Cz Evo vs Kriss Vector
- Thread starter Cturcot1

You see, Scorpion sounds too scary a gun REEEEEEEEEEEE
Not sure what you are looking for considering they are completely different guns, but here are some points:
Vector uses a unique recoil-curbing system for better control under full auto fire. Not really applicable for civilian models, but it still helps.
CZ Evo uses a blowback design which is common among smgs. Recoil may be slightly greater as it relies on the mass of the bolt coming straight back.
Its common to switch out controls on CZ Evo because the factory grip and ambi safety are uncomfortable.
Controls on the Vector can be awkward, but it can be overcome by training.
Vector takes glock mags which are common and inexpensive.
Evo mags are also inexpensive but can be hard to find when stocks dry out.
Looks and shapes depends on your preference and uses.
Hope this helps.

Waste of typing. The CZ Evo got caught up in the May 1st OIC ban. They're paper weights now.
I figure they banned them because the VZ 58, CSA series was already on the list, and the CZ Evo was probably on the next page.
Scorpion was banned. Blair said the guns used in Nova Scotia were on the list so I assume he had one or someone used one in a shooting. Vector has not been used in a shooting so not banned.
You are trying to make sense of something that does not

I think there been only 2 shooting involving AR15s in Canada, zero Swiss Arms. Yet they are prohib.
Swiss arms banned because some came into the country as converted automatics ( this is a sore spot on this site) and they say they are a variant of the SG-550 and 551 which were already banned. So since it is now deemed a variant of a banned rifle it too is banned. They were banned then unbanned and then were going to be grandfathered and then banned again. Nothing to do with it being involved in a shooting.
from a news article
The “Canadian Law Comments” from within the FRT database reads:
– in the case of this firearm, it has been determined that the component; commonly referred to as the upper receiver assembly, into which the barrel is mounted and which contains the breech mechanism and upon which the Manufacturer’s identification, Model identification, Proof information, and the full serial number is marked, is the Receiver/Frame for the purposes stated within the Firearms Act and the Criminal Code of Canada. – Company documentation and advertising linking this Model to the SIG Arms SG540 rifle design resulted in an initial “Non-Restricted” classification of this Model. – In 2013/2014, a thorough inspection of the Classic Green family of firearms (which included this Model) has determined this Model to be a variant of the firearm commonly known as the SG-550 rifle or SG-551 Carbine and is therefore prohibited under Part 1, para. 83 of the Prohibited Firearm Regulations in Part III of Section 84 of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Incorrect some cz858(among other Czech imports) dating approx 2004-2017 came into the country as converted automatics, many did not.
The "logic" behind the swiss arms ban is that the Sig 550 is banned by name and the receiver of the Sig 540 has no remarkable differences from the receiver of the 550
And to answer the ITT the CZ evo was banned at the recommendation of coalition for gun control. As seen in their media documents.
Ok my understanding was that some of the Swiss arms were converted to Canadian standard when they were in fact built out of the 550 which was select fire and converted to semi
complaint filed with the RCMP’s National Weapons Enforcement Support Team (NWEST) led to an investigation of CSC’s newly imported rifles, which had been built to “Canadian Spec” by SAN in Switzerland.
One of these CSC rifles landed on the counter of TSE, who found various attributes in it that differed from any of their own Classic Greens.
TSE felt legally obligated to send both the traded-in gun and examples from their own stock for evaluation to ascertain their legality.
The rifles were submitted to William Etter the Senior Firearms Technologist of the RCMP. In June of 2013 he asked both CSC and TSE to submit supporting documentation that might clarify the lineage of the Classic Greens. His findings were:
“The most generous interpretation of our research would be that all the [Swiss Arms firearms] are prohibited variant or modified versions of the SG 550 rifle or SG551 Carbine

One is banned, the other is not banned yet.
Our gun laws don’t make sense and are not made to make sense. They were written to be a major annoyance to gun owners to make people quit.
The Swiss Arm Classic green/black rifles were not any different from a SG 550 based on inspection, they were not SG 540 variants as alleged in their import documents.
Because you can still purchase a FAMAE SG 540 rifle as those are undeniably SG 540 variants.
This. It need not be anymore complicated then that. There is nobody more persistent than a Liberal with a bad idea.
Take Care
