Found some pics of the awesome KRISS submachine gun from TDI Inc. There has not been an evolutionary change like this in the submachine gun since the vintage WW2 M1A1 Thompson, 50 years ago. Firing the .45 APC round, the Thompson kicked like a mule and suffered from terrible muzzle rise. Since then submachine guns like the UZI and the MP5 have fired the smaller, less lethal 9mm parabellum. The KRISS has returned to the .45 round with very little recoil using it's patented Super V technology. Essentially, the recoil is deflected downwards mechanically. I've added a pic of the FN P90, a much older design for comparative purposes. The new aesthetic of gun design.
