Kriss dumps KWA
« on: April 18, 2013, 02:35:39 PM »
Apparently Kriss Arms has decided to revoke licensing rights of to KWA.
Affects current and future products.
So time to buy that Kriss if you were on the fence as it may soon be a collectors item

its sad to see Kriss do that. Its like seeing a wonderful couple that you know break up. and you just wonder why? They were so wonderful together. What happened between them to cause this? Oh well.. we may not get answers.
But if Kriss works with another airsoft manufacturer with their guns  (VFC would be AWESOME), i'll be happy that i'll still get to buy their products. Because God knows that people out there are probably wanting to get their hands on the AEG Kriss that was in development aswell.

I realize that while most people suck, there are still some genuine characters that exist out here. I'll show my appreciation by being genuine in return.
Love the sport.

This is sounding as if it's more serious than just the Vector licensing rights.
On KWA USA and Arnies forums, recent ex employees of KWA like the well known, Allen (Allizard) their USA Marketing Director has stated he along with more than half of the KWA USA staff have quit KWA
Better buy up any spare parts and mags ASAP

WE, KJW, King Arms, and several others must be excited by this news.

Still, a bit shocking, KWA must've spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on all the licensing and technology built in to their newest platform, only to have it be taken away so soon? Something's not quite right here. In that same article, KRISS mentions legally pursuing anyone who has infringed on their copyrights. I wonder if that includes KWA?

Umarex licenses the 416's which are then sold under the Umarex name.  The original 416's are not licensed at all.  The Scar's are not licensed that I am aware of.

You have any evidence of this, because that's news to me.
