Krytac Kriss Vector AEG Limited Edition

Presentation

The American company Krytac has entered the market relatively recently compared to the major airsoft companies but has quickly impressed airsoft players with high-quality AEG replicas. In this case, it is no different; the presented replica is one of the newest models launched by Krytac and represents one of the most sought-after SMG platforms of the moment, the electric version of the Kriss Vector. Although this platform has been on the market for some time, it was gas-powered, and airsoft players were eager for an electric replica. The real Kriss Vector was conceptualized in 2006 to provide law enforcement forces operating in confined spaces with high but controllable firepower. Most .45 caliber firearms have significant firepower but also considerable recoil. The design of this platform significantly reduces recoil, thus enhancing accuracy. Since 2009, this platform has gradually been adopted, and now multiple military organizations use the Kriss and speak highly of the platform.

Exterior of the Replica

The replica offered by Krytac closely mimics even the smallest details of the real Kriss Vector platform. The Limited Edition version comes with a series of modifications compared to its smaller brother, allowing it to fit seamlessly into the assault class. Unlike its production counterpart, the presented replica uses a one-piece upper receiver. This model features Krytac's new ambidextrous stock, which can be configured to fold to the left or right, adjustable in three positions, and thanks to the sling attachments, it supports a variety of slings. The motor grip is designed with a new cover that increases the battery compartment. The front end is longer than previous versions, allowing the replica to use a longer outer barrel that houses a 280 mm inner barrel, covered by the new handguard equipped with an M-lok system. This attention to detail is largely due to Krytac's roots with the Swiss company that produces Kriss. The body of the replica is made up of three parts made from ABS plastic: the lower receiver, which houses the gearbox and BB BB feeding system; the upper receiver, responsible for fire mode selection and supporting the replica; and the stock, which is foldable and adjustable in length.

Regarding the controls of the replica, they are somewhat ambidextrous. The fire selector, separate from the safety, is located at the front, while the safety is above the supporting grip. Both are ambidextrous. The magazine release button is not ambidextrous, located on the left side of the replica near the magwell. The charging handle is functional and serves to release the ejection port, where the hop-up adjustment is located.

The flash hider of the replica can be removed, allowing for the attachment of a 14 mm negative threaded suppressor. There is a picatinny rail on the bottom and throughout the upper section, allowing for the mounting of a wide range of accessories. There are threaded holes on the sides that will allow for additional rail sections to be mounted. The package includes a classic sighting system that can be adjusted according to trajectory and even folded for use with an advanced sighting system. The options for attaching a sling are somewhat limited; at the back, on the stock, there is a loop that allows for the attachment of limited models of slings with webbing.

Interior of the Replica

Inside, there is something truly wonderful: a vertically oriented gearbox, similar to the firing mechanism of the real weapon, capable of functioning with many standard V2 components. This feature is designed to inspire confidence among airsoft players who wish to modify the internals of the replica. However, there are also components specific to this platform, such as the metal gearbox housing with 8 mm bearings, the cylinder head, nozzle, and tappet plate. The inner barrel has a length of 280 mm and a diameter of 6.05 mm. The hop-up system is adjustable and radial. Its adjustment is precise and stable. The battery compartment is located inside the grip and can accommodate certain 11.1V LiPo batteries, but not longer than 125 mm.

This replica is equipped with an advanced MOSFET and can operate in semi/auto and 2-round burst modes, similar to the real platform. The fire selector is designed to disconnect the battery and decompress the spring when set to safety mode. This means that forgetting to disconnect the battery from the replica is no longer an issue. The replica is capable of firing BBs at a speed of 115-120 m/s using 0.20g BBs. Accuracy and range are good, thanks to the stable hop-up system and precision inner barrel. Let's not forget the bucking that makes all the difference.

Feeding

The package includes a Mid-Cap magazine holding 95 BBs and a set of sights. The replica operates with an 11.1V LiPo battery with a Deans connector, stored in the grip. The package does not include a battery or a charger for the battery. We recommend that along with the purchase of the replica, you consider a specific battery and charger. We recommend using high-quality batteries and BBs. Do not reuse BBs and do not use low-quality batteries and BBs, as this may damage the replica.
