After the DeSoto Police Department had their hand on the KRISS Vector and H&K UMP, the Firearms Blog then have the Dallas Sheriff's SWAT Team check these .45 SMGs even if they were not familiar with these. Still their discipline and training came to fore as they immediately started making accurate shots as soon as they were allowed to go play with their toys.

If you follow real steel stories so you can relate these to your airsoft guns, you might want to check this good story now at The Firearm Blog where they brough some .45 SMGs to a Texas PD Training (DeSoto PD). A comparison of the KRISS Vector GBB and the Heckler and Koch UMP, this should be good reading and this is only part 1.

Time for the weekend updates from Airsoft Extreme. Perhaps you may have heard it earlier this week that AEX will be reopening their San Diego store will be reopening at a new location tomorrow, 16th of November with details shown in the image above. They also are now taking pre-orders of the KWA KRISS Vector GBB in FDE and have in stock items from GoPro, their own AEX brand, TMC, Maple Leaf, and SKDTac. More of these below.

With the expectation of a tan version of the KWA KRISS Vector GBB arriving soon and with sample units already in, Airsoft GI looked into having a 2-tone version by mixing the upper and lower parts from both the sample Tan KRISS and the black KRISS that they have in stock. Now, they want your opinion if you want to get a two version. They look pretty good enough for us to take both and four different looks, if you get what we mean.

Word has reached us that Tim Seargeant, formerly of Airsoft GI, has finally reached his next stop in his career --- joining KRISS Arms. We cannot confirm yet if he'll be helping out in the Airsoft Division, which is handled by Defiance Airsoft of the same company from Switzerland or will be focused in KRISS USA's real steel market.

King Arms sent in notice that their Power Up Carbon Fiber Silencer for KWA KRISS In Stock now. Interested resellers and distributors can contact them for bulk purchases... "These 16mm+ thread Power Up Carbon Fiber Silencers are made from high quality carbon fiber and layers of durable frosted clear coating have been applied on top to achieve the wonderful finishing and protection. They are also extremely lightweight so it will not affect the user's mobility.

We already know about this product from King Arms but now they have a video of the Carbon Fibre Silencers made for the KWA KRISS Vector Gas Blowback SMG. Since most of the silencers made for airsoft guns are usually barrel extensions, the same is true for these. And as always with extended barrels, an increase in muzzle velocity can also be expected as shown by the short video.

Finally in stock at EB Airsoft is this taclight from Night Evolution tht can be fitted at the front end of the KWA KRISS Vector GBB (if you can still find one). The light is US CREE Q2 with 180 lumens of brightess, it is powered by 1 CR123A battery which is not part of the package, but a remote pressure switch is included. Made of aerospace aluminium, this costs US$59.90, shipping costs already included.

The Tominator puts together all the bits of information learned from KWA during the SHOT Show 2013 into what you can expect from the company this year... "Ah yes. It seems like KWA always has an Ace up their sleeve. Last week, for those of you that didn't know, was one of my favorite events of the year: Shot Show 2013. It went down, as usual, in Las Vegas, Nevada, and while I was there, I stopped by the KWA booth to see what was new and exciting for 2013.

Whilst we all wait for the eventual release of the much anticipated KRISS Vector Gas Blowback Airsoft SMG being made by KWA, KRISS Arms launched their KRISS-USA website, taking over the online functions from TDI, the original owner of the KRISS Vector real steel weapon. The website features the civilian version and clicking on the "shop" section you  get to their online store to see all the accessories and packages they are selling which you can use with the KRISS.
