Most of the information presented in this page on the G11 comes from two sources: The Die G11 Story, by Wolfgang Seel, for photographs, and a report called "The Development Status of the Heckler & Koch G11 Rifle with Caseless Ammunition" by Jim Schatz, the principal U.S. contact on the G11 project. There is probably no one on this side of the Atlantic who knows more about the G11 than he. Much of the information on the G11 here comes from that pamphlet. ......

hey what is the latest?

This weapon is a POS. It bankrupt H&K.

Ammo has to be sealed in magazines. It is possible to do a field reload by hand into the magazines, but the resistance to wear and tear of the caseless ammo is unknown.

Calibre of the ammo is non-NATO standard. I don't it will ever be.

Bull-pup design means the US, the biggest customer will never use it.
