You mean, so you can shoot yourself in the foot?
<}B^)
Repositioning the revolver barrel from the traditional 12 o’clock position to the six o’clock for less muzzle flip.
This Kriss gun is interesting, and cool that it’s in .45, but it looks to me like durability would be a major factor. When you’ve got the bolt turning corners, there’s going to be a lot of wear.
I am not a lawyer. I watched the video on "utube" [sic].
Any one that watches the video sees that the shooter is pushed straight back just as Mr. Newton suggests. There is no "re-vectoring" just a gimmick to sell stuff to gullible folks (like yourself).
Travis, I do agree with the advantages of .223 over carbines or shotguns, but many in LE have the unfortunate circumstance of shooting each other. There is an over penetration threat inside buildings (and police vests) and a lack of it for vehicles. I think department have to really consider their use in the field. Urban areas favors carbines while rural areas may require more range from a .223.
I can see the pros and cons from a LEA POV, but for me, I’d prefer to have a .223 handy. Pref w/ optics.
I would like to see this technology incorporated into a relatively lightweight 38 cal. pistol. I can’t find one that my wife and daughter can handle.
Apparently, you can’t invest in the company.
All good if you live in the middle of nowhere with no neighbors within 6 kilometers. Not so practical in the average suburb where your next door neighbor’s outer wall is 15 feet from yours.
Too bad the average Joe will never be able to legally own one.
I saw that too. IMHO, this thing will knock the MAC right out of the market. Virtually zero muzzle rise and almost zero lateral recoil. Cripes, it's phenomenal! My only real regret is that none of the great unwashed masses will be able to afford them or even if we could, the current idiotic law on class III will prevent their purchase. I don't see that one being rescinded by anybody who could hope to win the White House among the 'Pubbies and of course no one among the RATs.
A pistol round will also reach your neighbor’s house. Penetration of wall material by a .223 isn’t much more than hipower pistol slug. In any case, you have to hit what you’re aiming at.
I want one of those puppies.
But I'm only a mere taxpayer, citizen, and military veteran, so they are verboten for me.
I wasn't able to run down the actual weight of a Blackhawk long barrel in same caliber but sounds like the Kriss is a decent trade off.
The trick downward motion of the bolt might approximate the reduced weight (to same result) and, since there is a fore grip on the piece, one handing it should not be an issue. (Stability for one reason, economy of motion / facilitating even a quick aim, for others)
I'd rather see a reduction in rate of fire - that would improve on a lot of potential complaints as well as logistical and tight tactical situations.

My wild guess is you get less accuracy with this “Deal” but you spray more so hit more. I have not yet read comments but that’s my guess .... No free lunch
Nope... Not unless you're a dealer licensed for sale to law enforcement, or a LE agency. Due to the "Firearms Owners Protection Act" no weapons capable of automatic fire that were manufactured after 1986 are legal for civilians to own. Which is the main reason for the outrageous prices they're getting for "pre-ban" full auto weapons.
