This isn't necessarily a rifle or pistol, but if it were to ever be release to the public, it would be Class III, so I put it here.

I like the recoil-less 3rd burst. I think HK's G11 did something similar.

It will never be released to the public.

Cool. Ultimately irrelevant to us. That "thing" would be a post-86 item so civvies are SOL.

isnt this based on the concept of caseless ammunition pretty much ? I think i heard of them talking about this in the 70's

Maybe some day someone will repeal the NFA, FOPA, and get rid of the BATFE... or someone could take one from an armory if SHTF.

Indeed. HK actually built a viable rifle using caseless ammo. It was too far ahead of its time, too radical in appearance, and the burrets were frightfully expensive to manufacture. No one bit, for those reasons.

The "electronic ignition" isn't new either. The M-61 Vulcan rotary cannon has used it since the 60s.

There is no doubt, however, that caseless ammunition is the wave of the future. This thing is more step in the evolution chain.

I also remember it being a cause of NATO to why we dont have it on our smaller weapon systems now . Can u imagine if this would hit the streets for civilians . Good lord the cost of the ammo would be outragious , that and being that it is electronic , manipulating the trigger to go full auto seems like it could be done easily .

It was the G11 that used caseless ammo.

I first heard of this gun when it was put in Siphon Filter 2 as the H11.

The FAMAS trigger and the AUG trigger is the same way. Fully depress for FA.

The only thing from the Metal Storm company I'd want is this.
