Guden Oden said:It looks quite a bit like a gun that never got past prototype stage, that had a superfast 3-round burst mode. It loaded caseless ammo vertically from a horizontal clip along the top of the gun like you see in that image into a rotating chamber that turned 90 degrees into firing position. Very odd design, but apparantly something that worked anyway.
It fired the three rounds so fast that your aim didn't have time to move due to recoil until after the bullets had already left the muzzle of the gun. Very interesting tech, if you consider murdering people interesting of course... Probably a pretty fragile system though with the complicated mechanics and superfast firing rate n stuff.
nope.MPI said:That was the H&K G11. As I understood it the mechanics weren't all that complicated really, but the problem was the chamber got really hot which made the ammo cook off. As it was caseless ammo the propellant was obviously in direct contact with the hot metal chamber -> not good! The hot casings normally ejected actually acts as discardable heatsinks to the weapon...
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.

And here is another link to the same site with what I believe is the gun seen in the Ghost Recon 3 demos: http://world.guns.ru/assault/as61-e.htm
