Excellent question. 11.1v is the most common here in US. You don't find many players using 7.4v. UK market is new to us and we do depend on what our distributor told us. If UK legislation said 400+ FPS is allowed then it's a lot easier on us. Actually if you can provide the actual link would be great. It is possible the gun or ANY gun will fire a double shot on SEMI when you paired a high torque motor with a Sub-m120 spring plus high discharged 11.1v lipo. we see it more often here in US as I'd just explained. Especially those people who love to use high C rating batteries from RC hobbyist. The 1st batch of Krytac guns when to UK does have the 30K motor. (20K motor wasn't available at time) and the gun have m105 spring. We know is it very likely a 11.1v lipo will over spin and cause the double shoot. We did included a label with the gun to recommend using 7.4 or 9.6v. See attach pic. With that said, I admit we were a bit ill prepared for the UK market and it's generally unknown territory for us. This is why I begin to visit UK forums and try to get to know more people. So.... let me know if you've got any suggestions. Our position toward airsoft community hasn't changed. All of us in the US office also play airsoft. We just want to make something that fit what the player's want. We are pretty successful in US and in Japan. I think we can do the same for UK and EU. Just give us sometime to hash out the details. For those you like to contact me on Facebook. Just search for Kriss Allen. Allen Lau Product Manager KRISS USA

I wouldn't call the 20k Crap. That's bit unkind. The fact is, we were told by the distributor that 350FPS is the limit in UK so we have to re-tune the gun with m100 spring. Using a strong neodymium magnet motor like the 30K + 11.1v Lipo will cause over-spin with SEMI fire. That is why we installed a standard motor. For the record, the 20k motor can still pull m120 spring respectively. Hey... as least we stopped using that hideous sticker on the stock. I told you we are listening. Cheers.

So I presume I am required to write proper Queen's English here.

Whoa... stop right there. Are you implying KRYTAC is a rebrand?

I'm sorry. Something about Krytac not based on the real gun?! Oh wait...it's the real gun based on the Krytac.

The Krytac plastic flash hider was there because we American are stuck with it. Unfortunately, the Metal one still were not ready when we delivered the 1st shipment. UK/EU should be getting the metal one soon. As for the pistol grip, we are working on several prototypes. The new design pistol grip will share similar ergonomic with the Krytac .22 platform. That's why we don't want to roll out something new without thoroughly researching it. In US market we are already expecting consumer will change out the A2 grip anyway. You will probably see the new grip on the LVOA line that's coming this Fall.

You contacted me on Facebook so I already gave you a reply. I'll reply here as well since it is a valid question. The LVOA is schedule to release this year. US will gave the 1st release and UK/EU will get the next shipment. There is no exact time frame I can gave you except it's around 4th QT. Price point also have not been release yet but given this gun is a Licensed product and the production time is longer than SPR. It will cost more than SPR.

Thanks for the reply and I think your comments will help push forward making Cerakote gun available oversea. You have to forgive us that we don't get the player perspective from outside US very often so logically we form our policy based on what we know.

My name is Allen and I work for Kriss USA. You can find me as Kriss Allen on Facebook. I apologise that you feel Krytac seemingly neglecting the UK market. I like to explain why there are difficulties to deal with custom gun shipping out from US to other regions. For one, US model HAVE TO HAVE ORANGE TIP during transport. That means if you ever get one will have that ugly orange tip coming with the gun. Two, opening the store to oversea force the US operations to build multiple FPS configurations from 1J to 1.7J just for other regions. We are not ready for that.... yet. Three, you will pay a whole lot more shipping out from US vs. shipping from Asia. And most importantly, we can't provide warranty when shipped over sea. Which positive user experience is important to us. That said, I completely understand your point and Krytac should provide more details why we can't do it. I'll probably meet up with Shield PSD sooner or later and I'll bring up making Cerakote gun availability and support issues with them. BTW, the gun ran out of stock in UK simply there are more demands than anticipated. Our factory in Taiwan have to fill multiple regions from Italy, Austria, Switzerland and now Canada is added to the list. Production capacity is maxed out right now. Think of growing pain. I believe another UK shipment should be on the way already. In any case, I welcome any questions and comments. Otherwise, find me on FB, l chat with players all the time. Cheers.

One thing to consider is Krytac doesn't DIRECTLY distributor in UK but through a distributor. So it's the distributor's responsibility to order enough volume for UK market. Besides, I am pretty sure they are doing this cautiously since it's still consider a new brand in UK. So exactly what did you ask Krytac about?

For the record, Kriss only manufactured the Vector in .45 ACP. the 9mm is only a prototype shown this year at Shot Show. I know. I was there. It's more than just an airsoft gun made by real firearms company. Where do you think they have learned about compression, AOE and correct shimming? Some China clone have been making them for years and they haven't learn anything about making them properly. The gearbox gearbox dimension IS standard. You can put it in another brand receiver like VFC. As for the build in Mosfet is just utilizing space that's not use on a Ver.2 platform. But you are right. There is really nothing new except putting all in one gearbox.

Krytac is not new. It's new in UK. However, by end of July is exactly one year since Krytac initial launch in US. Putting marketing aside, perhaps it's worth to look into the history how Krytac is formed and exactly who is behind it. For those who view videos on youtube. There are tons of them by the players and not from any sponsor. Discussion on Reddit etc....
