| Kriss .45 acp rifle
Anybody know anything about these? The guy at the local fun store thinks highly of them. I'd like to get the opnion of some folks that don't want my money. Apparently they use regular GLock .45 acp magazines and are really sturdy and accurate. Comments? Doc |

Interesting, I need to find out more on this. The concept of the same cartridge for the pistol/rifle is always cool. Hope to hear more on this one! Thanks

One of the best SMG's on the market for the caliber. Wait, there aren't too many of those. Anyways. They had them on Future Weapons and the show spoke VERY highly of them. Superbly accurate because of the way the next bullet is cycled into the chamber for firing.

All I know about them is my podiatrist said he bought himself one for Christmas last year.

It's a truly innovative and effective piece of weaponry, but will break the bank for average shooter.

$1600ish at the local shop. The coolest thing to me is that it uses regular Glock .45 magazines. Talk about cross-over flexibility, it uses the same ammo and the same magazine as your sidearm. You could snap a 30 round Glock Mag in there and shoot for a long time before you had to re-load. Effective range is similar to most pistol-caliber rifles, 100-150 yards. These are supposed to be very accurate. The shpo guy also said they are really light and really simple to maintain. The folding stock makes me think you could probably poke it into a BOB or BOV easily. Looks like a butt-ugly but wildly handy close-range shooter.

| I would much prefer your Marlin Camp Carbine over the Kriss. Thing looks like a monstrosity. It doesn't do anything that a good pistol doesn't do at short range other than up a lot of space and be big and clumsy, and at longer ranges the traditional Camp Carbine looks like a better bet.

Actually it does have a special recoil reducing action, and there is supposedly no muzzle rise whatsoever. It is certainly too evil looking to be allowed in CA. I still dream of a .45 carbine someday...

I think the original purpose was as an SMG, not a semi-auto fun gun. I am sure it would be pretty fun in semi auto, but it wouldn't have much of an advantage over a regular .45 pistol. It is much better served as a full auto for room clearing me thinks.
