Introduction
KWA is regarded as one of the finest manufacturers of GBB pistols today, and they continue to produce new and unique models using their NS2 operating system. The KZ75 is one of these new models, featuring full metal externals with a few exceptions, and a powerful, yet very efficient gas system. I will discuss all of the various aspects of this pistol in this review!
Ordering:
I obtained this pistol from Airsoft GI for the purpose of writing this review. It is currently available HERE, priced at $165, with additional magazines located HERE, priced at $40. This price is on par with KWA’s latest offerings using the NS2 system. I received the pistol a few days after it was ordered, using Airsoft GI’s UPS ground shipping. It survived shipping just fine, they even included an ASGI t-shirt in the package!
First impressions/Packaging:
The KZ75 comes packaged in a black KWA box, with a sticker on the side indicating the model held within. The box has a styrofoam liner, which doesn’t look like it was specifically molded to fit the KZ, however, it holds it securely enough, and it got to me without any damage. My first impressions upon looking at the pistol was that KWA outdid themselves on this one, and that this unique gun was certainly a pleasant change of pace from the sea of Glocks and 1911s out there.
Allen from KWA USA sent this interesting announcement. While the KRISS Super V was one of the hits at this year’s IWA fair in Nuernberg, it surely is going to be a hit among airsofters once it hits the stores. In order to stir things up a bit, KWA’s announcement is spot on:

KWA TO PRODUCE GBB VERSION OF KRISS VECTOR SMG
City of Industry, CA, July 29, 2010 – KWA is pleased to announce an exciting partnership with KRISS Systems SA, designer and manufacturer of the KRISS Vector submachine gun. KRISS Systems SA, a Swiss global industry leader in firearm innovation, holds the patent for the unique Super V System found in the KRISS Vector.
Unlike conventional firearm designs, the KRISS Super V System redirects recoil forces to aid the user, rather than work against the user. Even with the powerful recoil of the .45 ACP round, the Vector “reduces felt recoil by as much as 70% and muzzle climb by as much as 95%!” This breakthrough design has been featured in popular television programs such as Future Weapons and Ultimate Weapons. It has also received numerous accolades from the staff writers of Guns and Weapons for Law Enforcement and Popular Science for revolutionizing firearms engineering. The KRISS Vector SMG is currently under evaluation by various special operations units worldwide to become a referenced weapon for Close Quarter Battle and Urban Warfare. With such advanced technology, an airsoft version is the natural step.
KWA has been granted an exclusive, worldwide license to design and produce GBB (Gas Blow Back) versions of the KRISS Vector, never before done within the airsoft industry. The first prototype of the Vector GBB will be unveiled at the 2011 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The new airsoft gun will be 1:1 in dimensions and powered by KWA’s advanced gas system technology; providing consistent and reliable operation KWA products are known for. Pricing and release dates will be announced in the future.
“Designing the GBB airsoft KRISS Vector SMG is a unique challenge that requires both innovative out-of-the-box thinking and strong Research and Development capabilities. Powered by precision engineering, high performing products and a passion to outperform, we entrusted KWA as the sole manufacturer of all our current and upcoming KRISS GBB airsoft products” said Christophe Guignard, Director of Marketing of KRISS Systems SA.
With unparalleled customer and warranty service, KWA strives to ensure that all of its products are of the highest quality and its customers are properly cared for. The introduction of the 2GX AEG (Airsoft Electric Gun) gearbox and the NS2 GBB system has set a new standard in airsoft technology.

The KWA Full Metal KM4 SR7 DEVGRU Airsoft Gun is a beauty. The entire gun is a dull matte black color that doesn’t reflect light nearly as much as the glossy black finish common on some KWA pistols. The entire gun is rock solid, from the stock to the flash hider, there is no unusual wobble whatsoever.
KWA has always put an emphasis on being awesome, and they continue that tradition with the KZ75. This full metal pistol brings performance and realism to their pinnacle and you can hold this thing of beauty in your hands for the low price of only $165.00
