We heard a lot about the Krytac KRISS Vector AEG. Announced during IWA 2015, a prototype has been spotted during SHOT SHOW 2016 and expected release by the end of this year (2016). Now there seems to be a copy of the Vector AEG made by A&K Airsoft. Previously, they produced the Magpul Masada ACR AEG without a licence from Magpul PTS (now PTS Syndicate), and were stopped from further releasing without until they took a licence from PTS. Are they making the same mistake again? 

We have reached out to Krytac, which is the airsoft division of KRISS Group, and this is their official response just released:

August 31, 2016 – Chesapeake, Virginia, USA – KRISS USA, developer and manufacturer of the KRISS Vector family of firearms, has been made aware of an unauthorized and unlicensed reproduction of its KRISS Vector SMG in the form of an AEG replica by A&K Airsoft. Despite several official notifications, A&K Airsoft has pursued into the continuation of this project, and is planning release of this unlicensed product.

Sales will be limited to the MAX2 / Ambi Model only at this time.

"We regretfully state that, for the Recoil Model, we plan to sell the finished product for the time being. We are sorry to those who wish to purchase the Challenge Kit.
