The KRISS Vector is a series of weapons based upon the parent submachine gun design developed by the American company KRISS USA. They use an unconventional delayed blowback system combined with in-line design to reduce perceived recoil and muzzle climb.
The Vector SMG is a selective-fire submachine gun developed by KRISS USA, formerly Transformational Defense Industries (TDI). It's the only weapon to feature full-automatic fire mode in the KRISS Vector series. The Vector is popular for its unique delayed blowback operation which allows using weapon's high rate of fire with the minimum recoil.

— In-game description
The Vector .45 ACP is a submachine gun featured in Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege. It was introduced in the Operation Velvet Shell expansion. It is available for use by Mira and Goyo.
Overview[]
The Vector .45 ACP has the highest rate of fire of any submachine gun in the game. The recoil is manageable at close range, but gets more challenging as range increases. Its drawback comes in the form of its magazine size and damage drop off.
As the Vector burns through ammo due to its high rate of fire, it is a good idea to fire in shorter sprays to conserve ammo and to remain more accurate at longer ranges. Equipping a Vertical Grip will decrease recoil even further. While the Vector is very good for close quarters, body shots may still result in emptying the magazine with no kill confirmation, especially at medium to long range.
Pros[]
- Very high rate of fire
- Low vertical recoil
- High damage output
Cons[]
- Low magazine size
- Low single shot damage
- Unpredictable horizontal recoil

Trivia[]
- In-game, the Vector is fitted with a Magpul UBR stock (via an M4 stock adapter) in place of its original stock, and uses Original Magpul 9mm tabs for its magazines.
- The Vector .45 ACP features the magwell and trigger of Gen I models, along with an opening above the barrel similar to them (for an optional SureFire weaponlight). However, the pistol grip is based off of a Vector Gen II, and the safety is akin to the Gen II as well.
- With the Extended Barrel equipped, it's based on the Vector CRB Square Shroud.
- Goyo's Vector has a different default skin compared to Mira's.
