H&K G11 Caseless Hyperburst Rifle

This video provides an in-depth look at the Heckler & Koch G11K2, the final version of the advanced German rifle that was ultimately cancelled. The G11's revolutionary caseless ammunition and complex hyperburst firing mechanism are detailed. The video explains the historical context of its development, its rejection from NATO trials, and its eventual cancellation due to political and economic shifts following German reunification. It also touches on its participation in the US Advanced Combat Rifle program and its enduring legacy as a symbol of German engineering prowess, often referred to as 'Kraut Space Magic.'
