Ian McCollum, aka Gun Jesus, looks at the HK G11:
The workings of the rifle itself are insanely complicated, in traditional Swiss/German tradition. I saw a few reports on this rifle back in the day; cooking off of chambered rounds was a noted problem.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.

ReplyDeleteWhen he said 1990 I thought, no need for new rifles boys, you just lost the Soviet Union as enemy and inherited millions of AK-74s.
That mechanism reminds me of the wheelock for the 20th century, for sure not field stripable nor serviceable, depot repair only.
I think the silly, sexy Star Ship Troopers movie used the HK G11 as a model.
The big naval rifles used interrupted-thread screw breeches.
