In this special video I had the privilege of field stripping a Heckler & Koch G11. We strip the rifle down into its major assemblies and then explain how the ‘space magic’ works!
I explain how the recoil management system, that compensated for the recoil of firing a 3-round burst at ~2,000rpm, worked and how rifle’s ingenious rotating breech operated. This video demonstrates just how complex and ambitious the HK G11 was!
