"This is single-handedly my favorite airsoft gun I own
I won this at Airsoft Palooza so I can't say anything to the price but the reliability is pretty perfect. It does have some issues with cool down but you can get an HPA drum for it.
PROS
Well built
Runs well
Consistent
good materials
good controls
CONS
There is some light modding that needs to be done to the recoil system (watch Explosive Enterprises video)
Not super efficient on gas
Its based off the .45 ACP vector so it will not take other 9mm mags and also needs bigger pistol mag pouches.

"Purchased this replica on day one and have played with it ever since. If you're more into the milsim aspect like I am, the only con is that the magazine holds closer to 60 rounds rather than the 30-40 IRL.
The blowback feels so lifelike and is amazing to experience in the heat of battle. And it's rare enough to steal the show at the chrono range. Speaking of chrono, mine shoots reliably at 330 almost every time, making it the perfect CQB weapon.

"First full auto gun I ever got, I love it! It works wonderful but sometimes the gas leaks too fast, it might just be the gas cans running out, but oh well.
by David B. on 12/25/2024
"I've always wanted a Kriss Vector and now I got one! Feels like the real thing, very customizable and best of all it's gas blow back making almost as good as the real thing.
Pros:
High cap magazine (GBB).
Stylish.
Accurate.
Cons:
Magazines don't seem to manage gas very well. On a full loaded magazine you might need to refill the gas.
Needs some sort of speed loader.

"What up peeps, I bought the precision package when they first offered it and let me tell y'all this thing beamsssss people it's crazy how accurate and efficient it is I definitely recommend!
by Hansen L. on 09/28/2024
"First, let’s clarify what’s included in the package for me (other than the SMG itself, msg, and manual): there’s one additional rail segment which you could attach on the 6 or 9 o’clock side, flip-up sights (not pre-installed), and YES, the thread protector is included as of this time (I didn’t need it anyways but it’s nice to have).
Taking about the Vector itself, externally, it’s simply fantastic. The only wobble is the mag (just a tiny bit. I was absolutely not bothered by this, no sarcasm here), other than that, have fun airsofting with this: Realistic and sturdy.
FYI: According to the manual, it looks like you can also adjust the stock length.

"First GBBR from being a strictly hi capa guy, and I love it. Easy to maintain due to how simple it is to disassemble. Throw on a laylax grip and mag release this thing will feel snug in the hands. Definitely a conversation starter too! My only gripe is how difficult it currently is to get extra magazines, we gotta wait until July. The magazines also tend to freeze up if you are hot on the trigger and the mag gets too cold
by Patrick V. on 02/13/2024
"Fantastic gun, Works well and chronos at .95 J with .3 bb. Sound is amazing! Only slight problem I had with it is it comes without enough lubrication to play a full day. About halfway through the day, the Airnozzle was getting stuck in the bolt assemble. Im sure that after lubricating this area, I will perform as intended.
Overall, great gun!
Overall, great gun!

"I got mine the 1st week of January and by far a blast very gas efficient well balanced and great for cqb. It is a very affordable gbb 400 for the gun and 109 for the 3 pack of mags not bad

"I LOVE THIS GUN and I have yet to even shoot it, the main reason i’m making this review is because I just wanted to let y’alp know my first impressions in case you’re wanting to buy one. i’ll update once I have a chance to use it in a game.
Enclosed within the box is actually really clean and nice packaging you receive
- Kriss vector
- 60 round mag x1
- thread protector (14mm neg.) x1
- Back up iron sights (front and back) x2
- Side rail x1
- allen wrench x1
It’s really solid but it has it’s quirks when it comes to build quality.
Pros
- Solid build and no wiggle without magazine
- The parts that are polymer are very high quality but it’s from kyrtac after all
- foldable stock
- decently heavy but not as bad as a rifle (could be a con if you aInT wOrKeD a DaY iN yO lIfE)
- Uh, it’s a GBB vector I mean c’mon
Cons
- some of the pins holding the upper and lower just slide, they don’t seem threaded or screwed in. They seem easy to lose during a game.
- The charging handle and button to fold the stock are stiff, probably need breaking in.
- The only thing I hate about the vector is the magazine release which is awkwardly placed
- No cupholder or cigarette lighter :(
UPDATE
Okay, after finally getting to use it at a field (Battlelab) I still really love it! But I have a few notes.
Stiffness
The previously mentioned stiffness to the gun still remains even sfter using it all day, HOWEVER i’ve grown to love it because it’s very obvious which to tell which fire mode you’re on compared to other guns like the ARP-9 or any of my other guns for that matter, and honestly even though it’s a little stiff it definitely broke in and became more of a smoother and snappy feel rather than stiff.
A BIG NO NO
It only happened once but while the ref was cronoing the gun whenever he depressed the magazine release the gun would discharge if the safety was still off. I could not replicate it HOWEVER i believe it was because there was too little gas inside the magazine because after it was crono’d (320 ish with .20’s btw) I filled more gas and on field it never malfunctioned like that on me, so looking past that 1 hiccup that probably could’ve taken someone’s eye out, the mags aren't bad. (No I don’t believe that it was the ref’s fault I think it was the gun bein’ funky)
The Vector’s shape
Okay c’mon even vector fans have to admit that the shape of the vector is something to get used to. If you going to buy this gun being used to M4s or AK this might be a little difficult to get used to, for some reason the control surfaces remind me of the Thompson because of the safety and fire selector. I have to admit I’d accidentally turn the safety on while trying to shoot because of my hand placement, but after some practice and trial by fire I learned to correct that habit.
The Grease and Lubrication
For only using it once, I was disappointed HOWEVER Krytac usually makes AEGs so I understand the crappy lubrication job. It was still usable but once my new set or grease and silicon oil comes in I’ll be re-lubing it. To go into more detail I feel as though they either didn’t use enough grease or it got dirty before they shipped it to me. A friend had the same issue with theirs. Take down of the gun is super easy so dw about that part. My advice if you’re gunna be minimalistic about it at least grease the bolt.
The Sound
HOLY FUCK EARGASM. It sounds so powerful when you shoot it while aiming down the sights. Especially at an indoor field that is my JAM.
The Performance
Look, for most indoor fields it’ll shoot too hot for full auto unless you use heavier bbs. Which I’ve considered but I need to do more research on if it hurts more, because if it does it’s not worth it to me if I’m gunna leave someone with a nasty welt. It shoot STRAIGHT and consistent (granted I played indoors where the furthest target was like 30 feet but who uses a smg outdoor) it almost rivaled my AEGs it was so good :).
Final thoughts
This is gotta be my new favorite gun.
Ease of use: 7/10 (Because of the vector platform not because of performance)
Fun factor: 10/10
Out of the box: 9/10
Part availability: 4/10 (as of January 6th 2024)
Overall 5 stars I love the performance but it needs a little love and attention like most ggbrs

"So far it's good the quality is decent and gas efficiency is above expected. Unlike other krytacs it doesn't come with a second flash hider just the big ugly orange one that's glued and pinned in place with a small hex key screw. The mags sit nicely but there is a slight wiggle but don't notice unless you manually wiggle the mag. I'm consistently shooting at .9j with .30 bbs. And 294 fps. Great for indoors and cqb. I own the kwa version as well and it doesn't kick as hard as the kwa but for gas efficiency and parts availability it's a won.

"I have owned this for a month and have shot it every day. I've put over 5k rounds through it and have modified it where needed. Please read on if you intend to field this weapon in a cqb environment.
-initial thoughts: OOB, it was a reliable shooter. I did not do anything to this gun right away. It shot reliably for the first 100-200 rounds I put through it, so that's all I can say about OOB.
-what I upgraded: Hop up bucking, bowmaster piston head, 6.03mm precision barrel.
These simple upgrades introduced tighter tolerances, which made the shots feel a bit smoother.
-recent troubles: the metal on metal...ouch. It grinds hard. Highly recommend using gun grease on the outside of the bolt for the rails where it rides, and gun oil IN the bolt itself. I had a BOW MASTER CNC Aluminum Loading Nozzle Set in the bolt; however, metal-on-metal in this configuration and how the metal is constructed leads to shearing and grinding of the metal that causes massive friction. You WILL need to lube after every 5 mags or so.
-how its working now: after my upgrades and recent fix (bowmaster nozzle spring SNAPPED due to friction, keep her lubed) it has functioned flawlessly. I just put the bow master piston head in the stock piston and it seems to really like that and feels smooth in the action and sends BB's down range consistently. its actually locking to the rear now too. I have fielded it 7 times in a CQB environment and had 70% success rate. A lot of that 30% failure was due to improper maintenance, due to thinking these things are like real weapons. They are not. They need a lot of care.
Accuracy: I'm not shooting past 25 yards at a human target. purely because it's not going to reach out and touch someone consistently at that range. It's comparable to any gbbr with a 120mm barrel.
Magazine efficiency: Not terrible. I reload my gas after every mag. You could probably get 2 if you're lucky.
Magazine durability: Garbage. Trash. Dog, you know what. I loaded a brand new mag one time, and the base plate exploded from putting it in the replica. wrap it in duct tape (keep it black to not look trashy) so it doesn't explode on you before you ever even shoot it.
Replica durability: astonishing. I dropped it twice, once from a slippery glove at 6 inches and once barrel down due to a sling malfunction. survived both drops. It is solid and has minimal wiggle in the stock. the reciever is solid as you could hope for.
Bottom line: Less of a project gun than most. The piston is a known problem, so be prepared to replace that (easy fix). The screws and hardware are relatively solid, and don't seem to strip easily if youre using the right tool for the job. Keep it lubed VERY WELL all..the..time. 'Tis not real steel. Wow factor is there, it's a Kriss. Overall i'd recommend this to someone ready to spend around 8-900$ to get it field-ready (with 3 extra mags, optic, internal upgrades, etc)
PS: the Bow Master CNC Steel Slider Assembly makes it shoot incredibly unreliably on single. will only turn the gun into an unreliable burst or full auto gun with zero benefit. do not buy it.

"I got one of these a little while ago and initially was very impressed by how well it shot when I fielded it for the first time, however by the end of the day it was occasionally misfeeding and it wasn’t gas efficient at all after another probably 500 shots it wouldn’t feed at all, this was due to the top of the bolt being too sharp and wearing down the top of the nozzle so it can be pushed up by the mag, however after fixing this problem and installing a better sealing nozzle piston and shortened buffers from blackvariable and smoothing out the rails that the bolt rolls along the gun runs flawlessly.
Tldr the krytac vector gbb is a decent gun ootb but without doing a couple easy mods it won’t stay that way, I highly recommend that anyone considering buying this should watch explosive enterprises review before buying

"Got one for Christmas and I absolutely love it. Shoots great and very reliable as long as you maintain it i.e. keep it oiled. Only thing I found a little disappointing was no black muzzle brake included :(
