My heart stopped beating for a second... It will come this summer! And also the price seems to be OK/fair... however you want to call it....

So it seems they really did copy the Super V design. Wonder if that means it has less recoil than an AEP?

[Samm]

Looks good, still not entirely convinced this isn't another fake version ###### take though

[Grindstone]

New mags, or use old M/G-series 9mm mags? While the realism of .45 mags is nice, there's also those of us with tons of 9mm mags, including extended. It would be nice not having to buy tons more.
But I'm not holding out much hope.

[hitmanNo2]

The extended mags could just use a sleeve for the bottom part. However, I think I read it will have propriety mags. Could be wrong though.

oh so sexy

[Deadmeat]

I have to admit it looks good and is making me more excited!!!

The KWA KRISS Vector is undergoing extensive field-testing, with production and delivery scheduled for this summer.

Getting a strong sense of deja vu, almost as if they were saying the same thing at last year's shot show!

EBB AKs from KWA? Mmmm

Oooooooo found this on the KWA website: http://kwausa.com/community-pages/news/unveiled-kriss/

Video of operation.

Unless KWA hired a CGI crew and found an Allizard stunt double, I think it is real...

Here's a facebook note of all the upcoming sutff (ATP auto, MKV, etc)

"KWA Announces 2012 New Products"

Las Vegas, NV and City of Industry, CA – January 17th, 2012 – This week at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, KWA will be announcing new products that will add to KWA’s extensive line of MIL-SIM and professional training products.

- Revisiting The Past -
For decades, the 1911 style pistol has been legendary among shooters all over the world due to its reliability and ergonomics. KWA will reintroduce an NS2 version of the classic 1911A1 US ARMY, complete with original features found in its introduction as a service pistol for the US military. Both slide and frame are constructed with aluminum alloy and its magazines and internal components interchangeable with KWA’s existing 1911 Mk series magazines. The KWA 1911A1 US ARMY will be released at the end of first quarter. Street Price is expected to be $149.95 and will be available only through KWA Authorized Resellers.

Recognizing growing demand for Eastern European style replicas, KWA will also be releasing the MKV, a GBB version of the legendary 9x18mm Russian service pistol designed by Nikolai Fedorovich Makarov. The single stack pistol features an aluminum alloy slide and frame and has the same field stripping procedures as its firearm counterpart. MKV Street Price is expected to be at $134.95 and will be available only through KWA Authorized Resellers.

- New Additions -
With the recent BATFE approval of KWA’s LM4 PTR design, KWA can now proceed with production and distribution of the series in the United States. Many of today’s military and law enforcement service rifles are optimized for close quarter applications, thus creating the need for a compact training weapon. The upcoming LM4C PTR is the ideal choice with its shorter barrel. Features such as a fully functional bolt catch and realistic field stripping are standard, providing users with a safer alternative to an actual firearm. Street prices for the LM4 PTR Series is as follows: LM4 PTR $384.95, LM4C PTR $379.95, LM4 PTS Magpul Edition $479.95

KWA’s upcoming AKG GBBR series will include the full size AKG-74M as well as an AKG-74SU. The AKG-74SU is configured with a shorter barrel, unique fixed sights, and a side-folding metal stock. Specially designed magazines are included with every AKG rifle, allowing the rifle to be safely dry fired for demonstration purposes. Realistic field stripping and operation make the AKG series the ideal training weapons. The street price for both the AKG-74M and AKG-74SU is $379.95

The ATP has become one of KWA’s best selling and popular pistols due to its simplicity and application as a training pistol for law enforcement and military personnel. To satisfy the overwhelming requests for a select fire variant, KWA will be introducing the ATP Auto. The select fire option gives users the option to either fire in semi automatic or fully automatic. Like the original ATP, the ATP Auto will have modular back straps, accessory rail, and extended slide release. Expected street price is $149.95.

Release dates will be available in the near future.

it looks like it has almost no recoil....

Unsurprising. The KWA mp7 and mp9 have next to zero recoil and this a GBB with a bolt system designed to (on the real steel at least) delay and reduce recoil.

That's like dividing by zero.

I'd be lying if I said I haven't been waiting for this for a long time, but it'll be a lot tougher to justify the purchase with my MP7 sitting around... that and the fact that KWA will probably make it chrono 420 out of the box, ugh.

Glad to see a GBB Makarov on the way.

True, yet it is a GBB. You don't buy a GBB for a lack of recoil, I almost wish it was an AEP (if you know me that's saying a lot). My MP7 has some felt recoil but to be honest the real 4.5mm round dosen't have much recoil, much like the 5.7mm round...

If it had at least the appearance of recoil I would consider it over my MP7, but then again the MP7 is a beast of a weapon.

MP9 no recoil you joking? MP7 joke nothing but the MP9 certainly does!

This is exciting! If the price is $300 im happy.

p.s AEPs suck

You're right. There's a certain irony to them going to such painstaking lengths to replicate the crazy felt-recoil-reducing bolt of the KRISS when recoil is a DESIRED characteristic of GBBs in airsoft.

MP9 no recoil you joking? MP7 joke nothing but the MP9 certainly does!

The MP9 has SLIGHTLY more felt recoil than the MP7, yes, but it's still bottom-tier compared to like, a GHK or even a WOC.

It'll be $399

Felt recoil of a replica emulating a .223/7.62 round vs felt recoil of a smg emulating a pistol caliber round. Maybe the ratio is skewed on the rifle caliber recoil range vs the pistol caliber range...

Just saying.
