The Kriss
Super V submachine gun was developed by Transformational Defense
Industries (TDI). It's name comes from Indonesian sword or large
knife.
It is a
delayed-blowback operated, selective fire weapon, which fires from
the closed bolt. The Kriss Super V is chambered for .45 ACP
ammunition. It is also available in .40 S&W. The Kriss Super V uses
a patented operating system, which reduces recoil and muzzle climb.
It absorbs and redirects the recoil force downwards, thus improving
overall weapon control. Developers claim that this submachine gun
generates 60% less felt recoil and 95% less muzzle climb than
contemporary designs. The Kriss can be fired single-handedly with
adequate accuracy. This SMG has an effective range of about 100
meters. Weapon can be easily field-stripped just with removal of two
push-pins.
An
ambidextrous fire mode selector has settings for semi-auto,
two-round burst and full-auto. It is located about the middle of the
upper receiver. A separate ambidextrous safety switch is located
above the pistol grip. Cocking handle is located on the left side of
the receiver. It folds over, when not in use and does not
reciprocate when the gun is fired. Spent case ejection window is
located on the right side.
The Kriss
Super V is fed from the standard 13-round Glock 21 magazines.
Optional extension kit provides 30-round capability. Magazine
housing is located in front of the pistol grip.
This weapon
has a full-length Picatinny-type rail on top of the receiver. It
accepts detachable iron sights or a variety of sighting devices,
such as red-dot sights.
This SMG
comes with a side-folding polymer buttstock. Another accessory rail
is mounted below the barrel and is compatible with laser pointers,
vertical grips, tactical flashlights and other accessories. Two
additional rails can be installed on either side of the receiver.
