» The Problem
All traditional machine guns, large and small, share a common problem; they
utilize heavy linear operating mechanisms that deliver recoil forces directly
into the operator’s shoulder. These forces cause the operator to constantly re-
acquire his sight picture due to felt recoil shock and the resulting rotational
muzzle climb. Newton’s 3rd Law; run amok.
In other words, if the point of operating a machine gun is to put lots of rounds,
in a hurry and in a very specific location, why is it that traditional machine
guns, no matter how many tricky buffers, floating barrels, springs and pads
are deployed, all work against the operator’s goal?
Please see the illustration on the back of this page detailing how the KRISS
Super V mechanism works. The KRISS mechanism is simple, rugged, reliable
and easy to maintain.
Simply said, by absorbing and re-directing recoil forces, the KRISS System
provides an absolutely flat operating profile; the firearm stays where you aim
it, even when firing a 230gr. .45ACP round at 1,000 rounds-per-minute in our
KRISS SMG. In US Army tests, the KRISS generates 60% less felt recoil and 95%
less muzzle climb than other competitive firearms.

KRISS Super V System—the only full-auto operating system in the world that
actually works with the operator to help put more rounds on target, more of
the time. Here’s how.

When We Say ‘Double-tap In The Same Hole’ We Mean It.
» The Solution: The Patented KRISS Super V System
With all due respect to Sir Newton, the KRISS engineers have been able to
use his law to the shooter’s advantage.

Unlike any other firearm ever invented, instead of having all the recoil force
slam back into the shooter’s shoulder, causing massive amounts of felt recoil
and resultant muzzle climb, the KRISS System absorbs and redirects these
forces downward and away from the operator thus enabling him to better
control and keep the KRISS firearm on-target. More control equals more Results of KRISS SMG 2-round burst

INSIDE THE
How the KRISS Super V System Actually Helps the Operator
Traditional linear operating systems create forces that actually work against the operator’s ability to put round on-target. These forces create large
amounts of felt recoil and muzzle climb; both of which impair the operator’s ability to keep his sight picture. The KRISS Super V design re-vectors these
forces down and away from the operator and reduces felt recoil by as much as 60% and muzzle climb by as much as 95%! The KRISS Super V System
works with the operator and actually enhances his ability to put more rounds on target, more of the time.
