It was never mass produced and didnt leave prototype stage making it even more rare. Upgrading it with todays tech would make the gun one of if not the best medium range burst firearm to date. 2100 rpm 🤯
West Germany almost adopted it... then they had to go an reunify with East Germany and suddenly we don't have the money for futuristic super-guns. We've gotta spend it on schools, and roads and other things no one wants!
@@GoldFittyCal It wasn’t its cost exactly. It took forever to develop and by the time they were greenlit for Bundeswehr use in 1990 and the following years, the cold war and reunification was over, Germany was shifting away from its previous military stances and cutting costs everywhere in general, as it was deemed unnecessary and a thing of the past. But if they continued funding the Bundeswehr in the same way this would legitimately be the standard rifle of Germany and thus other European countries today.
That is why they arent here yet ... the paperwork and lack of spare parts is keeping them. In the 60s a new term was created due to the demand of the Bundeswehr for weapon systems which "can do it all"[1] ... the "eierlegende Wollmilchsau" ... egg-laying, wooly milkeable pig. The term is usually used for stuff which had unreasonable expectations for what it can do ... and only 15 years ago (or so) there were some problems with the rifles the Bundeswehr has atm ... because people dont understand that a barrel gets hot after a bit of full-auto-fire and thus not as precise for single shot. [1] The Starfighter was designed as a fighter ... but had to be modified for Germany so it could carry nuclear bombs (provided by the USA) into the territory of the Warsaw Pact; guns are "required" to be a machine gun AND a sniper rifle ... because the bureaucrats in our ministry of defense are PURE BUREAUCRATS with zero clue of anything.
Thank you for your service. I too am a BLOPS veteran as well. I served with my Clan spending most of our time on the rooftops of Kowloon, the streets of Havana and going on night missions in Hanoi. All while avoiding the Radiation Stockpile that Cracked The Berlin wall. We had a great Firing Range that kept us busy as we waited for the Launch of our missions in a small community known as Nuketown.
Yeah I was trapped in this abandoned German theater and I found this rifle in an old mysterious box, truly a lifesaver on Round 7 when I still hadn’t saved for perks
@@Ik7rus Of course it's gonna be hard to find ammo for this thing, the guys who made it probably went back to their home planet after failing to sell their space guns to earthlings
@@GingyyFPS it actually did really well. The biggest problem where that without the bullet case as a heat sink the rifle overheated quickly and fieldstripping was near inpossible. So the G36 was designt to be one of the most reliable assault rifles on the market. Oh and the ammo for the g11 needed more protection from the element then a "normal" round.
Fun fact, it very nearly got adopted by the germans. The contract went through and h&k started producing them the only reason they didn't was because right after the Germans adopted it the Berlin wall fell and all the money had to go rebuilding east Berlin so they adopted the G36 instead
This should make a return. Heckler and Koch needs to bring this back but with a more modern design. It looks so sophisticated to use and it looks like it could punch basketball sized holes into enemies. Please bring this back!
Not only is it unwieldy and kicks like a mule, the interior is more intricately overdesigned than the guts of an swiss pocket watch. This is an interesting and cool gun, but it's incredibly pointless and there's a reason why it went nowhere as a design
@@joaogomes9405 It didnt. It was actaully approved for adoption into the Bundesswer in 1990. The plan was to replace the G3. What killed it was the fall of the Berlin wall. Suddently the Bundesswer ended up having more guns that it ever needed (stocks from GDR) and nobody to point them at. Also the cost. The WG goverment suddenly had a massive expense on its hand - they had to pay GDR's forein dept in order to anex them so many projects got canned. The only remaining customer was the 2nd founder of the project - USA. The US goverment tested the gun and liked it (from what I've read about proving tests). The problem was that the GWB administration was also slashing the budget and the US just came out of Operation Desert Storm which proved to them that the M16 was still good enaugh so they saw no need to replaced it and canceled the project. This is what truly killed it - it came at the wrong time. About the gun itself - yes , i doubt that it whould of been a succesfull rifle becasue of the problems caseless ammo has.
Well, did you know who OTO-Melara is? It's the company that makes naval weaponry for pretty much the entire world, and they are an italian company. Don't forget IVECO (Military vehicles), LEONARDO-Defence Systems (advanced electronics for military uses and upgrade solutions) and Galilei (electro-optical systems), as well as Beretta.
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't, and if follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it know where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.
The G11 from Black Ops 1 was mostly close to the actually G11; the gun in the game had the player chamber a round by use of its interesting charging mechanism. The only part of the gun that was wrong was the fact that the player yanked the mag out of the gun instead of using the mag release, which can be found on top of the gun behind the sights.
You stole this from 2 years ago. From xmetalx59x's comment "damn germans and their fancy space magic." I've outted a thief. Everyone, get yer torches n' pitchforks! Let's runn'em outta town!
It's designed that way. The gun fires 3 rounds before the first one leaves the muzzle on burst mode. As a result , when the recoil hits , it hits with the recoil of all 3 rounds.
Actually, even the mags are amazing. You can stack two mags next to each other, to carry two mags in the gun without having to fish around in your vest. Additionally, the very long mags are probably much more practical than traditional ones, since you can put them next to each other in a layer on your back with a flap to release them on the bottom. And they are half the weight for the same amount of bullets. The only thing missing is actually a way to load them from the sides, pushing the empty mag out on the front of the weapon in the process and a leaver to switch between the two mags, so you get additional 48 rounds with just a flip of a leaver and reload while you can still fire from the secondary mag.
this with 600 rounds of ammunition weighed as much as an m16 with 100 rounds of ammunition on the field. I dont remember where i heard that, maybe on future weapons. very interesting.
@@Elguapoe it is perfect, if you are a german soldier in Germany, while the Sovjets storm your nation and you have to ambush their logistic lines with light weight, small store base and on a run from the enemy. In today war times it seems to be less relevant, BUT the small scale battles of militia in a civilwar, like Syria or Iraq could use such a gun effectivly, because the infantry-trooper could fire more shoots (because he may carry more bullets with this weight, it is better for woman (less weight), it is the doctrine of most less-trained warfare around the world (more bullets yeeting to the enemy without real aiming, just spraying over a ditch) and it is really compact to carry around (perfect for road duty, the sight is at the same time the carry grip)
@@apollomars1678 I'll be honest, if the m-16 was notorious for jamming, while being well maintained, then this thing would be a nightmare for civil war troops.
though the project was cancelled, this weapon was technically a success. It may be costly, but the design and idea of "caseless ammunition" has great potential. In my opinion, this was the greatest rifle that never was.
+RIISCO T The Concorde/commanche problem: It was expensive, it had some operational issues and in the end It did something it was not enough demand for. But ahead of its time? Oh yes.
The only flaw I heard of was that the caseless ammunition couldn't handle rough environments. I don't think cost was an issue. Caseless ammunition would be much cheaper. Edit: There was also a heating problem with ammo cook off. And I read that the residue left behind from the propellant resulted in failures to chamber.
Ebin Menes :D:D So you have no evidence and are just basing this on speculation. Then you misinform others with that speculation. The cost wasn't at all an issue.
Caseless ammunition helps to keep the battlefield neat and tidy. Good thinking! But seriously: I remember in the last years of Cold War, this gun was hot stuff in military magazines. When Cold War ended, the project got dumped almost immediately. German military just didn't have the need for such an expensive new standard rifle so instead they kept using the good old G3 some years more and then went straight to the G36 which was a somehow conventional design. I had almost completely forgotten about the G11. Thanks for the video!
G36 uses 5.56 NATO ammo. That's basically the reason. Which is funny, because now NA forces are trending towards higher calibers again to counter the heavier plates infantry carry. After decades of using 5.56 they're thinking, "Maybe a little more stopping power would be good? Remember 7.62? That was a nice round. Let's make something like that."
@@Secretdawg925 G3 is superior by every metric. They only went to the G36 because it would be cheaper to equip the new reunified army of Germany with that, instead of using the G3.
@@brianjones9780 The G36C is the one that uses the 5.56 NATO round, the regular G36 which is the bigger one you see Bubdeswehr troops training with fires the same 7.62 that the G3 fires. It was just cheaper to equip a larger army with the less expensive G36 than with the G3.
It would always have been somewhat bulky, at least from the trigger backwards, because the quite large action assembly needs to move back in the housing three times for the burst mode.
MITCXHELLXGEIST I am almost positive they nerfed it early on because i remember one bursting people and then it would take two bursts almost every time unless headshots of course. Yeah BO1 was such a good game, fingers crossed that they deliver on BO4 in October.
It's important to note that how terrifying a firearm sounds from a microphone depends on the microphone itself. No microphone so far is able to translate how this gun nor any gun sound in real life.
Thats why I love foreign weapon manufacturers. They always have so unique guns like this thing, the p90, and the xm29. So many new weapons designs, so little time...
Less weight, no waste, no evidence left behind, no questions if your ammo is a "reload". Upgrade it so the primer is replaced by piezoelectric or electric arc igniter. This thing could be kick-ass.
Electric primer is way too unreliable. You have too high fire rate and too small power source, so you can't just overkill the ignition arc to make sure there will no any missfires.
The ammunition manufacturer had to research A LOT to make it work ... and a cartridge is like "a bit of plastic" ... which means it will change over time, thus changing its characteristics. It SOUNDS all nice and peachy in such ADVERTISEMENT FILMS ... but they dont tell you the problems with the gun and ammo.
@@burried_traces tell me what great gun the USA developed lately. the M4 sucks on almost all battlefield its currently deployed. You guys do not even a lightweight (and somewhat modular) bullpup rifle like we in tiny austria or some highly modular gun like the current AK12 system of the Russians. You also lack the digital integration the french pursure with their equipment. The korean K12 will just fucking destroy you. a lot of your police forces even use german handguns so i should not even start talking about them. Tell me what nice rifle you produce thats so much better
@@andrefasching1332 the Bullpup design is unwieldily and good in theory but execution is often poor. We also have the MK14EBR, M16A4, Barrett Rec7, Barrett XM107, MK11 which are some examples of rifles produced in the United States, also the M4 is very modular and reliable the government is just very shit with keeping the M4 properly maintained
As a German I can say this is a typical German story: We invent something cool and throw millions of tax money at it. In the end, politics gets scared and a spontaneous decision is made for something else. See Transrapid for example ...
Germany is a joke today. You guys spent billions on nuclear reactors, unarguably the best source of energy today, then decided to shut them all down permanently because of possible unpopularity among uneducated citizens who don't understand that nuclear energy is safer than natural gas. Straight stupid. Now you guys suck Russia's prick for oil because you guys care more about getting cheap oil than actually doing what's best for Germany and for Europe...
Thats not really the story of this rifle though. The reason this was never adopted was the end of the cold war and german reunification. There was simply no/less need for it any more.
Show the rifle to soldiers: "wow, cool !" Show the firing mechanism to them: "screw that, there is no way to keep that thing clean and working on the field"
I knew someone who took part in the weapons trials at Benning, and he described the H&K ACR prototype as not quite ready for prime time; his big complaint was that it wasn't really soldier-proof. Users could damage of the weapon through the sort of mishaps you could expect from tired men under combat stress. Of all the weapons, he described the Colt ACR prototype as being most combat ready--no real surprise, because the Colt was a slightly tricked-out M16. Nobody particularly liked the duplex ammo for the Colt, though; the Colt reps said it would go to point of aim, but actual performance showed that it would mostly go to point of aim, but it when it didn't, your guess was as good as anyone as to where it really did go.
xXYannuschXx US Army combat reports and studies of those reports made it very very obvious that the average soldier simply can't be very accurate with an automatic rifle firing full caliber rifle rounds. 7.62 NATO is great in light machine guns and designated marksmen's rifles but not so great out of a standard service rifle.
Yeah, but why are you firing full auto in the first place, unless you're trying to lay down cover fire? You're not going to be particularly accurate with a 5.56 on full auto either. More accurate than a 7.62? Sure. Accurate? No.
5.56 have very little recoil compared to 7.62. I've shot both, 5.56 full auto from the hip is kept on target without any real effort you could basically put all 30 round in a fullbody target at close disdtances. 7.62 takes more effort but it is doable even from the shoulder once you get used to it to keep most shots at close to wher you awnt them, at least if you are stronger then my weak ass. :) Although it depends on the gun AK5(FNC) have no problem shooting full auto accurate with 5.56, Ak4 (G3) handles ok with 7.62.
+Joe Blow the thing is, at the distances a full rifle caliber is more effective than intermediate, the average soldier has trouble seeing enemies let alone hitting them. At that point you need either designated marksmen or the use of automatic fire to "cut down" people trying to run from cover to cover. An average soldier using single shots to hit at 500m-700m, with wind and running target lead corrections to make on the fly... The riflemen are hitting the limits of point target fire and about to enter area fire.
This was my weapon of choice when playing COD: Black Ops 1. As a kid I thought this was just some fantasy gun considering the reloading animation, now I’m glad to know this was a real thing (I’m gonna sound like a geek, but this gun and game is what helped my muscle memory adapt to burst round automatics in video games)
It's a shame how such an incredible project was scrapped. I'd love to see it resurfaced, at least as a civilian model, even though the chances of that are beyond slim and none.
A 3 round burst before the recoil pretty much guarantees more rounds on on target. That was the original reasoning behind the first 3 round burst designs
During my military service, my battalion had an open day for civilians and interested parties. The new Flecktarn (we had olive uniforms) and also this Star Wars rifle were exhibited there in our block. We all thought what kind of plastic thing is that?! Back then we still had the HK G3, which I still love to this day.
Alex killa1993 ... yeah we germans bouilt strange things... like the Stg.44 with nightscope or Krummlauf... or the Maus tank... 188 tons of steel.... and so on...
It is OVERENGINEERED ... because the whole problem of the ammunition means it is incompatible with anything else and you could not fit that ammo into the guns mounted on a vehicle or something.
Got to love all these Call of Duty kids "terrible designz, lolz bad gun Black opz!"; most of whom haven't even fired a real weapon - let alone served in military.
Yep, hate it when people think their so right when they don't even know the weapon, man, I play virtual reality too but I don't see the point of complaining about something they never have.
Fun fact these hold a Prohibited status in Canada (basically if you owned one before the law came in you can keep it or sell it to somebody with the appropriate license, but otherwise is illegal) even though there's only a handful in the world, none in Canada and basically no way to create ammo.
- H&K, we want you to design the most modern gun yet. (H&K does exactly that.) - OK, H&K, you took this too literally... just dial it back by half a century or so, and it'll be good.
The G11 seemed to have solved this with requiring much higher ignition temperatures for its propellant. Though I think another rifle just had it ignite electronically rather than through heat.
@@VideoMask93That doesn't solve the issue though, even without a cook-off a gun prone to overheating will be far less reliable and less durable, and that's a big problem when your gun looks like something designed by a flock of swiss watchmakers on meth. And there are still other issues with caseless ammo, like resistance to the elements.
Not necessarily, the project weighs 40% less than the 5.56 round(an already light recoiling round), meaning it is going to have a very light recoil fired in semi automatic.
The recoil is terrible on this weapon. After each burst the weapon flies forward out of the shooters shoulder, you see him reset his aim after every burst. No wonder it was just a prototype....
i mean the whole point was to have precise aim to land 3 shots, reset, and then another. With normal 5.56 a soldier would have to readjust after each shot anyways, so this essentially gives two extra hits per shot if the first bullet was going to hit. Recoil works completely different than in video games, you would be hard pressed to see anyone firing in full-auto for more than a second or mashing the trigger in single fire mode outside of someone with a bipod in a supported position, and even then the purpose is not to deliver precise hits but rather to offer suppressing fire.
All jokes aside, despite this rifles short comings it was actually a very nice idea, needing to carry less weight can increase a soldiers efficiency, even by a little, and having that incredibly fast three round burst with delayed recoil makes it so that you can get more rounds on target.
well... how many rounds do you actually need to kill enemy? 1000? 10000? i know it some really absurdly high number. so being obsessed with 3 rounds in same hole seems really really weird. oh yes no doubt it does bring some advantages.
@@jebise1126the advantage of burst weapons is that you have controlled spread with a regular ammo cost If you have a enemy switching from a cover to another and fires, the 3 rounds have a greater chance to hit the targed in a short window of time than 3 shots in full auto(you feel the recoild after the 1, so the only one that is really precise is the first one vs 2 precise shots of the AN94 or 3 from the G11) And if you need a long range engajament, hyperburst weapon can do a similar work of an marksman rifle, even better sometimes, after all you just need one well placed bullet to kill a soldier, more bullets in the same targe mean more chances to kill it
@@BTechUnitedthat was a myth. The 3 bullets didn't hit the same spot. They were within about 2 inches at 50 yards, same with an94. No gun can put 3 bullets through the same hole unless it's some crazy accurate gun with an olympic shooter behind it.
Aliens buy weapons from the Germans. Why do you think they're so rich? Recently there has been a surge in alien weapon demand which is why the German military has become like this.
Good luck with that... Afaik less then 1000 G11 ever existed. With most of them getting submitted for trials and beein destroyed afterwards and some handed over to the bundeswehr (which means they will never make their way back into the civilian market unless german society collapses) you will have a hard time finding one. I only have seen one example ever, that is in the Museum of Oberndorf, Germany. Not sure if it is deactivated though, I suspect it is.
For all those who intend to pronounce H&Ks name correctly, it is certainly not pronounced "Heckler and Coke". It is "Heckler and Koch". The "ch" in "Koch" is pronounced like in the following video at exactly 0:08 - 0:13 ua-cam.com/video/M3uqlfoU50c/v-deo.html
+islas357 Yep and that is wrong because it is a German word. There is no English pronounciation for it. Or Hebrew or Russian or japanese. It is not a multi language word. It is like as if i would speak English and try to find a German pronounciation for every English word. You would not understand anything i say.
Looking at the rotating bolt in person is CRAZY, it works alot like a AN94 with the Hyper burst. But the problem with the ammo is that it was very very brittle. If not careful, damaged rounds could cook off or cause a misfire. And with the crazy way to clear a malfunction, in combat this would be a NIGHTMARE to deal with
that was acually very easy just rotate the bolt and the unfird round would be ejektet by a plunger that would also feed the next round watch forgoten weapons he ian has a video about the g11 and a mok up of the internals
It was a ton easier to deal with than the AN-94. To clear a jam you'd rotate a lever and the jammed round would drop out the bottom, and to clean it you'd open the back, pull out the mechanism, brush or rinse it off, and put it back in.
It's the most revolutionary personal weapon until now. H&K canceled for a few years ago. Maybe the should try to update it with modern materials. Could be useful.
Zmaul93 The fact is that the g11 is no more but the k11 is now in active service(platoon level) ,even exported ,did see service in Afghanistan and will launch micromissiles. Digital system integration is the real difference,however. The K11 will be integrated into C4ISR infra. Multiple ammunition is also not good for logistics,
When will you idiots stop thinking that "modern materials will make everything better". The mechanism works with the old materials and the only problem - as with every gun - is OVERHEATING, but due to the complexity AND ALL the heat energy staying inside the gun, this is something that cant really be solved. There is a reason why the Soviet-Union overran Nazi Germany ... and it is that SIMPLER TANKS MEANS MORE TANKS. Overengineering is BAD and needs to be restrained to a sensible level.
@@jameson7276 For a German it sounds very weird. It‘s not the only German company. The pronouncing of Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Adidas for examples is also very different.
German here, the offial H & K website states that its pronounced Coke in english and thats understandable because its not that easy to pronounce for non germans.
There is an ejection port right underneath the feeding mechanism. Although it was hard to use, as the brittle case could get jammed in the feeding mechanism. One of the huge drawbacks of this gun.
I remember reading an article in about 1991 where U.S. Army was testing weapons for a new main assault rifle and this was one of the candidates. It looked like it came from Space Marines.

@@cyborgslayer2552 yeah well when you’re just a random bum who stays at home all day cleaning it then that’s understandable... no gun jams under those circumstances... now, if you’re in combat, in the Middle East and in the middle of a battle, you can’t just say “time out” to make sure your gun is clean. What a moronic comparison. There’s a reason the AK is still considered better than ARs... consistency. I rather my gun not jam on me than have a POS American gun get me killed.
@@recklesssquirel5962 they’re not even comparable… I see why you’d say that but these are 2 platforms that operate differently. You could never say they’re equals.

I’d tell you to ask most soldiers who’ve experienced both and aren’t biased. Americans will always try to compare the AR… the world knows which is the superior platform. If you can’t shoot and need handicaps then go AR, if you can shoot and need a better weapon to reach your higher potential which the AR limits, grab the AK.

I wish this didn't get ditched. Seems like a super cool design, even if it is built like a watch on the inside.
*time machine
one of the worst guns made, but cool idea
@@GingyyFPS it actually did really well. The biggest problem where that without the bullet case as a heat sink the rifle overheated quickly and fieldstripping was near inpossible.
So the G36 was designt to be one of the most reliable assault rifles on the market.
Oh and the ammo for the g11 needed more protection from the element then a "normal" round.
A watch is an understatement.
Fun fact, it very nearly got adopted by the germans. The contract went through and h&k started producing them the only reason they didn't was because right after the Germans adopted it the Berlin wall fell and all the money had to go rebuilding east Berlin so they adopted the G36 instead
This should make a return. Heckler and Koch needs to bring this back but with a more modern design. It looks so sophisticated to use and it looks like it could punch basketball sized holes into enemies. Please bring this back!
This rifle looks like they ran outta budget on a shitty Si-fi movie
more modern design? like the outfit of MGK at the AMAs?
Not only is it unwieldy and kicks like a mule, the interior is more intricately overdesigned than the guts of an swiss pocket watch. This is an interesting and cool gun, but it's incredibly pointless and there's a reason why it went nowhere as a design
@@joaogomes9405 It didnt. It was actaully approved for adoption into the Bundesswer in 1990. The plan was to replace the G3. What killed it was the fall of the Berlin wall. Suddently the Bundesswer ended up having more guns that it ever needed (stocks from GDR) and nobody to point them at.
Also the cost. The WG goverment suddenly had a massive expense on its hand - they had to pay GDR's forein dept in order to anex them so many projects got canned.
The only remaining customer was the 2nd founder of the project - USA. The US goverment tested the gun and liked it (from what I've read about proving tests).
The problem was that the GWB administration was also slashing the budget and the US just came out of Operation Desert Storm which proved to them that the M16 was still good enaugh so they saw no need to replaced it and canceled the project.
This is what truly killed it - it came at the wrong time.
About the gun itself - yes , i doubt that it whould of been a succesfull rifle becasue of the problems caseless ammo has.
Id say other way around. Make it an actually viable interior that can be easily maintained, but keep the look. Its perfect.

This sounds like the dude that narrated the missile knows where it is
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't, and if follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't. In the event that the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. The variation being the difference between where the missile is and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too may be corrected by the GEA. However, the missile must also know where it was. The missile guidance computer scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information that the missile has obtained, it is not sure just where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it know where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't, or vice versa. And by differentiating this from the algebraic sum of where it shouldn't be and where it was, it is able to obtain the deviation and its variation, which is called error.

The G11 from Black Ops 1 was mostly close to the actually G11; the gun in the game had the player chamber a round by use of its interesting charging mechanism. The only part of the gun that was wrong was the fact that the player yanked the mag out of the gun instead of using the mag release, which can be found on top of the gun behind the sights.
Gee wilickers! Thanks, Poindexter! 😂

Judging by the guy in the demonstration it also apparently has the recoil of a 50 cal.
I mean, in 3 round burst you get hit by the recoil of all 3 rounds at once, so that explains the larger recoil
recoil is delayed until all 3 rounds are fired, so its the same as 3 shots added together
I noticed that. Yikes
It's designed that way. The gun fires 3 rounds before the first one leaves the muzzle on burst mode. As a result , when the recoil hits , it hits with the recoil of all 3 rounds.

Actually, even the mags are amazing. You can stack two mags next to each other, to carry two mags in the gun without having to fish around in your vest. Additionally, the very long mags are probably much more practical than traditional ones, since you can put them next to each other in a layer on your back with a flap to release them on the bottom.
And they are half the weight for the same amount of bullets.
The only thing missing is actually a way to load them from the sides, pushing the empty mag out on the front of the weapon in the process and a leaver to switch between the two mags, so you get additional 48 rounds with just a flip of a leaver and reload while you can still fire from the secondary mag.
Nice..... Comment ....sir...
this with 600 rounds of ammunition weighed as much as an m16 with 100 rounds of ammunition on the field. I dont remember where i heard that, maybe on future weapons. very interesting.
@@Elguapoe it is perfect, if you are a german soldier in Germany, while the Sovjets storm your nation and you have to ambush their logistic lines with light weight, small store base and on a run from the enemy.
In today war times it seems to be less relevant, BUT the small scale battles of militia in a civilwar, like Syria or Iraq could use such a gun effectivly, because the infantry-trooper could fire more shoots (because he may carry more bullets with this weight, it is better for woman (less weight), it is the doctrine of most less-trained warfare around the world (more bullets yeeting to the enemy without real aiming, just spraying over a ditch) and it is really compact to carry around (perfect for road duty, the sight is at the same time the carry grip)
@@apollomars1678 I'll be honest, if the m-16 was notorious for jamming, while being well maintained, then this thing would be a nightmare for civil war troops.

though the project was cancelled, this weapon was technically a success. It may be costly, but the design and idea of "caseless ammunition" has great potential. In my opinion, this was the greatest rifle that never was.
+RIISCO T The Concorde/commanche problem: It was expensive, it had some operational issues and in the end It did something it was not enough demand for. But ahead of its time? Oh yes.
Leave the video to do the explaining
The only flaw I heard of was that the caseless ammunition couldn't handle rough environments. I don't think cost was an issue. Caseless ammunition would be much cheaper.
Edit: There was also a heating problem with ammo cook off. And I read that the residue left behind from the propellant resulted in failures to chamber.
What makes it expensive?

It's not that ugly, It could have been pretty if it was adopted.
the g11 looks cool, and it's not like there hadn't been weird functioning guns before. The p90 was very weird in how it worked.
Caseless ammunition helps to keep the battlefield neat and tidy. Good thinking! But seriously: I remember in the last years of Cold War, this gun was hot stuff in military magazines. When Cold War ended, the project got dumped almost immediately. German military just didn't have the need for such an expensive new standard rifle so instead they kept using the good old G3 some years more and then went straight to the G36 which was a somehow conventional design. I had almost completely forgotten about the G11. Thanks for the video!
G36 is fire
G36 uses 5.56 NATO ammo. That's basically the reason. Which is funny, because now NA forces are trending towards higher calibers again to counter the heavier plates infantry carry. After decades of using 5.56 they're thinking, "Maybe a little more stopping power would be good? Remember 7.62? That was a nice round. Let's make something like that."
Yeah cause that’s what we need to worry about with war, keeping the battlefield neat and tidy.
@@Secretdawg925 G3 is superior by every metric. They only went to the G36 because it would be cheaper to equip the new reunified army of Germany with that, instead of using the G3.
@@brianjones9780 The G36C is the one that uses the 5.56 NATO round, the regular G36 which is the bigger one you see Bubdeswehr troops training with fires the same 7.62 that the G3 fires. It was just cheaper to equip a larger army with the less expensive G36 than with the G3.

No
It's a prototype. Only the mechanism was the focus. The outer design would have changed drastically.
It would always have been somewhat bulky, at least from the trigger backwards, because the quite large action assembly needs to move back in the housing three times for the burst mode.

The sound it makes during the burst fire is terrifying. Truly sounds like some kind of future space weapon.
It's important to note that how terrifying a firearm sounds from a microphone depends on the microphone itself. No microphone so far is able to translate how this gun nor any gun sound in real life.

Less weight, no waste, no evidence left behind, no questions if your ammo is a "reload". Upgrade it so the primer is replaced by piezoelectric or electric arc igniter. This thing could be kick-ass.
Electric primer is way too unreliable. You have too high fire rate and too small power source, so you can't just overkill the ignition arc to make sure there will no any missfires.
The ammunition manufacturer had to research A LOT to make it work ... and a cartridge is like "a bit of plastic" ... which means it will change over time, thus changing its characteristics.

I knew someone who took part in the weapons trials at Benning, and he described the H&K ACR prototype as not quite ready for prime time; his big complaint was that it wasn't really soldier-proof. Users could damage of the weapon through the sort of mishaps you could expect from tired men under combat stress.
Of all the weapons, he described the Colt ACR prototype as being most combat ready--no real surprise, because the Colt was a slightly tricked-out M16. Nobody particularly liked the duplex ammo for the Colt, though; the Colt reps said it would go to point of aim, but actual performance showed that it would mostly go to point of aim, but it when it didn't, your guess was as good as anyone as to where it really did go.
Ken Prescott They should have improved the HK G3 instead. That thing was beast with 7.62mm...
xXYannuschXx US Army combat reports and studies of those reports made it very very obvious that the average soldier simply can't be very accurate with an automatic rifle firing full caliber rifle rounds. 7.62 NATO is great in light machine guns and designated marksmen's rifles but not so great out of a standard service rifle.
Yeah, but why are you firing full auto in the first place, unless you're trying to lay down cover fire? You're not going to be particularly accurate with a 5.56 on full auto either. More accurate than a 7.62? Sure. Accurate? No.
5.56 have very little recoil compared to 7.62. I've shot both, 5.56 full auto from the hip is kept on target without any real effort you could basically put all 30 round in a fullbody target at close disdtances. 7.62 takes more effort but it is doable even from the shoulder once you get used to it to keep most shots at close to wher you awnt them, at least if you are stronger then my weak ass. :) Although it depends on the gun AK5(FNC) have no problem shooting full auto accurate with 5.56, Ak4 (G3) handles ok with 7.62.
+Joe Blow the thing is, at the distances a full rifle caliber is more effective than intermediate, the average soldier has trouble seeing enemies let alone hitting them. At that point you need either designated marksmen or the use of automatic fire to "cut down" people trying to run from cover to cover. An average soldier using single shots to hit at 500m-700m, with wind and running target lead corrections to make on the fly... The riflemen are hitting the limits of point target fire and about to enter area fire.
This was my weapon of choice when playing COD: Black Ops 1. As a kid I thought this was just some fantasy gun considering the reloading animation, now I’m glad to know this was a real thing (I’m gonna sound like a geek, but this gun and game is what helped my muscle memory adapt to burst round automatics in video games)
Damn that sound of the burst is the sexiest sound I've ever heard
It's a shame how such an incredible project was scrapped. I'd love to see it resurfaced, at least as a civilian model, even though the chances of that are beyond slim and none.
A 3 round burst before the recoil pretty much guarantees more rounds on on target. That was the original reasoning behind the first 3 round burst designs
During my military service, my battalion had an open day for civilians and interested parties. The new Flecktarn (we had olive uniforms) and also this Star Wars rifle were exhibited there in our block. We all thought what kind of plastic thing is that?! Back then we still had the HK G3, which I still love to this day.

Problem with caseless ammo is the issue of overheating the gun, the casing gets rid of a lot of heat
The G11 seemed to have solved this with requiring much higher ignition temperatures for its propellant. Though I think another rifle just had it ignite electronically rather than through heat.
@@VideoMask93That doesn't solve the issue though, even without a cook-off a gun prone to overheating will be far less reliable and less durable, and that's a big problem when your gun looks like something designed by a flock of swiss watchmakers on meth.

Syphon filter 2 weapon..old good memories 💪🏻💪🏻
Ah yes, the black ops memories are strong with this one.
Yep. The gun everyone refused to pick up
That recoil is gonna kick the soldier's face in
Not necessarily, the project weighs 40% less than the 5.56 round(an already light recoiling round), meaning it is going to have a very light recoil fired in semi automatic.
Guoenyi This recoil is for the three round burst. For one round shot or for full auto the recoul is negligable.
The recoil is only felt after all three bullets have left the barrel. It does not hamper accuracy at all.
The recoil is terrible on this weapon. After each burst the weapon flies forward out of the shooters shoulder, you see him reset his aim after every burst. No wonder it was just a prototype....
i mean the whole point was to have precise aim to land 3 shots, reset, and then another. With normal 5.56 a soldier would have to readjust after each shot anyways, so this essentially gives two extra hits per shot if the first bullet was going to hit. Recoil works completely different than in video games, you would be hard pressed to see anyone firing in full-auto for more than a second or mashing the trigger in single fire mode outside of someone with a bipod in a supported position, and even then the purpose is not to deliver precise hits but rather to offer suppressing fire.
All jokes aside, despite this rifles short comings it was actually a very nice idea, needing to carry less weight can increase a soldiers efficiency, even by a little, and having that incredibly fast three round burst with delayed recoil makes it so that you can get more rounds on target.
well... how many rounds do you actually need to kill enemy? 1000? 10000? i know it some really absurdly high number. so being obsessed with 3 rounds in same hole seems really really weird.
oh yes no doubt it does bring some advantages.
@@jebise1126 moving targets are much easier to hit with this system when you fire an accurate bullet line in front of a running target.
@@jebise1126 Part of the concept of landing multiple shots in the same place was to improve ability against body armour and future developments of it.
@@jebise1126the advantage of burst weapons is that you have controlled spread with a regular ammo cost
If you have a enemy switching from a cover to another and fires, the 3 rounds have a greater chance to hit the targed in a short window of time than 3 shots in full auto(you feel the recoild after the 1, so the only one that is really precise is the first one vs 2 precise shots of the AN94 or 3 from the G11)
And if you need a long range engajament, hyperburst weapon can do a similar work of an marksman rifle, even better sometimes, after all you just need one well placed bullet to kill a soldier, more bullets in the same targe mean more chances to kill it
@@BTechUnitedthat was a myth. The 3 bullets didn't hit the same spot. They were within about 2 inches at 50 yards, same with an94. No gun can put 3 bullets through the same hole unless it's some crazy accurate gun with an olympic shooter behind it.

Great, the video shows graphs til the end but non-deletable pop-up-s hide it.
Looking at the rotating bolt in person is CRAZY, it works alot like a AN94 with the Hyper burst. But the problem with the ammo is that it was very very brittle. If not careful, damaged rounds could cook off or cause a misfire. And with the crazy way to clear a malfunction, in combat this would be a NIGHTMARE to deal with
an94 makes me hard
that was acually very easy just rotate the bolt and the unfird round would be ejektet by a plunger that would also feed the next round
watch forgoten weapons he ian has a video about the g11 and a mok up of the internals
It was a ton easier to deal with than the AN-94. To clear a jam you'd rotate a lever and the jammed round would drop out the bottom, and to clean it you'd open the back, pull out the mechanism, brush or rinse it off, and put it back in.

xxwzaebd you realise that the development of the g11 started in 1968
Zmaul93 The fact is that the g11 is no more but the k11 is now in active service(platoon level) ,even exported ,did see service in Afghanistan and will launch micromissiles. Digital system integration is the real difference,however. The K11 will be integrated into C4ISR infra. Multiple ammunition is also not good for logistics,
A GoFundMe Heckler & Koch G11 K3 you say? :D
When will you idiots stop thinking that "modern materials will make everything better". The mechanism works with the old materials and the only problem - as with every gun - is OVERHEATING, but due to the complexity AND ALL the heat energy staying inside the gun, this is something that cant really be solved.
There is a reason why the Soviet-Union overran Nazi Germany ... and it is that SIMPLER TANKS MEANS MORE TANKS. Overengineering is BAD and needs to be restrained to a sensible level.
Ah yes the gun you reload in the front from black ops 1
No, not Hitler and Coke, also not Hickler and Coach. Why the fuck is this so hard to pronounce?

Heckler & Coke, wer kennt es nicht 😂
H & K sagt uns, dass wir es so aussprechen sollen. Entschuldigung, wenn das komisch klingt, Google Translate.
@@jameson7276 For a German it sounds very weird. It‘s not the only German company. The pronouncing of Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, Adidas for examples is also very different.
@@drinnennurTassen YT kann für den einen mächtig sein, die anderen verblödet es nur.
German here, the offial H & K website states that its pronounced Coke in english and thats understandable because its not that easy to pronounce for non germans.
@@Atlas-zm6bn Mir ist es egal wie die englischsprachigen es aussprechen, falsch bleibt falsch.
DENN "Loch Ness" können sie aussprechen! oder nicht?!
Clark’s favorite weapon in Numbers
007 and some serious split-screen action.. good ol' days
Love this weapon, so cool and well designed
That caseless ammo must dirty the rifle pretty fast!
Twiggy the lizard not really how I read
Did they solve the heating and premature ignition issues of ceaseless ammunition?
epic cruelty squad gun
it absolutely fucks early game
First saw this on Forgotten Weapons, what a beautifully designed rifle.
Two please!
The RoboCop Rifle to compliment his Auto-9 pistol.
What would happen if a round was chambered, but failed to fire? with no ejection port, wouldn't this be an issue to extract?
There is an ejection port right underneath the feeding mechanism. Although it was hard to use, as the brittle case could get jammed in the feeding mechanism. One of the huge drawbacks of this gun.
It would be extracted via Kraut magic.
Dude, this is a german weapon, it doesn t fail, we know engineering
Kopfklopfer throw some sand in it and anything will fail.
That's for literally every Weapon/Machine...
I remember reading an article in about 1991 where U.S. Army was testing weapons for a new main assault rifle and this was one of the candidates. It looked like it came from Space Marines. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Also there was another weapon they were testing from Steyr and funny enough also had a futuristic sci fi vibe to it. They ended up not choosing any of the 4 weapons described in the article.
idk what the other is but i wish americans switched from m4 to xm8
@@phantom4E2 I remember the other 3 weapons at the time being Steyr, one was bascially Colt like M 16 but kind of modified with some stuff added on top - I've never seen that weapon again ever and then one was called something like AAL or ALL and I believe it resembled the SAR 80 Assault rifle a little bit. :D
Ah yes, the signature _“Got something to say before you die?”_ weapon. If you’re lucky enough to even have him talk to you…
Black ops
paco hers Hell yeah
DaRealCarlos \ it is really good on mp, specially with the trusty low-power scope attached
Gotta admit it was pretty darn cool to play arround with this gun even tho it never came to be IRL.

Yes, that's how you pronounce it. Good job.
Got a Girls Frontline ad immediately after this. All hail the sleepy queen!

I would bring back the Berlin wall for the G11. Imagine being the first UA-camr to get this with a box of ammo.
It hurts my eyes to look at.
The gun is so futuristic that America decided " no, my m16 that jams is still better "
I've never had an m16 jam on me, maybe you should take better care of your tools or not buy cheap knockoffs...
Nearly every gun can jam, especially experimental ones such as the G11 here
@@cyborgslayer2552 yeah well when you’re just a random bum who stays at home all day cleaning it then that’s understandable... no gun jams under those circumstances... now, if you’re in combat, in the Middle East and in the middle of a battle, you can’t just say “time out” to make sure your gun is clean. What a moronic comparison. There’s a reason the AK is still considered better than ARs... consistency. I rather my gun not jam on me than have a POS American gun get me killed.
@@chacorta7901 at the least theyre considered equals.
@@recklesssquirel5962 they’re not even comparable… I see why you’d say that but these are 2 platforms that operate differently. You could never say they’re equals. You have those big UA-cam channels that compare the guns but those guys never know what they’re talking about hence why they do UA-cam for a living. I’d tell you to ask most soldiers who’ve experienced both and aren’t biased. Americans will always try to compare the AR… the world knows which is the superior platform. If you can’t shoot and need handicaps then go AR, if you can shoot and need a better weapon to reach your higher potential which the AR limits, grab the AK. Even when shooting for fun, don’t know how people can choose the AR… probably just an ego thing where they think they have good aim.
