Very interesting video on the H&K G11.

I knew a bit about the history and development of this gun but never researched the entire story nor have I ever done any looking into how the internals worked. This video goes into fantastic detail on the history and working of one of the most unique firearms in modern history. (Not to mention a favorite in Fallout 2)

The G11 was a combined effort by H&K and Dynamit Nobel to produce a new rifle for the German military with truly new technology. The core of the system was the use of a caseless cartridge developed in the late 60s and early 70s by Dynamit Nobel, which then allowed H&K to design a magnificently complex action which could fire three rounds in a hyper-fast (~2000 rpm) burst and have all three bullets leave the barrel before the weapon moved in recoil.

Remarkably, the idea went through enough development to pass German trials and actually be accepted for service in the late 1980s (after a funding shutdown when it proved incapable of winning NATO cartridge selection trials a decade earlier). However, the reunification with East Germany presented a reduced strategic threat, a new surplus of East German combat rifles (AK74s), and a huge new economic burden to the combined nations and this led to the cancellation of the program. The US Advanced Combat Rifle program gave the G11 one last grasp at a future, but it was not deemed a sufficient improvement in practical use over the M16 platform to justify a replacement of all US weapons in service.

The G11 lives on, however, as an icon of German engineering prowess often referred to as "Kraut Space Magic" (in an entirely complimentary take on the old pejorative). That it could be so complex and yet still run reliably in legitimate military trials is a tremendous feat by H&K's design engineers, and yet one must consider that the Bundeswehr may just have dodged a bullet when it ended up not actually adopting the rifle.

It's sixteen made-for-tv films. If they can only get 80 seconds out of 20+ hours of content, I'd say that's a pretty low threshold.

I forget how many I made it through in getting the discs from Netflix before I moved on. I'm sure JeffV can tell us the wonders of the whole series.

This made me laugh. The dick jokes and the N-word jokes are fairly cliched, but I laughed anyway, particularly at the end of the N-word joke where he's just reveling in his ability to say it without any repercussions, not because he's racist but because it's taboo and his shtick is a polite white jewish rapper persona.

Youtube thumbnail was sorta nsfw so I'm putting it in link tags. The video isn't really nsfw except for language

If you found that funny, I recommend professional rapper with Snoop Dogg. It's actually a better video and I like the back and forth between Snoop and Dicky.

If you didn't find it funny, well, you suck.

I hadn't seen any of the videos, but I'd heard the second one many times. I have a Pandora station built around musical comedy. It shows up there every so often. I'm a fan.

This guy was homeless when discovered on their version of The Voice or something. No training and he sings the male and female parts. And he sings the Italian parts without speaking it.

Or found a tree that wasn't going to keel over on it's own within a day or so. What's next, video of her beating on Ali's corpse?

Her punches are impressive. Her hitting the "tree"? Not so much.

I remember the original video and I know who Weezer is. Whatever else is there sailed right past me. I like the guy who's out of fucks better.

I stopped watching about 15 seconds after the vocals started. Not that there was any issue with any of it, I just wasn't seeing the point of any of it.

History of the Universe in 13,799 dominoes. Description:

"If you set up a row of dominoes as a timeline of history from the Big Bang to now, and had each domino represent 1 million years it would stretch over 300 meters long. I know because thats what I did for this video. The universe is very old."

Dude actually narrates the entire thing providing specific landmarks. He's a bit of a dork, but I found the scale of this quite fascinating.

Daehawk · Post by **Daehawk** » Sun Feb 17, 2019 6:56 pm

Nice. I found the 300 meter tides neat. I knew the moon moves away so much each year but never wondered about how close it once was.

For the record I watched the entire thing then read the wiki entry when you posted this. Didn't want you to think it wasn't of interest to anyone. Thanks for posting it.
