Yep, the G11. Turns out with all its other problems caseless ammo is brittle, so if you drop a round it breaks. Not super practical in the field.

Yes! Forgotten Weapons is an amazing channel. I love Gun-Jesus (Florida-Man Edition), aka Ian. His simple, clear, engaging style is fantastic. The deep dives into engineering and history are fantastic. Infinitely bingeable.
