Why did we abandon it?
Seems pretty useless imo but cool none the less
Caseless ammo
it's not abandoned, maybe you should take a look at the US military's next generation of rifles
It's not entirely abandoned, and if you say it's useless you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. It substantially reduces ammo weight, ammo size, and magazine size for guns that operate with it. It can offer up to 40% ammo weight reduction and cut some of the weight off your platform because mags, magwells, and chambers can be made shorter.
I thought they were gonna use 6.5 creamybutthole
You're referring to LSAT's Cased Telescoped program.
the type you posted was abandoned because it cooked off in the chamber and broke apart while being handled
It was just put on the back burner, but never abandoned.
Caseless and cased telescopic ammo has been developed side by side throughout the entire program.
>guck up the chamber at 100x the rate of cased ammo
Jesus Christ just clean your gun you animal.
The G11 was intended to never be serviced by the troops fyi.
