The '''G11''' assault rifle was developed by Heckler & Koch from 1968 to 1991 as a potential replacement for West Germany's [[G3]] battle rifles; it was also entered in the US military's Advanced Combat Rifle program in 1982 and was tested during field experiments from 1989 to 1990. The G11 is a bullpup rifle firing caseless rounds and features an unusual layout with the rounds pointed downwards in a long magazine inserted into the front of the weapon, and a rotating chamber to align them with the barrel; this almost certainly inspired the layout and rotating feed system of the [[FN P90]]. The entire mechanism of the rifle (including the barrel and magazine) is capable of moving back inside the stock to allow for a superfast 3-round burst at 2,100 RPM, with the idea being that all three rounds would be fired before felt recoil affected the shooter. In full-auto mode, this system is not used and the rifle fires at around 460 RPM.

Heckler & Koch G11 K1 - 4.73x33mm
Heckler & Koch G11 K2 - 4.73x33mm

The G11 assault rifle was developed by Heckler & Koch from 1968 to 1991 as a potential replacement for West Germany's G3 battle rifles; it was also entered in the US military's Advanced Combat Rifle program in 1982 and was tested during field experiments from 1989 to 1990. The G11 is a bullpup rifle firing caseless rounds and features an unusual layout with the rounds pointed downwards in a long magazine inserted into the front of the weapon, and a rotating chamber to align them with the barrel; this almost certainly inspired the layout and rotating feed system of the FN P90. The entire mechanism of the rifle (including the barrel and magazine) is capable of moving back inside the stock to allow for a superfast 3-round burst at 2,100 RPM, with the idea being that all three rounds would be fired before felt recoil affected the shooter. In full-auto mode, this system is not used and the rifle fires at around 460 RPM.

While early versions of the caseless round had problems with untriggered detonation due to heat build-up ("cook-off"), using new propellant designed by Dynamit Nobel with a higher ignition temperature was said to have solved this issue. The final G11 was mechanically sound but unsuccessful politically, finding itself being considered for adoption just as East and West Germany were reunified. There were 256 prototypes built, and although the project was completed successfully and the weapon was officially adopted by the Bundeswehr, the order for 300,000 rifles in the period from 1990-2002 was cancelled and the rifle struck from the procurement list in 1992; by 1993 the entire program had been cancelled due to the impossibility of adapting the G11 to fire standardized NATO ammunition and ultimately, the far more conventional Heckler & Koch G36 was developed instead. However, its futuristic design has led to it being featured frequently in video games and other media where a physical weapon is not required.

The G11 was planned as part of a family of weapons including the "G11 PDW," a gas-operated machine pistol using a shortened 4.73x25mm caseless round and the forerunner to the Heckler & Koch MP7, and the LMG11, a light support weapon variant which would have used an enormous 300-round "package" of ammunition inserted into the stock with cartridges facing to one side in columns, aligning these with a three-chamber revolving breech to protect from cook-off. It is not particularly clear how the "package," which was said to have no spring, actually operated.
