This willful ignorance is also displayed in the two official works on the company's history: On the one hand, the digital "chronicle" of the company on the company's homepage is extremely short and covers only a few events which are seen as positive from the company’s perspective (see https://www.heckler-koch.com/de/unternehmen/historie.html). On the other hand, the book by Manfred Kersten and Walter Schmid, published in 1999: "Heckler & Koch: The official history of the Oberndorf company Heckler & Koch" on 383 pages describes the development of the Oberndorf arms manufacturers up to the end of the last century in a differentiated but one-sided, company-friendly manner.

What happened to this unique rifle? Continued Soldier Tech Subject: Re: THE GUN THAT NEVER WAS: Heckler & Koch G11 Posted by Forsaken on Wed, 15 Feb 2006 17:26:00 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message Well, as far as I know that programm was sacked because of the caliber. You know, 4.7mm is not a Nato-Standard as 7.62 or 5.56. Therefore the G36 pattern with 5.56 was followed, since the greater calibers like 7.62 are not used so often any more with assault rifles - because of the increased weight. Of course another reason why the G11 didn't make it into production was a cost thing. Were there any serious possibilities to sell that weapon? I don't think so, and since the German military budget gets smaller and smaller, they couldn't afford it then. If you're interested in such things you might want to check on this site: world.guns.ru - Forsaken Subject: Re: THE GUN THAT NEVER WAS: Heckler & Koch G11 Posted by grindedstone on Wed, 15 Feb 2006 22:25:00 GMT View Forum Message <> Reply to Message belive me the g11 is a fav amonst many ja2 players/fans sadly (in the terms of this gun not making it) forsaken is correct.

There were formerly fixed stock and sliding stock models (the Mod 1 and Mod 2), but the fixed stock version was quickly dropped and is almost never seen.
