KRISS USA, formerly known as Transformational Defense Industries or TDI, is an American firearms manufacturer.
History[]
KRISS USA is the American offshoot of the original KRISS Group based in Switzerland.
Products[]
KRISS, when it was under the TDI name, was known for developing the KRISS Super V system, an unconventional delayed blowback system where the bolt and inertia block move downwards into a recess located somewhere in the firearm to help reduce felt recoil. KRISS' products include:
- Vector - Unarguably their most famous product, the Vector has been marketed to militaries and to civilians, the latter in a semi-automatic form.
- K10 - A prototype of the Vector first sighted at the 2011 SHOT Show. The K10 was last seen at the 2013 SHOT Show and has been assumed to be cancelled.
- KARD - A pistol using a slightly different version of the KRISS Super V system currently under development.
- Disraptor - A prototype heavy machine gun using two Super V systems.
KRISS USA is also the importer of Sphinx firearms into the United States.
