Only 27 have been build between 1989 and 1990. I think one costs roundabout 200 thousand Dollars today. The development has cost adjusted for inflation, $ 120 million was paid by German taxpayers, but still the weapon was never delivered to the German Army, although they wanted them. A cartridge costs 5 dollar today. That is 225 dollars for a single magazine.
Angle Dias Angle, all understandable, but I just find it (at least somewhat) that after producing a thousand of these rifles they didn't at least put them in service with the KSKs or something. But I'm not Deutsche, so I dunno, I'd have to ask someone in the Budeswehr (as if they'd tell me though lel).
they stompt the project after the brakedown of the udssr. 1990 and reunited germany dont wanted this really expensive rifle not any longer for the Bundeswehr, after pushing so much tax money in the development. impressive was the firepower in tripleshot mode way over 2000shots/minute but the overheating problem was never solved....and so 10 years later we get the g36
that's the special feature of this gun, three round burst with over 2000 rpm, of course you get a lot of recoil, but in this design the recoil only hits you after the bullets left the magazine, so the three rounds you fired will be accurate
One of the more amazing things with this rifle is the rate of fire. For every recoil impulse you see pushing against the shooter, 3 rounds have gone down range. Awesome stuff!
its an extremely clever design, when firing 3 round burst @ 2000rpm, only possible beacause of the caseless ammo as it removes the ejection part of the firing cycle, the shooter feels the recoil AFTER the 3rd round has been fired so the 3 bullets land in the target, with a regular rifle like m4, ak etc... you feel the recoil of each fired bullet so the 2nd and 3rd bullets will spread more
MrPathorn Yep that was the main issue or is still is with caseless ammo tech. From what i heard is that they're trying to add some sort of water system that covers the barrel so it doesnt. Some spec op units are starting to test a type of AR caseless chambered in 6.5 mm.
That was never the case with the G11. The caseless ammunition it was chambered for used HITP (High Ignition Temperature Propellant) to prevent cookoff. The G11 never had issues with cookoff when being evaluated by the Bundeswehr and the American ACR program. The reason it wasn't adopted was due to budget cuts as a result of the reunification of Germany.
AFAIK, they also had problems that the ammunition chipped, which led to feeding malfunctions, similar to the plastic cases of the Steyer ACR. I bet long term storage of these rounds was another problem...
@4HeartsChelsea no need to extract the bullet which both allows for higher firing rates and a cleaner action (no dirt can come in through the breech) also the weight and cost of the ammo is reduced significantly
@iDestroyXBOXS It's how the magazine is reloaded, not the weapon. Ammunition was delivered with the weapon in sealed 15 round reload units. Unlike conventional bulk pack ammo, this means you can restore 15 rounds to the magazine in one go, rather than thumbing them in one by one, loose. The weapon has three magazines of 45 rounds ready to go at any time, and the soldier could carry 2-3x the shot count compared to 5.56mm SS109 in the same weight.
@link000000 It fires regular bullets but it uses caseless ammo so it does not eject any brass because the "casing" desintegrates after the bullet is fired.
I only want a few things in life - To hold an M1 Carbine (done) - To own an M1 Garand - To shoot an MP40 - To do any of the three, with this wonderful beauty The G11 is absolutely gorgeous, looks great and is a reliable weapon from what I gather, and I'm in love with it.
@Keh0ol No the ammo was just as important as the gun. It was caseless, therefore no shells were ejected and the gun could fire at a much higher rate of fire with lower recoil and increased accuracy
@harrier150 If you read about it on wiki it actually shoots 3 rounds before the recoil action completes - the 3 round burst is rated at about 2000 rpm. Only possible because of caseless ammo.
@aznboi992 The rounds are standing vertical in the magazine. I am pretty sure as I always understood it, without seeing the internals in operation, that is the slide, or chamber mechanism. When you rotate it forward it works like a lock tumbler pulling the first round down and into the tumbler which rotates it forward as you crank, chambering the round(s) ready for fire
@RRVCrinale that was only a problem with the prototype ammunition the final design of the ammunition had no problematic cook off issues also there is no extraction cycle here which in fact significantly reduces the risk of jamming in the first place
@RRVCrinale its an important prototype that will be revisited when technologie advanced enough for this design to be efficient and acctually working under prolonged combat conditions
@peepeevagi you can legally get fully automatic guns in the US. It just requires an additional tax (around $200 i think) along with a longer waiting period, intensive paperwork, and you have to give fingerprints to the government. Thats what I heard from a gunsmith at least.
@pointblancstudio Yeah but one of the most revolutionary firearms in the world. It can shoot 3 round bursts so fast, that you barely can hear the sound of each bullet of the 3. The recoil is also delayed so the gun kicks when the last round ignites. Because of that, the gun is extremely accurate on burst fire mode. More pros, the ammunition weighs less because the gun uses caseless ammunition. I wonder why germany cancelled it, IMO it is maybe the best assault rifle in the world.
Part of the US advanced combat rifle program, this is a very unique weapon. It uses caseless ammunition, but due to its fire rate, has potential for the rounds to 'cook off', firing without intention. It's a cool gun, but it's also rather bulky for the soldier.
@TheFalse200 The chambering system's even weirder. The entire breech block rotates 90 degrees vertically to accommodate the vertical magazine feed, swinging up and down with the action. Part of how it recoil-compensates and feeds so rapidly. Amazing engineering. And yes, it is expensive, part of the reason why it was never deployed; think of the costs to replace ammo stockpiles, rifles with a pricetag six times that of an old 16... gun before its time, this one. Beautiful engineering, though.
This is the ultimate 80s early 90s gun. The shape and everything looks like something out of Schwarzenegger film, and the optics look like they belong to that old video camera my dad had then...I want one, too bad caseless ammo didn't make it, maybe someday.
@sandiegodrummer The cartridges (Or in this case, rounds; There is no cartridge) are square, the bullet is otherwise a conventional round Spitzer shape. Square rounds ease mechanical handling a bit, and make for more efficient use of space in packaging. Because the cartridge does not have to resist firing pressure like ordinary brass cases, it can be any shape.
@R3146C no they let dynamit nobel develop a new high temperature propellant which worked perfectly well with the g11 the design was finalised and it was ready to be delivered in large quantities to the bundeswehr in 1990
@nutleyoleo yeah the prototype did indeed have cook-off issues the production model at least didn't have that problem anymore due to a new propellant used overheating could still have been an issue but since the german army was planning to buy them in large quantities after extensive field tests it probably was within tolerances
@dexter12322222222222 you have caseless amunition stored on top of the firing group (barrel, chamber, breech aso.) the rounds are stored in a 90° angle vertically to the barrel to chamber a round the breech is tilted upwards 90° and a bullet is pushed into the breech it will then be tilted back down to align the bullet with the barrel the bolt fires the bullet and the breech tilts back up to accept the next bullet while the first bullet is leaving the muzzle
@KLove3232 the plus sides: -you can fire burst like it was single fire (same accuracy) -you can carry 66% more ammunition (compared to 5.56 nato) due to the lower weight and smaller size -it doesn't have an ejection port thus is less prone to jamming and pollution from the outside -last but not least: brass is very expensive higher recoil in this case only because it combines the recoil of 3 bullets in burst fire single fire should be less or comparable recoil to 5.56
@dexter12322222222222 since this is working with caseless ammunition the extraction cycle doesn't take place and time can be saved after the shot is fired the firing group (which "floats" in the weapon on a rail) will be pushed backwards absorbing the recoil until it reaches the end of its rail during burst fire 3 bullets are fired while the firing group is still being pushed backwards from the recoil this delays the recoil until all 3 bullets have left the muzzle increasing accuracy of bursts
@FRURMELLL That and its cook-off, especially after using its three-round burst mode. It was terrible at dissipating heat and that would have caused rounds to just fire by themselves, especially because the G11 is caseless and thus has no casings for containing the heat somehow. Its design also doesn't take into account what happens if and when the weapon jams, and despite what BlOps tells us, the gun was never really designed with iron sights. Still a significant gun, though.
@NonDairyYogurt actually the whole point of the G11 was to create a new weapon for the bundeswehr believe it or not but the caseless ammunition was nothing but a side effect in order to achieve a high rate of fire in burst (and thus high rates of accuracy... one of the main specifications the german army wanted to see realised in this gun) HK decided to eliminate the extraction cycle and thus started using caseless ammunition for the design of the G11
@AirsoftingSuccess There were no casings. The G11 is one of the first near-practical assault rifles to use caseless ammo; the block covering the rounds is actually solid propellant. I say near practical because the propellant, being uninsulated from the heat that built up in the weapon's chamber, very often cooked off, inevitably dooming the G11 to being cancelled in the prototype stage.
Hi, Its uses the H&K 4.73×33mm Caseless ammunition. As I heard its 3.33 g and approx. 920 m/s fast, and also have an energy of 1410 J. This type of ammo weigths much less than any conventional, so you can pack more bullets for the same weight. However, as I heard these ammos are fragile, and does not have high heat resistance, its about 170°C. However I Never shot one, so Im just speaking like an idiot :D of course for more informations google "caseless ammunition" etc.. hope this helps. :]
@iJohnGame Well, not sure about stopping power and penetration regarding the ammunition, but overall size seems fine, compact, and recoil doesn't look that bad... Regarding reliability, not sure, but it do looks reliable... I'd say it would fare well in a close combat situation.
@razedeezy and if you havent noticed there are 2 more mags in the front of the gun, so its easyer to reaload. SEE THERE ARE 2 MORE MAGS NEXT TO THE MAG THAT IS BEING USED *guy screaming in your ear*
@0neDoomedSpaceMarine yeah, but it was really expensive to make. If you read about it, they said it was discontinued because it wasn't cost effective for military/police.
@Aqueries44 It most definitely has more recoil than say a m4, but your right you won't feel it until those three shots are way down range. Although, that is not something exclusive to the g11, most 3 round and 2 round burst firearms recoil will hit you way after those bullets are downrange. The AN-94 is of the more interesting firearms that comes to mind.
@TheFalse200 Molded blocks of high temperature explosive material. No joke. It's very shiny. Bullet's inset into a nose cavity in a "cartridge" of fully combustible propellant. Individual rounds look a bit like square wax crayons (Some were even orange).
the special heat resistant propellant developed by dynamit nobel in the 80ies had no more issues with cook off than regular cased ammunition the g11 went through extensive field trials and was to be ordered by the thousands
@Keh0ol You could say that that 100 caliber musket balls were "absorbed" by the metal breast plates early on, but the gigantic dent of a metal breast plate was infact just as bad if not worse than the penetrating of flesh, thats why musketeers were not given armor. even though musket balls have more chance of staying in the body, as opposed to armor piercing rifle rounds that go clean through without making much damage, for the record, 50AE would fragment best, causing more internal damage.
@chokolatpie What are you talking about? The G11 has way more recoil then say an m4 or an ak. It's an very smart design but after all is said and done it's just too impractical. The only plus side i can see is you can save some brass, but who knows how much that special caseless propellent is. It might just be cheaper to use conventional ammo. It's still a cool gun.
Pinpoint accurate, fantastically reliable, and in "burst" mode (3 rounds) the last bullet leaves the barrel before any recoil is felt.....so 3 rounds are as accurate as a single round. Absolutely RIDICULOUS technology. Germany simply ran out of money to develop it after reunification.
@Keh0ol The german army (Bundeswehr) had launched the G11 in the early nineties, when the Berlin Wall HAD NOT fallen and the cold war would continue. But the Berlin Wall was fallen and the cold war ended later. The project was abandoned because it was too EXPENSIVE and the threat posed by the Warsaw Pact was missing. The Bundeswehr decided on the G36, it was cheaper.
@SelkitFox ok, first off yes i have handled a firearm before, I happen to own an AR15 K23 (pistol), an AK47 bullpup(yes an ak47 bullpup), and a beautiful Colt 1911 .45. Yes i am fully aware that it is a "magazine" not a clip, and should never be referred to as a "clip" and all that other great technical jargin. mind you at first glance I only noticed the one magazine. I was only mentioning that at a quick glance it seems complicated until familiarized with the weapon. And I dont own an XBox
@Keh0ol 1. Yeah, I'm quite sure that any bullet for killing humans will be stopped when you're using highest class protection. 2. it may or may not be 2-3 cm deep, but thats 2-3 cm deep over a large area, it could break multiple ribs and it could cause organ damage from the looks of the depth and size of that dent. 3. if your saying that a 50AE has a 6/10 fraction of that power, then my original discussion is correct because the 22lr could never do that, the trauma on that armor is massive.
@ParkWayDrive011111 i think it does a great job at absorbing (so do the testers involved) the result with anything less than that keramic plate would be a gaping hole in the chest rather than a 2 cm deep dent
I am SO jealous of the guy firing the gun, I mean he is in every video and he gets to test out all the military armaments without having to do training in all of them! he probably is in the japanese military though...

Step 1. Put side arm in mouth
How to field strip a G11:
Get an engineering degree. Otherwise, send it back to H&K.
FRICKIN KRAUT SPACE MAGIC.
Interesting to hear about guns in Japanese, considering their comparatively draconian laws involving firearms and their limited military.
It has almost no fucking recoil, has insane rate of fire and looks like from Star Wars. Why would you fucking scrap that project?

The only plus side i can see is you can save some brass, but who knows how much that special caseless propellent is. It might just be cheaper to use conventional ammo. It's still a cool gun.
amazing how this gun fires non brass case bullets, genius design
Pinpoint accurate, fantastically reliable, and in "burst" mode (3 rounds) the last bullet leaves the barrel before any recoil is felt.....so 3 rounds are as accurate as a single round. Absolutely RIDICULOUS technology. Germany simply ran out of money to develop it after reunification.
a rifle ahead of its time
@Keh0ol
The german army (Bundeswehr) had launched the G11 in the early nineties, when
the Berlin Wall HAD NOT fallen and the cold war would continue. But
the Berlin Wall was fallen and the cold war ended later.
The project was abandoned because it was too EXPENSIVE and
the threat posed by the Warsaw Pact was missing.
The Bundeswehr decided on the G36, it was cheaper.
its beautifull
@SelkitFox ok, first off yes i have handled a firearm before, I happen to own an AR15 K23 (pistol), an AK47 bullpup(yes an ak47 bullpup), and a beautiful Colt 1911 .45. Yes i am fully aware that it is a "magazine" not a clip, and should never be referred to as a "clip" and all that other great technical jargin. mind you at first glance I only noticed the one magazine. I was only mentioning that at a quick glance it seems complicated until familiarized with the weapon. And I dont own an XBox
HOW DOES THIS SHIT WORK TELL ME
@Keh0ol 1. Yeah, I'm quite sure that any bullet for killing humans will be stopped when you're using highest class protection.
2. it may or may not be 2-3 cm deep, but thats 2-3 cm deep over a large area, it could break multiple ribs and it could cause organ damage from the looks of the depth and size of that dent.
3. if your saying that a 50AE has a 6/10 fraction of that power, then my original discussion is correct because the 22lr could never do that, the trauma on that armor is massive.
I love the sound the magazine makes when he but in the bullets (press 5)
Is it just me, or is this THE perfect gun for "alternate history" fiction set in Earth's near future?
最高の兵器G11
What a Beautiful Gun! This Makes up for True Clean Marksmanship!
@ParkWayDrive011111 i think it does a great job at absorbing (so do the testers involved)
the result with anything less than that keramic plate would be a gaping hole in the chest rather than a 2 cm deep dent
@jty72 it's a 50 round mag they just made it 48 in cod because of the burst firing
@Keh0ol
yes, the gun is extremely rare and i would love to get my hands on one much more than on the ammunition
No wonder it went out of production. Imagine loading another clip into that thing without it being completely through. KA-BOOM
Just think, the enemies you don't shoot will fall down laughing at your ridiculous gun.
@imsocutewithnips that square thing you see around the bullets is the gunpowder.
This thing has the coolest loading mechanism ever.
I am SO jealous of the guy firing the gun, I mean he is in every video and he gets to test out all the military armaments without having to do training in all of them!
he probably is in the japanese military though...
i love that peaceful background music while he´s shooting a deadly rifle xD
@R3APERSBAZOOKA haha the AUG wasn't designed in the 60's either...so you are very correct
@mikeyruhly haven't you heard? man purses and high heeled boots are now mandatory accessories when entering the marines :D
