This is intended to reduce muzzle climb when combined with the off-axis bolt travel, though it also greatly raises the sight line in comparison to the bore axis. When fired, the barrel axis is in line with the shoulder as in the M16 rifle, but also in line with the shooter's hand. The theory is that at the end of this travel, the energy is transmitted downward rather than rearward, thus reducing the felt recoil. The Vector uses an articulated mechanism referred to as the "Kriss Super V", which allows the bolt and an inertia block to move downward into a recess behind the magazine well. KRISS Vector CRB Generation 1 with the stock folded, and standard barrel shroud (not a functioning suppressor) These appear to have replaced the K10 prototypes, though no features from the K10 were carried over.

These feature a redesigned pistol grip, trigger, safety selector, and compatibility with a new 9×19mm lower. Kriss announced "Gen II" versions of the original Vector models in 2015. The K10 was not displayed after SHOT Show 2013 and its status is unknown and likely has been canceled. Other notable differences were a new telescoping stock instead of a folding one, and a four-sided accessory rail tube around the barrel. This also brought a redesign of the charging handle, which now travels diagonally, almost vertically, and can be mounted on either side of the weapon. 45 ACP by mounting different lower receivers. The main difference is a redesign of the lower receiver intended for easy caliber interchangeability utilizing just a single takedown pin, users can change between 9×19mm. It is a slightly more compact version of the Vector that is based on the same Super V system. The second generation prototype of the Vector, called the K10, was announced at 2011 SHOT Show. The name Kriss comes from a Southeast Asian dagger with a flame-shaped blade. It was an experimental weapon under advanced stages of development at that time. In the spring of 2007, TDI announced their development of a new submachine gun. KRISS Vector SMG on a shooting range at the 2010 SHOT Show They use an unconventional delayed blowback system combined with in-line design to reduce perceived recoil and muzzle climb, invented by French engineer Renaud Kerbrat.
