KRISS

[Strange]

i think this is preety cool... directing the recoil downwards. i know its very ugly, but that is not the point. it must feel and shoot beautiful, no? wonder what would result if we marry this mechanism to a assault rifle platform, should be kick ass...

The Kriss is HOT.

I was looking into it recently-

Don't know anymore than what's on the sites, but I like it.

yeah, i think its real sweet... the mechanical action. of course recoil cannot be eliminated completely, but i wonder if venting the propellent gas upwards from the barrel will make the gun even more controllable... like i say... sweet

quote comment:
"All great comments. Many people have thier prefferences about 9mm because of the higher magazine capacity. Some of you prefer 10mm and .40 because of higher velocity. And I agree, shot placement is great if you have the time to make it. But take it from a retired Houston cop. It is all about stopping power. If you don't believe me, ask the LAPD officers that were involved in the bank heist in L.A. about ten or fifteen years ago. They were all carrying 9mm and they could not take down the bad guys. They lost three officers that day because they were outgunned.

In 1982 my partner and I answered a call to a liquor store robbery. When we pulled up the guy was just exiting the store. He turned and started shooting at us with a .30 cal carbine. He had us pinned behind our patrol car. I dove to the ground and placed one shot with my Colt .45ACP into the only thing I could see. His legs. I hit him and he went straight to the ground. The shot to his shin bone hit with such force that it broke is hip. Now that's stopping power. (Your 9mm won't do that!) My partner about a year later hit a guy in the hand and wrist with his .45 Commander and it almost tore the guys arm off. They had to amputate it. Again, it is all about stopping power.

I say bring it on and issue one to every law enforcement officer in the country.

"ask the LAPD officers that were involved in the bank heist in L.A. about ten or fifteen years ago. They were all carrying 9mm and they could not take down the bad guys. They lost three officers that day because they were outgunned."

They ran down the steet to a gun store and "borrowed" AR 15's from the civilan shop owner's to fight off the robbers it was not a great day for the LAPD- where was swat???

45 ACP is a great round I like it alot- but not a death ray- a HK MP 5 in 10 MM would be just as if not more nasty with the right rounds.. The recoil of a 45 is not that bad- much less than a 357 IMO and much more EZ to shoot quickly.

The Kriss is cool weapon new and revolutionary? well maybe- how about a contest? like to see what it could do against a expert Thompson gunner with a 50/100 RD drum
WTH is Roland when you need him??

Nice weapon for sure- fun to see it- good find Strange
