Firearm design work
Renaud Kerbrat has designed a number of firearm actions claimed to eliminate most of the weapon's muzzle jump and recoil, thus making them more controllable during automatic fire. Kerbrat's work as a small arms designer has resulted in several patents being granted by the US Patent Office. The TDI Vector KRISS Vector submachine gun family manufactured in the USA are thus far the only production weapons to use Kerbrat's designs; in this case, the so-called "Super V" system, a blowback action using an off-axis recoil track for the block and bolt.
