They should bring the G11 back with pyrolytic graphite saboted ammo. It wouldn’t increase the weight or bulk much at all, and its thermal properties would allow the case to absorb heat much better than brass. It wouldn’t technically be careless, but if the sabot is ejected with the bullet, then it’s practically the same. I wonder how well compressed carbon would work with regular rifling.
When I worked for H&K I’ve been told that when the project got cancelled they had already dealt with the heat problems.
Aaah that’s cool as hell. Yeah, I think I remember they reformulated the explosive to be less heat sensitive and cook-offy
I honestly don’t know what they did, I think all or most people who had to do with it were already gone. Sadly it was also one of the few H&K weapons I couldn’t get the chance to fire.
HK g11 needs to be added
