  THE GUN THAT NEVER WAS: Heckler & Koch G11
Among the many requirements for the rifle were that it carry 50 rounds of ammunition (to reduce magazine changes), have a flat trajectory through 300 meters (to facilitate rapid aiming), have a high degree of accuracy when firing 3 round bursts (for improved lethality), and weigh less than 10 pounds with 100 rounds of ammunition.
The G11, with no case to extract or eject, omits 3 and 4 (and because it really doesn't have a recoiling bolt in the traditional sense, steps 2 and 7 are abreviated).
The rifle itself is relatively straightforward (the G11 fires from the "closed bolt" position, and the breech is gas piston operated), with the exception of the rotating breech/chamber cylinder.

  HK G11 & HK G112K
The G11 was being eyed by the U.S. as a possible replacement for the M16 and M249 already, but nobody adopts a weapon unless the native country does so first.
H&K now found themselves in a tight situation: the government had cancelled the project that they had spent the last five years developing, and the Army was getting antsy for a rifle, because the G3 was already being phased out.
The G11 and the caseless project entirely was permanently cancelled in 1992, in a sad ending to what could have been a history making rifle which had no equal anywhere.

 HK G11
The G11 is chambered to fire a 4.73x33mm caseless round, whereas the HK-ACR fires 4.92x34mm caseless rounds.
In Germany, the caliber of the bore diameter is measured from land to land.
The length of the cartridge of the G11 and HK-ACR is 33mm long, though in the United States the length of the chamber, not the cartridge case, is used to describe the round.

 HK G11 RIFLE WITH CASELESS AMMUNITION
On these grounds the external design of the G11 Rifle was based on the ergonomic requirements advanced to assure an easy handling in all firing positions and modes.
This means that the G11 Rifle fully maintains its functionability under all climatic conditions after immersion into water, especially salt water in sand and sand storms and furthermore after immersion into mud of any mixture and texture.
The G11 Rifle, which is only 75cm long and weighs only 3.6 kg, can fulfill all requirements for a future weapon/ammunition system in all tactical roles, either as a submachine gun, rifle or a light support weapon.

 Heckler und Koch G11 (Германия)
Разработка винтовки G11 была начата фирмой Хеклер и Кох (Германия) в самом конце 1960х годов, когда правительство ФРГ приняло решение о создании новой, более эффективной винтовки на замену винтовкам G3.
Винтовка G11 имеет уникальную вращающуюся камору-казенник, в которую перед выстрелом патрон подается вертикально вниз.
Ранние прототипы G11 оснащались несъемным оптическим прицелом кратности 1Х.

 Heckler & Koch G11 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The number of hours of maintenance required for the G11 as compared to other designs is not clear, especially since the impact of the powder used in the caseless ammo remains unknown.
Pre-mature ignition of ammunition by heat in the firing chamber, known as cook-off, was a major problem with early prototypes of the G11.
As a result of doing away with casings, the G11 became a safety hazard and had to be withdrawn from the 1979 NATO trials.

The HK G36c is a variant of the popular G36 class of assault rifles, the G36 Commando is a shortened entry version of the G36.
HK G11 Secondary Ammo - 4.73 x33mm FMJ.
Hk SMG II Created as a follow up to the enormously successful and practised MP5, the SMG II boasted features such as a gas release valve to drop supersonic ammo to subsonic velocities, a quick mount suppressor, a firerod assist (silent bolt closure device), and a hand grip for added control.

 HKPRO:  The G11
HITP stands for High Ignition Temperature Propellant, and sought to solve one of the many problems that would be obvious with caseless ammunition, that of cookoff, where the temperature of the chamber is hot enough to fire the round alone.
On burst fire the G11 was able to have three rounds out of the gun in about 60 milliseconds, compared to 130 milliseconds between only the first and second shots on full automatic.
This meant that before the recoil would cause the rounds to fly off target, (due to the mechanics of recoil on the relationship between the rifle and shoulder of the firer), the three round burst would be on its way, resulting in rather impressive hit probability at even 100m.

The original G11 was supposed to be put into use in the German Army, but was cancelled mainly due to the reunification of Germany after the fall of the USSR.
The G11 project addressed all of these problems and that is why H&K chose it to enter the competition.
The G11 fires 2100 rpm which means that a three round burst fires in 60 milliseconds as compared to 130 milliseconds in standard weapons.

Anything good is worth thinking with to make it better, and HK seems to think that's what their newest handgun is. It uses a lot of the features of the USP but ads things like a standard picatinny rail and several different sized grips so you can get the perfect fit for you hand.
It's not that surprising actually, but Gizmodo totally missing the HK boat is unforgivable.

The HK was responsible for the rifle itself, while Dynamit Nobel had to develop caseless ammunition.
Main reasons of this cancellation were, in my opinion, the lack of fundings after the re-union of the West and East Germanies, and the general NATO policy for unification of the ammunition and even magazines for the assault rifles.
The slightly modified G11 was also tested in the USA under the ACR (Advanced Cobat Rifle) programme, in 1990.

The reason behind that project was that the Bundeswehr (the German army), after the cancellation of the G11 and G41 projects, was left with outdated G3 rifle and no modern rifle, compatible with the current NATO standards at hands.
From the technical point of view, the G36 is a radical departure from all the previous HK rifles, based on the proven G3 roller-delayed system.
The typical HK trigger unit is assembled in a separate plastic housing, integral with the pistol grip and the triggerguard.

The HK CAWS was a select-fire, smoothbore, recoil-operated, 10-round, 12-gauge shotgun designed on the bull-pup model (the bull-pup configuration has the weapon's mechanism as well as its magazine located behind its trigger).
The HK CAWS, which resembled the HK G11 assault rifle, was a rather special weapon.

The HK G36 is the standard frontline assault rifle of the Germany Army.
Eventually, both the G11 and G41 were deemed too impractical and expensive to field as a frontline weapon system, thusly the HK firm stepped in with the HK G36 (a Steyr AUG design was also proposed but passed on).
HK was sensitive to the German military need for a production rifle that was cost-effective than the previous selections offered.

HK G3 The G3 series of Battle Rifles was the most successful post-war rifle other than the FN FAL of Belgium.
The G11 utilises a Swarovski low-light scope which, when the operator is engaging targets out to within 300 metres it gives x1 magnification for best clarity.
When fired in Three round burst mode the G11 gets all three rounds go at an amazing 2200 rounds a minute meaning that the operator doesn't get time to react to the burst and effectively it is as if they had only fired a single round at the target.

Most importantly, the handguard and center part of the receiver were redesigned to allow a total of three 45-round magazines to be carried side by side on the rifle.
The center magazine presents rounds to the mechanism during firing and is easily and quickly exchanged with the two outside magazines during reloading.
Emergency iron sights are molded into the protective rubber caps of the optical sight, and a universal implement attachment point in the front of the handguard allows for a bayonet, bipod, or laser aimer to be attached.

The problem with the "they didn't have the money for a new gun" thing, is when that got shelved, HK developed the 36 and the Germans switched to that.

It was (IIRC) because West and East Germany united about the same time when G11 was going to be adopted into general use by the West German Army, which now suddenly had no money for new fancy stuff as the unification ate up quite a lot of Deutch Marks.
In researching the G11 (back when I was a cadet at a military institution of higher learning, and before the wall came down), it seemed that nobody in the US thought it was a good idea because of the lack of ability to simply haul cases of ammo to the field and reload the mags.
The G11 had a number of problems, related to the round itself originally.
