Someone tell me how a G11 works.
Still needs a Type 95.
You can't deny.
The weapon itself has three firing modes: semi-auto, full-auto at 460 rounds per minute, and three-round burst at over 2000 cyclic rounds per minute, which is approximately 36 rounds per second. The loading and feed mechanism is physically very complicated but exceptionally fast and reliable. Rounds are fed into the weapon from a magazine that lies above and parallel with the barrel. The rounds are oriented vertically (at 90 degrees to the bore) and are fed downwards into the rotary chamber so that they can be rotated 90 degrees for firing. The firing cycle process is roughly:
As the roostering handle on the side is rotated clockwise by the weapon operator:
A round is dropped into the revolving chamber vertically (a loading piston assists this process).
The chamber rotates 90° until it is lined up with the barrel. This completes the chambering of the round and roostering of the firing pin.
When the trigger is pulled, a firing pin ignites the primer, which then ignites a powder booster charge that pushes the bullet into the barrel. The solid block of propellant is broken up to increase the ignition surface area and ignites, accelerating the bullet out of the barrel.
As the projectile is accelerating up the barrel, recoil forces drive the barrel, magazine, chamber and operating mechanism rearwards within the weapon, dissipating energy for single shot and fully automatic modes but allowing burst mode to deliver three projectiles downrange before buffering occurs.
Gas tapped off from the barrel rotates the chamber and actuates the loading mechanism then rotating the chamber back to the vertical original position until it is lined up with the feed mechanism and the process repeats.
The weapon uses 4.73x33 mm caseless ammunition, with the propellant shaped into square blocks
