Aa’s french contributor, Diane Montagnier, knows a thing or two about airsoft weaponry but even she was perplexed when she read about a mysterious version of this well-known plastic-chucker.
AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY, I read a strange and curious article on Popular Airsoft blog and different other Asian airsoft blogs and websites. All talked about a Kriss Vector AEG, that was not a Krytac or an A&K. At that time, I was really puzzled by this airsoft gun. What was it? No information, no way to order this replica. Finally, I had forgotten the idea to own this mysterious airsoft gun when suddenly… It appeared to me in a French shop! Immediately, I ordered one! I was my last chance to discover this mysterious and rare AEG.
This “Kriss Vector” is called (or manufactured by?) “Coyote G2”. It is delivered in an ordinary cardboard box and inside there is also 2 magazines, a short mag (55 bbs) and a long mag (125 bbs). A 4 page manual is showing very summarily how to install the battery, how to set the hop-up and other minor information. A tubular bb loader, a cleaning rod, a foldable grip and mechanical sights are provided.
The main mystery is about the marks. Indeed, there is some “Kriss” and “Vector” marks on the body, but the more surprising information is about the Glock marks on the mags! I can imagine that the manufacturer didn’t care about the license with Kriss Vector and Glock, and it is probably why the manufacturer is still unknown.
The external is very clear, plastic burrs are missing. The stock and the body are made of polymer. They look very strong. Only the flash hider and the rails are made of metal. It’s possible to fix a 14mm CCW silencer.
