A series of SMG weapons developed by KRISS USA (Formally TDI), The SMG Vector (Gen I) was previously known as Super V in 2007, now with latest Gen II Vector released in 2015, "Super V" now merely refers to the recoil reduction mechanism featured on the gun.


A delayed blowback operated sub machinegun with a strange visual appearance, Vector fires from a closed bolt, featuring selective fire mechanism with 2-round burst, semi and full auto. Prototype Vector was designed to chamber the .45 ACP cartridge but Gen II Vector have variants that fires the 9x19mm Parabellum, can be fired at a rate of 1200 rounds per minute while being feed by Glock 21's magazine, or a larger proprietary MagEx 25+ extended 25-round magazine. Also featuring foldable stock and Picatinny rail on top of the gun for mounting optics.
|weaponinfo =
The KRISS Vector is a series of weapons based upon the parent submachine gun design developed by the American firearms company KRISS USA, formerly Transformational Defense Industries (TDI). The various weapons in the Vector family use an unconventional delayed blowback system combined with an in-line design to reduce perceived recoil and muzzle climb.<ref name= "wiki">[[wikipedia:KRISS Vector|Wikipedia entry on Vector]]</ref>


Vector is noted for it's recoil reducing designs, Super V Recoil Mitigation System, that is an articulated mechanism which allows the bolt and an inertia block to move downward into a recess behind the magazine well. Together with the rate of fire brought down to 1200 from 1500 RPM, this SMG can be easily controlled even during fully automatic firing of large calibre pistol cartridges.  
In the spring of 2007, the company then known as TDI announced that they were in the process of developing a new submachine gun. This experimental firearm would make use of a unique mechanical action, originally designed and patented by French engineer Renaud Kerbrat. This action, called the 'KRISS Super V' or sometimes referred to as 'vector-delayed blowback' or 'off-axis blowback', is an articulated mechanism which allows the bolt and an inertia block to recoil off-axis into a recess behind the weapon's magazine well. The theory is that at the end of travel, the energy from the bolt is transmitted downward rather than rearward, thus reducing felt recoil. When fired, the barrel axis is in line with the shoulder like with the M16 rifle, but also in line with the shooter's hand like is the case with many target pistols. This is intended to reduce muzzle climb when combined with the off-axis bolt travel, though it also greatly raises the height-over-bore of the sights. The initial prototype model by TDI achieved a rate of fire of 1,500 rounds per minute, though this was brought down to around 1,200 rounds per minute on the production models.


Gen I Vector variant are no longer in production, all further production of Vector units from KRISS USA are now Gen II. Gen II Vector SMG is available only to the military and law enforcement agency while other semi automatic variants are available for civilian market.<ref name= "wiki"></ref>
The Vector is split into two major assemblies in a manner similar to an AR-15 rifle, with the receivers secured together with four push pins. Due to the weapon's unusual layout, the lower receiver contains the action, charging handle, magazine well, and barrel, while the upper receiver houses the ejection port, rail system, pistol grip, and fire control components, as well as the stock for configurations that have one. This modular design allows for simple caliber conversions without the need for additional tools. All one would have to do is swap out the lower receiver for one in the desired caliber. The Vector's safety is ambidextrous (as is the fire selector on the full auto models), while the ejection port, charging handle, bolt release catch, and magazine release are not, and are only available in a right-handed configuration.


| characterinfo =
The original 'Gen I' model of the Vector would begin serial production in 2009, and was originally chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. KRISS claims that the .45 ACP chambering was chosen in order to demonstrate that the Vector's action could "tame such a powerful round". Vectors chambered in .45 ACP are designed to accept standard Glock 21 pistol magazines. Although initially only offered in .45 ACP, additional potential caliber options such as .22 LR, .40 S&W, and 9×19mm Parabellum were mentioned when the gun was first released. In 2015, KRISS announced the upgraded 'Gen II' Vector. This new version featured a redesigned pistol grip and trigger, and the swing angle of the safety lever was reduced from 120 to 45 degrees. It also eliminated the opening above the barrel for the original weapon's optional Surefire weapon light, since these are no longer manufactured. Also introduced with the Gen II was a new lower receiver designed for 9x19mm Parabellum. Vectors chambered for 9mm are designed to utilize standard Glock 17 magazines. A version of the Vector chambered in .22LR would be announced five years later at SHOT Show 2020.
=== Design ===
SA shared comments on the design inspirations of Vector on the Official Girls Frontline Art Book.  


"Upon seeing the weapon Vector for the first time, I felt like that she should be a girl with silver hair. Personality should be the serious type, and she should also appear to be a bit cold. (第一次看到vector的外形时，就觉得应该是个银灰色头发的、认真又有点冷的少女)".
Gen I Vectors are no longer in production, with all current production from KRISS USA being of the updated Gen II pattern. Fully automatic Gen II Vector SMGs are available only to military and law enforcement agencies, with semi-automatic variants available for the civilian market. There are three main configurations available: the Vector CRB carbine (which features an extended 16 inch barrel), the Vector SBR, and the Vector SDP (special duty pistol). In addition to 9×19mm Parabellum and .45 ACP, these civilian models can also be chambered in .40 S&W (using Glock 22 magazines), 10mm Auto (using Glock 20 magazines), or .357 SIG (using Glock 31 magazines). A variant chambered for 9×21mm IMI that feeds from standard 9×19mm Glock 17 magazines is available for the Italian civilian market. The .22LR variant feeds from a proprietary 10 round magazine, and functions using a traditional straight blowback operating system rather than the Super V delayed system.


"Since it is a modern weapon, so her costume doesn't look as suitable for combat as the other T-doll's costumes(因为本身是现代枪，所以服装上看起来不是像其他人那样有战斗感的战术服装)."

"The colour theme of her outfit were taken from the gun, short skirt to match the short hair. Main colouring theme is black and creamy yellow, together with a clean white shirt, hoping that it gives people a sense of fresh and cool just from looking at her.(从枪身上提取图形和颜色为元素，选择了不累赘的连衣短裙和短发，主色是黑色和黄色搭配干净的白衬衣，希望能给人清爽帅气的印象)"

Vector is also one of the taller SMG T-dolls, body height well exceeds 160cm, though her height seem to be reduced a lot with her Kitty Paw costume (below 150cm) and increased with the wedding dress (almost 2 metres)...
"Since it is a modern weapon, her base costume doesn't look as suitable for combat as other T-doll's costumes(因为本身是现代枪，所以服装上看起来不是像其他人那样有战斗感的战术服装)."


=== Personality ===
"The color scheme of her outfit was taken from the gun itself, and she was given a short skirt to match the short hair. The primary colors used for the outfit were black and creamy yellow, together with a clean white shirt. This was done to hopefully give people a sense of 'fresh' and 'cool' just from looking at her.(从枪身上提取图形和颜色为元素，选择了不累赘的连衣短裙和短发，主色是黑色和黄色搭配干净的白衬衣，希望能给人清爽帅气的印象)"
Official character description would have her down as a T-doll with very few words and a weird personality, despite her asocial persona she would still silently offer aid to her allies in need, as a result she is actually a fairly popular T-doll. Vector possesses an incredibly pessimist characteristic, she radiate intense level of negative energy with the way she acts with the things she says, she would expect the worst outcome out of any situation.  


The way Vector act out is likely a referred to the difficult and intertwined history of the actual weapon. Being developed by an American company, designer is Swedish while the mechanism copyright is French. After first public reveal, the weapon received doubts from the audience due to the strange visual appearance. Over a period of several years redevelopment, even a name change for both the weapon and the company, the weapon's performance is finally being admired by public. Despite the high performance of the finished product it still did not enter Military service, while the civilian market started complaining about it's high pricing (Popular with the film industry though due to it's Sci-Fi look).
Vector is also one of the taller SMG T-dolls, with a total height exceeding 160cm. Although, her height seems to be reduced a lot in the art for her 'Kitty Paw' costume (to below 150cm) and increased in her wedding dress skin (to almost 2 metres). Regarding the abnormal body height in the wedding dress costume art, some players have suggested that it is the result of a common photography technique, where the bride is made to stand on a stool or box in order to better reveal the full length of the dress.


=== In-Game ===
<div class="spoiler">During the costume story for her 'Love is Blind' wedding outfit, it is revealed that Vector was indeed standing on top of a crate at the time the photo was taken.</div>
Together with the high default rate of fire/damage and the given ability, Vector is in fact, the strongest thrown-grenade type unit in the game. Her default shooting damage when buffed is notable, while her Molotov skill is very effective against large enemy crowds and/or high evasion enemies during day and night missions. On top of that Vector is able to provide a massive rate of fire bonus to the AR unit standing behind her. Note that Vector's default evasion is lower than most SMG, so her tanking performance is not as ideal as the others.
 
The second 5* SMG introduced in the game, the first one is {{doll name|Thompson|SMG|5}}. Vector is actually fairly common for a 5* rarity doll, most Commanders will have received their Vector within a month of playing, which could mean for most players, her expansion is less expensive than the other 5* T-dolls. (Just like Thompson)
 
=== Story Involvement ===
Vector was as part of Hitori Bocchi, she was one of the two main characters who represented Girls Frontline during the collaboration event with Honkai Gakuen on November 16th 2017.
 
Vector's costumes Kitty Paw and Love is Blind described her side story interactions with the Commander during 2017's Halloween and 2018's Sweet Oath.
 
{{Spoiler|target=Game_Data}}
 
{{WIP}}
 
==== Hitori Bocchi ====
Vector was the first T-doll to make contact with a Honkai character after she encountered {{doll name|Kiana|HG|EXTRA}}. (Note that Hitori Bocchi is told from a perspective of Kiana being the Commander, the actual player character "could not interact with this event due to unnameable reasons", according to {{doll name|Five-seveN|HG|5}}). T-doll {{doll name|PP-90|SMG|4}} interacted with Vector extensively through out this event, even gave her the nickname "Vivi" out of affections, while Vivi can address PP-90 as "Pipi". Initially irritated by this, Vivi eventually gave in, accepted her fate and her new nickname.
 
[[File:HITORI_BOCCHI_CUTSCENE_3.png|left|thumb|"We've been here three times Ms Kiana, are you sure you want to lead?"]]
 
Hitori Bocchi centred around Vivi, Pipi and Kiana, the story began with Schicksal Valkyrja entering the world of Girls Frontline with their flagship Hyperion. The garrison Vivi and Pipi stayed at suddenly came under attack by waves of "Zombies", Vivi stayed back to guard a warehouse alone, promises were made for her own extraction from Pipi, but Vivi never expected it to arrive. Endless waves of zombies have exhausted Vivi's munitions, just when she is ready to accept her fate, enters Kiana. Mistaking Vivi as a human at first, Kiana and Vector exchanged information on their current situation, decided to work together and exit the powerless facility. "By the way Ms Kiana, I'm not a human. While I'm probably not very good representation of my company's image but, <del>Vivi</del> Vector of Private Military Contractor Gryfon & Kryuger, here by thank you for enlisting our service.".
 
{{clr}}
 
With Kiana bought back to Vivi's the main unit in that sector, Pipi explained that they are still under siege from waves of zombies, communication to G&K HQ and their Commander (the Player) is cut off, Kiana as the only human there that can take over command of all the T-doll units. After a quick tutorial Kiana got the hang of the basics of commanding T-doll units, Pipi assumed the role of her adjutant. Under Kiana's command, they swiftly dealt with the zombie problem and reunited with {{doll name|Theresa|HG|EXTRA}} and {{doll name|Murata Himeko|AR|EXTRA}}, later on the reunited group obtained contact with FN Squadron, exchanged Intel and discussed further plans against the invasion.
 
Honkai energy is essentially the negative chaotic energy, it expresses itself through many aspects, primarily it incites war, spreads diseases, wreaks havoc, many worlds have already fallen to Honkai. Members of Schicksal Valkyrja have fought this across many worlds and dimensions, but their journey to the world of Girls Frontline was an unexpected one. Honkai energy that should have never existed in this world, it some how incarnated and spawned countless numbers of mechanized zombie girls. The next move for the group would be to locate their other missing crew members {{doll name|Raiden Mei|RF|EXTRA}} and {{doll name|Bronya|RF|EXTRA}}, for Vivi however was to locate the Hyperion and escort a fellow Valkyrie named {{doll name|Seele|SG|EXTRA}} to their new operation HQ, Pipi begged to come along but Vivi rejected the offer and said that she works better on her own, so Pipi joined the main group instead.

[[File:HITORI_BOCCHI_CUTSCENE_4.png|left|thumb|Vipi and Pipi fell victim to Seele's attacks]]
 
Being efficient with her work, Vivi quickly located the Hyperion with the coordinates provided, she contacted Seele on Hyperion's bridge, who agreed to the escort mission after hearing it was at her companions' request. After the Honkai source from the Sangvis Ferri leader was dealt with and a brief repair, Pipi set off to rendezvous with Vector who is currently in a tunnel. The group continued with their travel back to the operation HQ, everything proceeded smoothly until suddenly the two was cut down by a series of precise and deadly melee blows, Seele was never in her normal persona, she was the one who unleashed a sample of Honkai from the Hyperion while the Valkyries were entering this world. The pair was left critically wounded while alter Seele proceeded with her intended task.

==== Costume story: Kitty Paw ====
G&K's Halloween celebration is similar to how normal society celebrates, trick or treats, fancy costumes and parties. But only a few T-dolls manage to leave a deep impression on the Commander that night...
 
"Overall, everything have been proceeding smoothly this Halloween...", the Commander thinks to him/herself while patrolling the dinning hall of the base. "The HQ is of a reasonable size, so there are a few naughtier girls, the strict rules we set meant they didn't enjoy themselves to the fullest, but at least nothing too horrid happened.", the Commander continues to ponder while strolling through the base. "Despite this being a social event, but there are always those who are less social, I'm looking at one right now.", the Commander sets his/her gaze on Vector, who isn't wearing a costume, leaning against the wall at the corner of the room in her usual outfit, while watching the other girls have fun. The Commander approaches Vector, "Why are you not taking part in the event Vector?", Vector refocuses her visions on the Commander, "Oh, it's the Commander...", her face is void of expressions. "Yes... It is me."
 
"You actually have tasks that involves using me?", Vector's reply is filled with negative energy, "Everyone is dressed up for Halloween,
 
==== Costume story: Love is Blind ====
In attempt to advertise G&K, a few T-dolls was chosen as wedding dress models, Vector was one of them.

Weapon Background[edit]

The KRISS Vector is a series of weapons based upon the parent submachine gun design developed by the American firearms company KRISS USA, formerly Transformational Defense Industries (TDI). The various weapons in the Vector family use an unconventional delayed blowback system combined with an in-line design to reduce perceived recoil and muzzle climb.[1]

In the spring of 2007, the company then known as TDI announced that they were in the process of developing a new submachine gun. This experimental firearm would make use of a unique mechanical action, originally designed and patented by French engineer Renaud Kerbrat. This action, called the 'KRISS Super V' or sometimes referred to as 'vector-delayed blowback' or 'off-axis blowback', is an articulated mechanism which allows the bolt and an inertia block to recoil off-axis into a recess behind the weapon's magazine well. The theory is that at the end of travel, the energy from the bolt is transmitted downward rather than rearward, thus reducing felt recoil. When fired, the barrel axis is in line with the shoulder like with the M16 rifle, but also in line with the shooter's hand like is the case with many target pistols. This is intended to reduce muzzle climb when combined with the off-axis bolt travel, though it also greatly raises the height-over-bore of the sights. The initial prototype model by TDI achieved a rate of fire of 1,500 rounds per minute, though this was brought down to around 1,200 rounds per minute on the production models.

The Vector is split into two major assemblies in a manner similar to an AR-15 rifle, with the receivers secured together with four push pins. Due to the weapon's unusual layout, the lower receiver contains the action, charging handle, magazine well, and barrel, while the upper receiver houses the ejection port, rail system, pistol grip, and fire control components, as well as the stock for configurations that have one. This modular design allows for simple caliber conversions without the need for additional tools. All one would have to do is swap out the lower receiver for one in the desired caliber. The Vector's safety is ambidextrous (as is the fire selector on the full auto models), while the ejection port, charging handle, bolt release catch, and magazine release are not, and are only available in a right-handed configuration.

The original 'Gen I' model of the Vector would begin serial production in 2009, and was originally chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. KRISS claims that the .45 ACP chambering was chosen in order to demonstrate that the Vector's action could "tame such a powerful round". Vectors chambered in .45 ACP are designed to accept standard Glock 21 pistol magazines. Although initially only offered in .45 ACP, additional potential caliber options such as .22 LR, .40 S&W, and 9×19mm Parabellum were mentioned when the gun was first released. In 2015, KRISS announced the upgraded 'Gen II' Vector. This new version featured a redesigned pistol grip and trigger, and the swing angle of the safety lever was reduced from 120 to 45 degrees. It also eliminated the opening above the barrel for the original weapon's optional Surefire weapon light, since these are no longer manufactured. Also introduced with the Gen II was a new lower receiver designed for 9x19mm Parabellum. Vectors chambered for 9mm are designed to utilize standard Glock 17 magazines. A version of the Vector chambered in .22LR would be announced five years later at SHOT Show 2020.

Gen I Vectors are no longer in production, with all current production from KRISS USA being of the updated Gen II pattern. Fully automatic Gen II Vector SMGs are available only to military and law enforcement agencies, with semi-automatic variants available for the civilian market. There are three main configurations available: the Vector CRB carbine (which features an extended 16 inch barrel), the Vector SBR, and the Vector SDP (special duty pistol). In addition to 9×19mm Parabellum and .45 ACP, these civilian models can also be chambered in .40 S&W (using Glock 22 magazines), 10mm Auto (using Glock 20 magazines), or .357 SIG (using Glock 31 magazines). A variant chambered for 9×21mm IMI that feeds from standard 9×19mm Glock 17 magazines is available for the Italian civilian market. The .22LR variant feeds from a proprietary 10 round magazine, and functions using a traditional straight blowback operating system rather than the Super V delayed system.

Character Design

Vector's original artist, SA, shared comments on the design inspirations for Vector in the official Girls' Frontline art book:[2]

"Upon seeing the Vector for the first time, I felt like that she should be a girl with silver hair. Personality should be the serious type, and she should also appear to be a bit cold. (第一次看到vector的外形时，就觉得应该是个银灰色头发的、认真又有点冷的少女)".

"Since it is a modern weapon, her base costume doesn't look as suitable for combat as other T-doll's costumes(因为本身是现代枪，所以服装上看起来不是像其他人那样有战斗感的战术服装)."

"The color scheme of her outfit was taken from the gun itself, and she was given a short skirt to match the short hair. The primary colors used for the outfit were black and creamy yellow, together with a clean white shirt. This was done to hopefully give people a sense of 'fresh' and 'cool' just from looking at her.(从枪身上提取图形和颜色为元素，选择了不累赘的连衣短裙和短发，主色是黑色和黄色搭配干净的白衬衣，希望能给人清爽帅气的印象)"

Vector is also one of the taller SMG T-dolls, with a total height exceeding 160cm. Although, her height seems to be reduced a lot in the art for her 'Kitty Paw' costume (to below 150cm) and increased in her wedding dress skin (to almost 2 metres). Regarding the abnormal body height in the wedding dress costume art, some players have suggested that it is the result of a common photography technique, where the bride is made to stand on a stool or box in order to better reveal the full length of the dress.

During the costume story for her 'Love is Blind' wedding outfit, it is revealed that Vector was indeed standing on top of a crate at the time the photo was taken.
