SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES INDUSTRY CONFERENCE (SOFIC) PART III
Sustainment is always at the top of the list for the various commands that make up USSOCOM, and training is a key component of that. Training for joint operations are difficult to coordinate, difficult to manage and difficult to assess. Training Directors have a difficult job; moreover, without the use of a software tool, they may not even gain near real time visibility of how a unit performed or what prevented them from performing.
VATC, a Florida Corporation, headquartered in Tampa has done some amazing work in the field of Joint Force Readiness. While at SOFIC, I had the opportunity to meet Tony Perez, VATC’s Director of EPIC and received a guided tour of what has to be the best thought out, comprehensive and robust training system in that space. Today, VATC employees are critical to the successful execution of USSOCOM Joint National Training Capability exercises (USASOC JADE HELM, MARSOC RAVEN, NSWC TRIDENT, and AFSOC EMERALD WARRIOR) and to providing Realistic Military Training coordination across the continental United States.
EPIC, or more correctly EPIC Ready™, is a cloud-based or appliance-delivered platform that was created to improve realism in training, and to distribute exercise performance analytics in both dashboards and map-based presentations. Using a combination of geospatial representation and analytics, replication of realistic human dynamics, and performance-driven metrics, EPIC delivers comprehensive analysis and quantifiable and actionable results available for sharing “Jointly” among defense, intelligence, partner nations and non-governmental organizations. EPIC Ready™ is comprised of three tools combining to generate the most realistic open and distributed enterprise platform ever created. System elements include:
-
Common Database Builder — The Common Database (CDB) Builder provides enhanced Command and Control and Commanders’ Readiness Assessment with geospatial visualization with selectable layers of information in the common operational picture displayed in the Joint Operations Center. The CDB standard is designed as an open, run-time capable simulation database data-store specification that supports multiple simulation systems, such as visual out-the-window, forward looking infrared, radar, and computer generated forces within a single simulator or across a family of simulators. It is a layered tiled approach to storing a worldwide synthetic environment. Initially developed to support the United States Special Operations Command, CDB is being adopted globally. Currently, the U.S. Joint Staff J7 is using CDB for the Cloud-Based Terrain Generation Service.
-
Digital Media Replicator — The Digital Media Replicator (DMR) fills a critical special operations training and exercise gap by simulating a holistic information environment. DMR presents training audiences with publicly available information (PAI) very similar to what they will encounter during a deployment. PAI data sources, from news media to social media, reflect population dynamics to inform intelligence and operations and enhance training and exercise effects. DMR fosters a complex information environment to challenge units against key training tasks. It feeds training audiences scenario data for analysis while also reflecting the second- and third-order effects of their operations.
DMR incorporates PAI data sources like news sites, blogs, and social media (e.g., Twitter) into a single web-based interface. These information sources are holistic and mutually supporting. For example, a simulated Twitter account may repost a simulated news story or a news media source may reference a Twitter account.
-
Planning and Analysis System —The Planning and Analysis System (PAS) supports and deepens the Commander’s combat readiness assessment. PAS fills a critical training and exercise gap by providing exercise planners and leadership at all levels the unit performance data required to ensure force readiness and increase the return on investment in training resources. PAS is a web-deployed, relational database management system that captures and correlates exercise and performance data with a focus on user-defined training objectives throughout the Joint Exercise Life Cycle. PAS’ ability to manage and visualize this information is essential to analyzing training effectiveness for the broadest range of stakeholders. PAS objectively measures the tasks, conditions, and standards assigned to the Joint Mission Essential Tasks (JMETs) associated with a unit’s combat readiness – from a GCC operational battle staff to a tactical unit. From a joint exercise program perspective, PAS provides an objective measurement of JMETs relevant to the overall joint exercise objectives (and specific training objectives) based on the GCC’s theater campaign plan or other Commander guidance.
I’ve seen quite a few training simulators but none were as comprehensive as the EPIC platform. The system supports resource allocation, costing, geospatial customization, financial tracking, analytics and command reporting near real-time. Since EPIC is a cloud based tool, there is no software to maintain or software licenses to manage, access is on a subscription basis. VATC also has consultants deployed around the world to assist the client in setting up and optimizing the EPIC READY Platform to meet a client’s specific needs. Eighty percent of VATC consultants are former SOF, and intimately familiar with the platform and joint training exercises.
Agencies desiring more detailed information or desiring to arrange a demonstration of this impressive platform, can contact Joseph A Perez SOCM (SEAL), Director of EPIC at tperez@vatcinc.com

SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES INDUSTRY CONFERENCE (SOFIC) PART II
Continuing with the SOF requirements for more UAVs, there is also a need to detect and target a hostile sUAV. One approach is based on a directed energy system like the one developed by Boeing. The directed energy system focus a high energy laser on the UAV or sUAV and in about 15 seconds creating structural damage to incapacitate its target. Boeing’s Compact Laser Weapon System shot down a Class 1 UAV with a 10-second laser shot during the Pentagon’s Black Dart anti-drone exercise in 2015. Demand for directed energy weapons is not limited to the SOF community but they are vitally import in ensuring mission success.
A non-kinetic approach to drone defense is Battelle’s DroneDefender portable anti-UAV beam weapon. Battelle designed and r.f. solution on an M4 format. The system targets the UAV with an r.f. beam that interferes with the UAV control link. Most of the commercial UAVs operate in the 2.4 Ghz. or 5 Ghz. spectrum. Depending on its programming, once the UAV looses its control link, it will return home or land. Some of the issues with this approach revolve around cracked drone software. It is possible to develop code that will allow the drone to detonate a payload rather than go home or land. The drone could also be programmed to ride the interfering r.f. beam to its source. This scenario is hypothetical and requires some level of technical sophistication but certainly possible. In the meantime, Battelle’s DroneDefender is providing the operator with a compact and highly portable technology to counter the increasing threat from commercial UAVs.
Drone detection is equally important and to address that need SpotterRF developed the A2000 Counter Drone Radar.
SpotterRF Compact Surveillance Radars have traditionally been used for protection against ground targets. However, compact radar technology works especially well for detection of aerial vehicles – such as drones. The ever increasing threat of drones has created the need for compact surveillance radar able to detect small drones at distances of 1 kilometer. The A2000 was specifically developed to detect a DJI size drone at ranges of close to 1 km. Small enough to be mounted anywhere the A2000 is an integral part of a complete drone detection, identification and defeat solution such as the UAVX system developed by SpotterRF and Black Sage Technologies. The A2000 can be tripod mounted an easily deployed to protect an area of operation, then quickly broken down and packed out of the AO.

SPECIAL OPERATIONS FORCES INDUSTRY CONFERENCE (SOFIC) PART I
The Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) is a premier event held annually in Tampa, FL home of U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). The venue is a collaborative effort between USSOCOM and the National Defence Industrial Association (NDIA). NDIA is designated by the IRS as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. The organization traces its roots to the American Defense Preparedness Association (ADPA), founded in 1919, and the National Security Industrial Association (NSIA), founded in 1944. For 100 years, NDIA has been the glue that creates a collaborative environment between Defense, Industry and Academia. Organizing SOFIC is one of those activities. So, what is SOFIC?
The conference brings together the U.S. and international Special Operations Community with industry to exchange ideas, communicate needs and explore opportunities. Every year, thousands of attendees from all over the world and over 400 exhibitors gather at the Tampa Convention Center in what is one of the best SOF centric conferences available anywhere.
The Special Operations Community is called upon to do some of the heavy lifting as we prosecute the GWOT. The asymmetric environment these men and women operate in is both challenging and perilous; placing demands on people and assets that require a continual evolution of methods and technology. Complicating this complex fabric is the very real fact that our adversary is employing readily available technology to communicate, plan, and execute with increasing effectiveness. To counter this momentum, industry needs to develop SOF centric technologies that deny and mitigate the effective use of technology tools against our and our partner’s forces. Winning the day in today’s theaters is no longer a function of the biggest tank, the best firearms or artillery. The battlefield circa 2017 needs information, analytics, behavioral biometrics and 
other “force multipliers.” Technology must not only be better, it must be faster and cheaper. Operators in the field now are confronting commercially available drones being used for ISR and weaponized; therefore, technologies are needed to detect and destroy the sUAV in the field. In the words of LTG Kenneth E Tovo, Commander, USASOC “we don’t just need a drone we need swarms of them.” That statement alone is an industry signal on needs going forward – technology serving as force multipliers.
USSOCOM Service Component & Sub-Unified Command Panel were very much in sync identifying needs that address sustainment and future capability gaps.

CAPT Keith Davids, USN, NAVSPECWARCOM
-
Lt Gen Marshall Webb, USAF, CDR, AFSOC
-
Maj Gen Carl Mundy, USMC, CDR, MARSOC
-
Maj Gen Gregory Lengyel, USAF, DCDR, JSOC
So what’s hot at this year’s SOFIC Conference?
At the top of the list is the sUAV, all of the services want more of them; specifically, sUAVs that can be operated by a single operator, which suggests that you’ll see a huge increase in Part 107 compliant (gross weight between .5lbs to 55lbs) UAVs. Size alone is not at the heart of innovation, flight performance and payloads are being aggressively developed. One impressive example exhibited at this year’s conference is Drone Aviation Corp’s Heavy Lift WATT 300 Multirotor Tethered Drone and the recently upgraded WASP Military Aerostat Platforms.
In addition to ISR the sUAV will play an increasingly important role in logistics, and in the very near future operators will be resupplied via UAV. As the sUAV permeates the Services, industry will drive demand for payload packages, man-portable platforms will need tactical nylon specifically designed to transport the UAV and their corresponding remote control platforms and weaponizing the sUAV will likely be a dedicated industry sector.

Ritter & Stark GmbH Announces Winner of Donated Rifle in Police Magazine Giveaway
Feistritz, Austria (May 2017) – Ritter & Stark GmbH, an Austrian-based firearms design and manufacturing company, is proud to announce that Lt. Greg McGivern, of the Linn County Sheriff’s Office, has won the Ritter & Stark SX-1 MTR it donated to the Police Magazine’s Well Dressed Tactical Officer Giveaway.
Police Magazine said that they’ve never had as much interest in a weapon sponsored for its Well Dressed Officer Contest than it did with the SX-1 MTR.
“I was floored when I learned that I had won the contest. I never win anything! It really made my year. I want to thank Ritter & Stark for supplying a fantastic rifle as one of the prizes, said McGivern.
“We are proud supporters of law enforcement officers and we were happy to be able to participate in Police Magazine’s prize package and give a well deserving law enforcement officer an absolutely amazing rifle. Thank you for your service, Greg!” said Yakov Trakhman, marketing director of Ritter & Stark.
The SX-1 MTR has been designed by the world’s best engineers, using state of the art machinery and proprietary techniques to create an advanced long-range precision rifle. The SX-1 MTR allows the operator to quickly and easily change out calibers between .308 Win, .300 Win Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum while in the field. All conversion kits contain the elements necessary for an easy transition from one caliber to another.
In addition to the ease of interchangeability, the barrels come with a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail pre-installed, allowing the operator to pre-sight optics on each barrel, eliminating any need to re-zero the rifle when changing caliber. This is especially important for those professionals who, while in the field, must adapt quickly as their mission changes. The SX-1 MTR’s modularity also allows the utilization of different aftermarket magazines, triggers and grips, providing tactical operators with the ability to customize the rifle to their specific body-type and mission.
One of the secrets to Ritter & Stark’s unprecedented accuracy is its unique barrel production. No other barrel maker in the world manufacturers its barrels like Ritter & Stark. The rifling is done in a CNC-controlled electrochemical machine. This avoids the transmission of thermal effects and mechanical stress to the material. Furthermore, this process allows Ritter & Stark to produce barrels with unique uniformity and within tolerance zones that were not possible in serial production before.
Every rifle is tested at the factory and can achieve 0.5 MOA 3-round groups or better using factory match grade ammunition.

VATC Showcases Groundbreaking EPIC Ready™ At SOFIC 2017 In Tampa
TAMPA, Fla., May 15, 2017 — Visual Awareness Technologies and Consulting Inc. (VATC), a leader in delivering realistic training environments to government and commercial customers around the world, announced today that it will provide demonstrations of its innovative EPIC Ready platform, and host a small user group reception to discuss the current and future applications of the product at the 2017 Special Operations Forces Industry Conference in Tampa, Fla., May 15-18. At their user group reception, titled “The Map of ThingsTM: Mission Readiness through a Map-Based Data Analytics Platform,” EPIC Ready users are invited to discuss the product’s development and deployment thus far, and operational input into the technology’s future solutions for greater mission readiness. Launched just six months ago at I/ITSEC 2016, EPIC is already having great success in support to many customers across the DoD.
“In today’s ever-changing threat environment, no organization is ever expected or able to act alone in times of crisis. Recognizing the numerous challenges that face the Joint Forces today and in the future, we developed the EPIC Ready platform to bridge critical gaps in training realism and assessment,” said Sara Moola, VATC’s co-founder and CEO. “EPIC Ready seeks to maximize individual and unit mission readiness by exposing all echelons of command to the most realistic training and exercise experience possible, enabling objective and comprehensive exercise performance measurement, and visually representing the multi-dimensional ‘Map of Things’ through EPIC’s high resolution 3D common layered geospatial environment. We’re looking forward to discussing the future of the product, and how we work together for enhancing global mission readiness, with our users at SOFIC.”
EPIC Ready™ is a cloud-based or appliance-delivered platform that was created to improve realism in training, and to distribute exercise performance analytics in both dashboards and map-based presentations. Using a combination of geospatial representation and analytics, replication of realistic human dynamics, and performance-driven metrics, EPIC delivers comprehensive analysis and quantifiable and actionable results available for sharing “Jointly” among defense, intelligence, partner nations and non-governmental organizations. EPIC Ready™ is comprised of three tools combining to generate the most realistic open and distributed enterprise platform ever created. System elements include:
-
Common Database Builder — Provides enhanced command and control (C2) and geospatial visualization, allowing users to build, edit and share 3-D models for a uniform training experience.
-
Digital Media Replicator — Enables participants to engage in the most realistic environments possible by aggregating digital media information to inform intelligence and operations and enhance training and exercise effects.
-
Planning and Analysis System — Improves rapid field review and deepens the combat preparedness assessment by measuring training performance against mission objectives, becoming the first near real-time system to realistically and objectively assess readiness.
The EPIC Ready platform will be demonstrated at SOFIC 2017, May 15-18, in suites 2138/2133 at the Tampa Marriott Waterside Hotel. To set up a demo, contact Thomas Miller from VATC at tmiller@vatcinc.com. To learn more about VATC, please visit www.vatcinc.com.

POTUS SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER ADDRESSING CYBERSECURITY
TGIF readers! We made it through another week and now it’s time to light up the grill and enjoy a relaxing Mother’s Day weekend. It’s also time for our weekly (most of the time) shoot the shit topic.
For new readers, a shoot the shit is a freeform discussion on virtually anything whether you actually know something about what is being discussed or not. Readers can make unsupported comments, use uncensored profanity, insult anyone you wish or change the subject altogether. This week we’ve chosen to talk about cyber security and the importance of the President’s EO on cyber security.
This past Thursday, President Donald J Trump signed the final version of the Administration’s cybersecurity executive order. Unlike other policy positions from previous administration, the President has done something long overdue by fostering a risk management and risk mitigation philosophy. It establishes executive level responsibility for cybersecurity across all levels of government. Protecting networks, data and systems is no longer relegated to the geeky guys working in the IT group – Secretaries and Directors now own it.
It blows me away to see government employees, defense and civilian, using computing assets to access personal e-mail and surf the net. Bad idea managers!
We are operating in an environment where space assets and data networks are more important in winning the day than your choice of carbines; that’s a fact, whether you wish to accept it or not. So here’s some of the key points addresses by the EO…
-
emphasizes risk management.
-
critical infrastructure resilience.
-
cyber deterrence.
-
U.S. cyber workforce development.
-
mandates a comprehensive review of cybersecurity across federal networks — both the civilian .gov and the defense .mil domains — as well as the nation’s critical infrastructure.
-
holds executive department and agency heads accountable for the cybersecurity of their enterprises
-
Links cybersecurity to IT modernization.
There are three sections in the final EO, Cybersecurity of Federal Networks, Cybersecurity of Critical Infrastructure and Cybersecurity for the Nation. Each section details a set of required assessments, reports, plans and recommendations to be completed by federal executives, either individually or jointly. The EO stipulates a deadline for each deliverable, with some requiring milestones and timelines for implementation.
Read the EO and implement!
Have a great weekend! Happy Mother’s Day to all of you Moms out there. Remember that your journey as a mother is even more important than the event.

Comp-Tac Race Gun Holster Rig …
Houston, TX, May 2017, Comp-Tac Victory Gear’s International holster is designed for competition, and also works for defensive carry, thanks to several fast mover features that fit the majority of competition and self-defense handguns. Think of the International as the workhorse of competition holsters and you will see why it is both a popular self-defense carry holster and the holster of choice for most IDPA competitors for the last five years.
Each International comes with the correct pistol model marked on the holster.
The Comp-Tac International is an outside-the-waistband belt holster. It comes with a 16-option modular mounting system and 8 mounting holes for various fit choices such as straight, FBI cant, or rearward cross-draw cant. The International holster is designed to fit many other mounting systems offered by other brands, and complies with USPSA and IDPA rules.
The International’s cool vent paddle mount fits over the waist band, and has a drop offset feature that sets the pistol lower and away from the body for comfort and a faster draw–especially appreciated by female competitors because it helps fit many different body shapes and sizes. It has a ½-inch-tall sight rail and fits most red-dot and suppressor optic co-witnessing sights.
The International will fit belts up to 2 inches wide. The paddle mount adds additional physical support, as well as the capability to bypass belt loops, and delivers the really firm fit necessary for fast, no-fumble, stable-holster draws and no-look holstering. The Kydex body features an ultra-smooth (slick) interior for quick and near-frictionless draws.
As with each holster Comp-Tac makes, the International is tested for perfect fit with a correct model real handgun. Competitors are encouraged to contact the company to ensure that their order complies with all related rules and configurations.

MSRP: $64.99 (includes holster, paddle mount and drop offset)

Weight: 7 ounces

The Bergara B-14 Hunting and Match Rifle (HMR) Wins the Outdoor Life Editor’s Choice Award
All new 2017 rifles were tested by a group of five independent judges with the B-14 HMR coming out on top.
Lawrenceville, Ga. (May 2017) – Bergara Rifles, a division of BPI Outdoors, is pleased to announce its Bergara B-14 Hunting and Match Rifle (HMR) has won the Outdoor Life Editor’s Choice Award for 2017.
Over several days of shooting, Outdoor Life tested all of the new rifles for 2017. Drills were done to mimic practical shooting positions. The rifles were shot for accuracy off the bench and tested for reliability by being shot in a way to try and induce malfunctions. Each firearm was taken apart and inspected to ascertain the quality of manufacturing and the amount of innovation put into each firearm. The rifles were tested by a group of five independent judges and were evaluated on 10 different categories. In each of these 10 categories, each rifle was scored using a scale from 1-10. After the shooting stopped and the dust settled, the B-14 HMR came out on top.
“We’re honored that our rifle was chosen by the Outdoor Life judges as the editor’s choice. All of our rifles, and especially the HMR, combine state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques, near-obsessive attention to detail and a passion for bringing our genuine and authentic personal touch to every rifle built.

Ritter & Stark GmbH Sponsors Sniper World Cup in Budapest, Hungary
Organized by the Hungarian Army, Police Sport Association and Police Training Centre, with participants from around the world will be held May 6 – 9, 2017.
Feistritz, Austria (May 2017) – Ritter & Stark GmbH, an Austrian-based firearms design and manufacturing company, will be a sponsor for the 15th Police and Military Sniper World Cup held May 6 – 9, 2017 at the shooting range of the Hungarian Police in Budapest and the Hungarian Army in Taborfalva, Hungary. This elite event pitches the best in police and military snipers as individuals and teams in a challenging course of fire simulating real-world conditions. Sixty-seven teams are registered to participate from around the world.
The Ritter & Stark SX-1 MTR long-range precision rifle, launched in 2016 has caught the interest of many international police and military agencies at many of the major global defense exhibitions. The Sniper World Cup is an opportunity for Ritter & Stark to get the SX-1 MTR in front of some of the world’s most elite sniper shooters.
The SX-1 MTR allows the operator to quickly and easily change out calibers between .308 Win, .300 Win Magnum and .338 Lapua Magnum while in the field. All conversion kits contain the elements necessary for an easy transition from one caliber to another, such as the barrel, bolt face and magazine adaptor.
In addition to the ease of interchangeability, the barrels come with a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail pre-installed, allowing the operator to pre-sight optics. Thus, when interchanging calibers, the operator does not need to reset any optics since the preset scopes will maintain zero even when interchanged. This is especially important for those professionals, while in the field, must adapt quickly as their mission changes.
The SX-1 MTR’s modularity also allows the utilization of different aftermarket magazines, triggers and grips providing tactical operators with the ability to customize the rifle to their specific body-type and mission

THE TRUMP TAX PLAN
It’s Friday and time for our weekly shoot the shit topic. This event is made available to all of our readers free of charge because we believe that we are every bit as good as listening to a jackass that studied behavioral “sciences” so they could understand themselves. We want you to make any unsupported comments you see fit, insult anyone you wish, use uncensored profanity or change the subject altogether.
This week, we’d like to talk about the Trump Tax Plan. It’s important for readers to understand the proposed plan because we are being fed all kinds of misinformation by the mainstream media and the Democratic Party.
The proposed plan reduces the marginal tax bracket for business to 15% or 20%, a very substantial reduction from the current 38% – 35%. This applies to C corporations as well as all pass-through entities. Examples of pass-through entities include sole proprietorships, S corporations, master limited partnerships (MLP), limited liability partnerships (LLP) and limited liability companies (LLC). Since many of the companies operating in our industry are pass-through, you should all be very happy about that.
A pass-through entity is allowed customary and extraordinary business deductions; however, their net operating income or loss is treated as personal income, or a loss, to its owners. So, if Muzzle Brakes LLC had $350,000 in net income for the year, that income passes through to Mr. Joe Muzzle Break owner of Muzzle Brakes LLC. Under the proposed plan, his $350,000 business income would be taxed at a 15% or 20%
On the personal side, the plan proposes to double the standard deduction and a reduction in the number of income tax brackets from 7 to 3. The plan keeps charitable contribution deductions and home mortgage interest deductions. This will put more money in the hands of consumers increasing consumer spending. If you want to know why we had a Q1 GDP of 0.7% all you need to do is look at March’s personal consumption expenditures (PCE) which only increased $5.7 billion (less than 0.1 percent) – annualized it translates to 1.2%. When you consider that consumers account for 60% to 70% of GDP that should be an eye opener.
By limiting deductions on the personal side, it makes the plan very equitable and effectively narrows the gap between marginal tax rates (the published tax bracket) and effective tax rates (what the taxpayer actually pays). A person making $1,000,000 or more annually will not be able to take advantage of tax deductions that allows them to reduce their effective tax rate. Remember that under current tax law, a person in the 35% marginal tax bracket can use deductions, shelters and other tools to achieve effective tax rates that are significantly lower than the marginal rate.
The Trump Tax Plan hits all of the right notes but it’s going to take time to work its way through the economy, not to mention the fact that when you have a federal tax reduction, states will look at increasing sales taxes, income taxes etc. So, voters need to keep an eye on your state tax initiatives.
If you are a publicly traded corporation, lower taxes means higher executive bonuses, healthier dividend payments to stockholders, higher earnings per share and a higher stock price. Regrettably, although this is all good, it does nothing for jobs. The demand side of the economy needs a big catalyst.
What we would like to see is business investing in plant and equipment (capital investments) is allowed to be deducted, dollar for dollar, against current period income, for a 3 year period. For example:
If you make rifle actions, you will have a three year window during which you can purchase new CNC machines and deduct the full cost of those new machines against current period income. Currently, capital investments are capitalized – this means you can only write off a portion of the investment year over year until fully depreciated. This alone will spur business investing and ignite the supply chain. Suppliers will see increase demand and add to their labor force.
In closing, the best advice we can give you is, don’t pay a lot of attention to media comments they’re largely misinformation and an abundance of manure.
Also on our wish list is a national lottery with proceeds earmarked for infrastructure and national debt reduction. Increasing the gas tax is in our view the wrong strategy. Time to start thinking out of the box and get the job done!
Have a safe weekend, try to get some range time in, or spend quality time with your buds and family!

Sneek Peek: KRISS VECTOR SDP-SB
This coming June is a special month for us in that at long last I have the opportunity to review the KRISS Vector. I’ve had a long lasting love affair with the Vector, which began at Blackwater’s facility where it was demonstrated by TDI in its original .45ACP version. The KRISS Vector has come a long way since then and I’ll be telling readers all about the KRISS VECTOR of 2017.
