The H&K G41 was most soldier's bet for Germany's Next Service Rifle, but H&K unearthed the 1970s H&K36, modified it and turned it into the G36. Still, something had to be done about replacing the aging G3 (which, actually is not an assault rifle in the original sense of the word, but an automatic rifle). The funding for the G11 was withdrawn as the German Army suddenly had grown in size after the German re-unification.
It was mostly the fall of the Berlin Wall and the breakup of the GDR that was the downfall of the G11, as the FRG did not want to buy a system they no longer had enemies for I do not think so, the last I read about cook-off with the G11 was that they got the problem solved by changing the propellant.Īnd a cook-off with the G11 would happen immediately, if it happens at all, because there's no case, other guns may cook-off when you have put them aside already, after the case has gotten heated up by the chamber.īesides, the barrel is not connected to the chamber, that would be rather bad with that rotating chamber system, so barrel heat can be almost ignored.ĮDIT: the G11 has passed all the tests and was proclaimed by the Bundeswehr to be ready for introduction. If you used the weapons on auto it would keep firing after the 6th round because of the barrel heat igniting the bullets propallant. Mardec The main problem with the G11 was the caseless ammo. The only real competitiors to the P90 are the H&K MP7 and the Russian PP-2000, both of which are part of the same new breed of AP SMGs, the MP7 using 4.7mm ammo and the PP-2000 using a much hotter loaded, saboted 9x19mm round that allows it to keep the punch of larger rounds against unarmored targets, but gives it a slightly shorter effective range when compared to the P90 or MP7.Īny way, the G11 is (from what I have read about it) just about the best assault rifle yet designed. It uses the 5.7x28mm SS190, the MP5 (usually) uses the 9x19mm para and the UMP is seen in. I'm no expert, though - s'just my two cents.The P90 fires smaller calibre ammunition than the MP5 or the UMP.
Add the possibilities of the RIS system introduced in the P90T series, and you have, in my opinion, the most versatile CQC weapon.
Quote: Well, IRL, the FN P90 would prove to be superior to both, as far as technicalities go - a larger magazine, larger caliber bullets that also weigh less, fully ambidextrious design. Re: THE GUN THAT NEVER WAS: Heckler & Koch G11
