your mission essential gizmos. At the 6 o'clock position, we're treated to another built-in 20mm rail, ideally used for a vertical or angled foregrip. Some angled foregrips are too long to mount to this rail, though they can be cut down at the rear as seen in some real steel reference photos.

The charging handle is located on the left side, folding flat against the receiver when not in use but extending considerably when folded out. This is a non-reciprocating charging handle, just like the real thing, avoiding the hassle of limiting your hand placement and allowing the popular C-clamp grip to be used with no smashed fingers. The charging handle needs to be pulled before the first shot, and after a reload you can rack the charging handle with a "power stroke" and bring the Vector back online, or use the functional bolt release catch.

The bolt release/hold open catch is just to the rear of the charging handle, well within reach of the reaction hand for right-handed shooters. The catch is well protected on all sides with a mag release fence moulded into the polymer shell, preventing accidental knocks from inadvertently locking or releasing your bolt. A seesaw-style lever, the front paddle of the bolt release/hold open releases the bolt when locked back and the rear paddle locks the bolt rearward when the charging handle is pulled, just like the real thing.

Below the bolt release/hold open catch we can find the magazine release on the left side of the magwell, a push button design with a textured surface for optimal grip. Like the bolt catch, the mag release is protected with a small fence, sitting slightly recessed inside to prevent mags being dropped as the Vector rubs against your gear. If you're right-handed you'll find the mag catch well positioned for fast access but it can still be used by left-handed shooters with a bit of practice. 

The fire selector lever is ambidextrous, present on each side in the middle of the receiver. This switch controls the fire modes only and does not include a safety function as the safety has its own lever just above the pistol grip. The selector switch offers semi-auto, 2-round burst and fully automatic with a 45-degree throw between each mode. The two-round burst mode is remarkably snappy and satisfying to use, cycling so fast the enemy team won't know what hit them!

While the selector isn't easy to access from a firing grip, it follows the same manipulation style as the legendary Thompson SMG; set the mode you want and leave it alone, using the separate safety lever to lock the trigger when appropriate. The safety lever is very well placed; just above the pistol grip sitting right beneath the shooter's thumb whether they are left or right-handed with an ultra-short 45-degree throw between safe and fire. This safety/selector configuration also has the advantage of preventing the selector from being bumped into full auto accidentally and getting you in trouble with the marshalls!

The pistol grip is an extremely comfortable design, featuring linear texture on the front and rear with crackle textured panels on each side, providing plenty of traction and a comfortable shape for multiple hand sizes. The battery compartment is located inside the base of the grip and accessible with the cap removed. We recommend a 7.4V 600mAh LiPo in PDW stick configuration with a Deans connector for an easy fit. If you're skirmishing all day, we suggest getting two just in case!

At the rear, we have the KRISS® Vector Gen.II side folding stock, offering a small amount of length of pull adjustment for the grippy serrated butt plate via the grub screws on each side of the butt plate and side folding functionality so you can compress the Vector down for close quarters situations. The button to fold the stock is on the left side of the stock base and when folded, the stock locks firmly in place on the protruding lug, meaning you can run around like a bull in a china shop without your stock flopping around. For those who prefer to shoulder their primary at all times, the folding stock has the perk of allowing the Vector to fit neatly into smaller gun bags and hard cases.
