That folding SMG is incredible! I would LOVE to own one, even if it is restricted it would be alot of fun to have. Bring that to the range and its sure to turn heads when you fold it out 
Is it using any system of FCG of prohibited weapons? as in it will never make it to the country?
What is it called?

i got an email responce from magpul that they believe bushmaster is going to try and get into the candian market
personaly... out of the ACR SCAR XCR.
i am putting my money on the massada fn has some great products that are non restricted in canada. they are banned from US export will that happen to the SCAR... it's the US militarys new special forces weapon what do you think. the XCR well we saw what happend with the M96 rifle that got canceled to make the XCR... the SCAR was selected on a technicality out of 9 entrants cause it was the only one who passed the first stage of tests is it the best rifle out of those 9 rifle's we don't know i know that they're are 3 rilfes that share very similar charicteristics and features comming onto the market right now one of them one the compition.
PS masada 308 where's my lu... lol damn i want i wonder if they're will be coversion kits for .243 for varmint hunters would love a modern semi auto military satled rifle in 308 woulds be allota fun for deer hunting playing comando and all hooah

Huh??
Is that done to make it exportable by the US gov't or they think that we can't have weapon that have "cool" features?

all firearms for export need to be in "ban" configuration.
These are required by the US State Dept to meet the criteria of a Exportable Firearm
That some big-ass bag you got there, Colin!
The KRISS is an interesting design, the way it re-directs the recoil downwards.
One thing that is kind of odd is the safety is a separate switch from the auto/2 round burst/single shot selector. In the video, you can see me switch the gun to full, then realize I also have to set it to Fire position.
Man, does 13 rounds sure go quick!

While I appreciate the KRISS as an exercise in engineering, can you please provide us with some thoughts/insight of its use as a firearm it is marketed to be(a CQB weapon).
The whole changing vector buffer seems to be rather clumsy as a design in my opinion simply for the fact that the buffer system takes so much space of the firearm itself.
How easy is it to field strip and clean the system(particularly that buffer area)? For current overseas use, it would seem like a cumbersome thing for what essentially is another SMG...in a big design with a rather short barrel. It would seem that a short AR could serve just as handy and offer far more modularity.
For security work the KRISS might find uses I suppose. I suspect however that übergeil guys with superblack sunglasses, square jaws and crewcuts aren't wussies who complain about MP5 recoil and need something like a lower recoil KRISS.
Besides, who would want to carry that if they could carry Magpul's retro folding transformer glock variant?
The "light" and "heavy" versions (to steal terminology from the FN SCAR) are different guns.
You need 1 gun with two each of:
lower,
barrel assembly,
bolt
to shoot 223 and 7.62X39
And another entire gun to shoot 7.62X51
If it comes in under 24, I'll buy you a drink. No economies of scale, like a currently fielded arm from a large national army would generate.
Assembly and dissassembly of the buffer is actually simple.
Two Push pins (From an HK) allow for removal of the buffer and bolt system through the "floor" of the Kriss.
An additional two push pins (same HK pins) separate the upper (Hammer/Trigger/Safety/Fire Selector) and lower (Barrel/Mag Well/Buffer & Bolt Guide) halves.
Actual field stripping is simple and the whole design (Without the fugly stock) is actually fairly compact (albeit still fugly). The plus side of it is that it uses .45 ACP Glock Mags. The 30+ rounder uses a MagPul designed extention.
I found the two round burst to be very controllable and at 7 yrds my shots were roughly 1/2 an inch apart. It does work on a cam system however and so depending on the number of shots previously taken the initial 2 round burst setting could be sent to deliver a single shot which is a flaw IMHO. I didn't mind the completely separate safety/fire selector levers it was a new design of which there is nothing comparable (That I have shot before anyways).
Interesting features of the design I noticed was the "upsidedown" hammer arrangement in the upper half. All of the trigger mechanisms, selectors and cams are located in the upper half. The incorporated press check feature of the charging handle is quite interesting but in a rush you could eject a live round quite easily.
Thanks for the detailed insight.
Again, interesting design. Having looked at the design further, I see that as you mention, HK type pins are used. I would think that in most modern applications self-retaining pins would be the no brainer choice.
I see now how the whole cantilever buffer system is attached and still reckon it is a relative large unit for the entire system. The overall package seems reasonable but all current standard offerings of SMGs are not big either.
One thing that isn't so hot (for me) is the relative short barrel for the overall size. For the standard system, the barrel isn't really much longer than a regular pistol(albeit that is the same as many SMGs).
I would like to see how environmental conditions affect it though(sand-grit-crud, mud, etc). I would also like to see one of their representatives do some IA and RA drills.
I guess I'm just more keen on the idea of AR pistols and short carbines.

Pfft. Just stick an MP5K in that sweet little briefcase-***-secondary frame.
Also, the KRISS looks like a massive staple gun. lol
