Numerous studies and theoretical designs were worked up but by the mid-1970s the base design of what would become the G11 was cemented.

Working with Hensoldt to develop an integrated optical sight and with Dynamit-Nobel to create a new kind of ammunition. Heckler & Koch’s approach to this problem was the most radical. The project sought to increase the hit probability of the individual infantryman. The program began in the late 1960s as part of a NATO initiative, however, it became a primarily Bundeswehr project and over two decades the design evolved substantially. The G11’s action has three distinct modes of fire and uses a complex action and buffer/recoil system to achieve a high rate of controlled fire. The G11 was Germany’s attempt to combine advanced caseless ammunition with a weapon system which could increase the average infantryman’s hit probability. The product of decades of research and development into what was hoped would be the next evolutionary step in small arms design. There are few experimental weapons that have cultivated myth and reputation like Heckler & Koch’s G11. This video is an introductory overview, we’ll be delving into the G11’s insanely intricate and wonderfully complex action in later videos! HK ACR 4.92x34mm G11 (Matthew Moss) Vic kicks off his series looking at the US Army’s ACR trials rifleswith a look at, not one but two versions of, Heckler & Koch’s advanced caseless ammunition assault rifle – the G11.
