Guy,
In the event of a misfire/dud where you need to clear the chamber, the G11 is equipped with an ejection port at the bottom of the chamber. To clear the round you rotate the bolt downward and the round falls out. Not sure what the “stuck” round procedures are though, though I’m sure it’s something that was thought of.

Big problem with caseless rounds: heat. An enormous amount of waste heat is transferred to the brass casing in conventional firearms, which are of course quickly ejected from the weapon. On the G-11, all of that heat goes directly into the weapon. This necessitates a much thicker and heavier barrel and/or some other system of cooling the thing.

G-11. I wonder how you go about unchambering a round? Depending upon the mission, you may have a loaded weapon that needs to be cleared other than firing the round.

The first question to ask in any engineering problem is ‘what problem are you trying to solve’?
As far as I am aware (lifetime civilian…) the two big issues with the m4/m16 in current conditions are ’rounds too small’ and ‘sand screws it/pain to clean’. The first of those is by no means a clear case, we’ve all heard the arguments for and against heavier rounds, no reason to repeat them here. But if there is a problem the solution is in the ‘bigger round’ direction, not the other way.
The second problem is being a pain to clean and needing regular cleaning in desert conditions. Well,the solutions to this are either lower tolerances (ie AK47) or an otherwise more reliable /easier cleaning mechanism.
In both these cases, it would appear the g11 goes the wrong way. Cool? Sure. Solution? No way.

Yeah, it’s a nice concept, but there are some very pointed negatives brought up here too. Not being able to remove a “dud” or do maintenance on the bolt is a huge deal for me. If it can be broken, a soldier will find a way. I still say the next evolutionary step will be one of four things:
a.)caseless ammo
b.)liquid propellant fed in behind projectiles
c.)metal storm type launchers
d.)electro-magnetic propulsion
All of these seem a pretty long way off, so the next weapon will probably use the same old principles of mechanical operation.
Somebody mentioned the field testing of the xm-8 and wondered why it disappeared. Last I heard, the handguards melted in sustained fire. Don’t know if that got fixed. Between that and the debate/dis-satisfaction with the 5.56, I think they tried to wait it out.

I always thought that velocity was a big factor in a quick killing round? Hydrostatic shock and CNS shutdown?
Wasn’t there an issue with the 5.62 years ago where they lowered the effective velocity of the round?

Well I hope the country can afford bread lines I hope that, I WILL QUALIFY FOR THE COFFIE. With the country going down the tolet, the military indusral machine is planning on how to steal the last dollar they can get. A fool got us into a war, that we can not win,
Forest gumps moma said, stupid is as stupid does, Bush has proven his moma point. We get four more fool that want to grind our country into dust, no matter which one we pick,
The revulation to save the country is long over due. No one with what it takes to fight to take back the government is willing to stand up and do so, Talk and more Tals, Spend money till the wheal berral we carry it in is worth more than the money in it. Shame on the USA.
