Caliber: 4.7 mm caseless

Barrel length: 540 mm
Weigth: 3.6 kg empty
Magazine capacity: 50 or 45 rds
--- Quote --- When firing single shots, the housing moves back and forward after the each shot. When firing the full-auto, the housing moves back and forward during each shot, resulting in moderate rate of fire of some 600 round per minute. But, when firing the three-round bursts, second and third cartridges are feed and fired as soon as the chamber is ready for it, and third bullet leaves the barrel PRIOR to the moment when the housing becomes to its rearward position. This results in wery high rate of fire with three-shots bursts - ca. 2000 rounds per minute. Also, this results in that the actual recoil affects the rifle AFTER the last bullet in the burst is fired..

The H&K G11 is an enormous clusterforget of a weapon that was shelved because of various design flaws, and the reality that caseless rounds are inferior to cased rounds.

Someone in korea was killed by a man equipped with a .17 HMR rimfire rifle.

You say that as if small rimfire cartridges are incapeable of killing. You only have to hit one of the large number of main arteries to cause a lethal bleed, and .17 HMR is pretty high-velocity, and will usually fragment and/or yaw on impact and cause all kind of nasties.
Mushroom man:
The G11 has no shell casings!? Holy crap!
Deathwish:
It lead to a lot of design problems, mostly because standard brass cases would draw heat out of the whole system, and without the case there the barrel heats up a lot more. Combine a hot barrel with exposed propellant and you've got problems on your hands.
It was popularised in Call of Duty: Black Ops, along with the Enfield EM-2 prototype, of which less than 20 were produced. They're both just experiments, and the G11, despite being a competetive rifle, was just an expensive toy.
