Kriss Vector CRB Carbine: The Bastardized Submachine Gun

About this video

Colion reviews the Kriss Vector CRB, a semi-automatic civilian carbine version of the Vector submachine gun chambered in .45 ACP. He describes his experience shooting the gun, praising its unique recoil system, fast trigger, and ergonomics, while critiquing the 16-inch barrel as a significant limitation that reduces maneuverability. Colion argues the barrel length requirement stems from restrictive NFA laws, and he believes the gun would perform much better in SBR (short-barreled rifle) form.

Key takeaways

  • Colion finds the Vector CRB’s recoil system uniquely soft and linear, with most weight positioned toward the rear for better balance than its appearance suggests
  • According to Colion, the 16-inch barrel is a major drawback that makes the gun awkward to maneuver and run with, especially compared to what an SBR version could offer
  • Colion recommends adding a vertical foregrip to avoid accidentally engaging the bolt catch, and notes the magazine release could be faster for speed reloads
