Description
Hephaestus Recoil Power Kit for KWA Kriss Vector
This is a Hephaestus recoil power kit listed for the KWA Kriss Vector gas blowback SMG. Hephaestus is a Hong Kong maker of upgrade parts for gas blowback replicas, known for parts that improve recoil feel and reliability.
The Vector’s gas blowback action already gives a satisfying kick, and a recoil kit is designed to make that kick sharper and more noticeable. Hephaestus’s recoil power kit for the Vector GBB platform is described as an enhanced buffer assembly that adds recoiling mass for a snappier recoil impulse.
How it works
Retailer information for the Hephaestus Vector recoil power kit describes a CNC-machined buffer system with a weighted copper buffer, a steel buffer spring assembly and a polymer bumper intended to absorb impact and reduce wear. It is described as a drop-in replacement for the stock buffer assembly. The extra mass makes the felt recoil stronger and more realistic.
Getting the best from it
Heavier recoiling parts need good gas pressure to cycle reliably, so performance can drop in cold weather. Make sure your magazines are in good condition and well sealed. Hephaestus also offers a high-performance piston head for the Vector, which retailers suggest pairing with the recoil kit.
