The G-11 is awesome, I have a vid clip of one of the test guns being fired. The main problems were:
1) It was way ahead of its time. Caseless ammo has a lot of advantages, but right now its not used by anyone else so it would be hard/expensive to produce.
2) It was put together like freaking clockwork. Look at the pictures of the interior mechanism of the HK Pro site (an excellent site by the way for everything HK makes) that FngKestrel linked to, no way you could work on cleanin that in a muddy trench.
It was an interesting idea, and it showed that caseless ammunition was atleast feasible if not quite practical.
