There are plenty of airsoft replica gripods around, you don't need KWA to include on with the Vector.  However, I don't see the point.

I have always thought that grip pods are so ugly.

This.
I plan to get a stubby grip for it, or even a full length grip; provided the full length grip doesn't extend past the bottom of the gun.

Speaking of weight, I noticed on the KWA Vector page that the gun is gonna weigh 6.24 lbs. That's a little heavier than light, huh?

They also suck.
I was playing a backyard night game with my friends and Outlaw, prone with my SR10 using one, and it just broke. One of the legs broke off. I would never buy another one. Now I use a very nice, sturdy bipod and a Magpul RVG on my SR10
My RVG is missing some screws unfortunately! It hasn't fallen off yet though =)

It might come in tan if the real Kriss was still made in tan.

The Tan was the Prototype. You could always duracoat the KWA Kriss.

Yes I agree, Grip pods are fugly.

I'll be both happy and mad if KWA decides later on to release a tan version.  I think a tan version would look better than one simply painted tan.

If they're making tan, they'll have to make the prototype for realism, which means they'll have to redesign the frame as it is different... At least the stock is...

And I doubt they would want to do that

They really don't have to do that.  The real issues concerning realism is scale, function, and quality.  Colors aren't really relevant; I don't believe the real B&T MP9 comes in "Ranger Grey."

No way, tan is where it's at.  I'll probably end up painting mine FDE.

Black=Ninja Like
Ninja Like= Winning

I am having a difficult time deciding whether I should just save for this, or buy the KJW M4 and just hope that I will have enough money for this when it comes out.

That is kind of what I am thinking due to my omgitsakwagunfanboyismnomnomnomnom syndrome, but from what I have heard the KJW M4 was designed by Tanio Koba and is the most durable of any GBBR M4 on the market for its price. I went on gasguns.info, and it basically has its own cult.
