The KARD is a prototype pistol from KRISS Systems, which also made the Vector, boasting a fixed-barrel, and has a weight that tilts downward during recoil, which lessens the kickback.
The KARD uses a modified version of the Vector's vector-delayed blowback system, in which it has a fixed barrel as opposed to a tilting barrel as seen on most pistols; this also makes it more accurate and much easier for the user to install suppressors or muzzle attachments on it. The KARD lacks a moving slide, and instead has a T-shaped charging handle on the rear of the weapon. Because there isn't a moving slide, optics can be attached to the weapon more easily than with conventional slide-action pistols.
