"we fire the whole bullet. that's 65% more bullet per bullet"

Imagine being those soldiers who got to fire it little did they know they were holding one of the most elusive pieces of firearms history ever

This feels like a Kickstarter project but the team actually delivered.

This weapon saved my life while I was serving in the army during my tour in Black Ops 1. A life saver for sure , amazing gun

Some say that Germans use alien technology Actually the aliens use German technology

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!

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.

it's a shame this gun requires a PhD to build and maintain, they're so cool

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.

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!

Ah yes, “Heckler and Coke”

I wish this didn't get ditched. Seems like a super cool design, even if it is built like a watch on the inside.

Recoil looks absolutely brutal.

The sound it makes during the burst fire is terrifying. Truly sounds like some kind of future space weapon.

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 ...

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"

This sounds like the dude that narrated the missile knows where it is

Transitioning from 2100 rpm burst to 400 rpm full auto had to have been weird as hell.

Best gun in cruelty squad 10/10
