A binary firing system, designed for the Kriss Vector platform by Franklin Armory, allows the firearm to discharge a round both when the trigger is pulled and when it is released. This effectively doubles the rate of fire without technically classifying the weapon as fully automatic under current United States federal law. This system offers shooters increased speed and efficiency, especially in competitive shooting disciplines.
The appeal of this firing system stems from the Vector’s already unique delayed blowback operating system, known for mitigating recoil and muzzle rise. Coupled with a binary trigger, the firearm becomes even more controllable, allowing for faster follow-up shots and increased accuracy during rapid fire. The system provides an advantage in competitive environments while remaining compliant with regulations governing automatic firearms. Historically, advancements in firearm technology have often focused on improving rate of fire while maintaining controllability. This specific combination represents a notable development in this ongoing pursuit.
