I wish I had a fraction of your knowledge and expertise. This is incredible! I followed you so I can see your future updates. Wish you the best with this.

Does this video have any new useful information needed to help with your build?

Irritable_Monkey_@reddit (OP)

Thank you for that link, I’ll have to find the time to watch that video

[-]

Biggles79@reddit

If you haven't already, don't bother. It doesn't even touch the mechanical side of things.

[-]

Irritable_Monkey_@reddit (OP)

I did watch it. The history they covered is available in the book, Die G11 story. Excited for the release of the next HK coffee table book they mentioned, though!

[-]

Biggles79@reddit

Yes I have access to the book - precious little technical detail on the later variants in that either, although unparalleled on the development side. I messaged you by the way :)

Corbat67@reddit

At first I was like "wtf how'd he get G11 internals??" Then I found out that you're REVERSE ENGINEERING THEM FROM YOUTUBE VIDEOS. And I'm just in awe

I'm the guy your mother warned you about. I'll steal your heart and your intellectual property with nothing more than a glimpse.

Bro no homo but I want you spray these stl files all over me

[-]

Irritable_Monkey_@reddit (OP)

Honestly, I don’t find it particularly interesting

[-]

Chimorin_@reddit

WAIT, WHAT? Holy shit thats incredible.

So that's how you keep the germans entertained while you steal their shit lol.

Cant even imagine how much of a nightmare making ammo for this would be

[-]

OG_Fe_Jefe@reddit

It would involve a setup very similar to a swage die set, and a 20-50 ton hydraulic press.

Not very complex, nor expensive.

All I ask for is you hand in marriage 💍

Jokes aside, really cool project!

You're a mad man, MAD!

I know you've said in the past that this is more likely to be a 1:1 replica than a fully functional gun, what with the aluminum barrel and lack of a firing pin but....

I heard someone say you couldn't make a barrel or firing pin if your life depended on it. "Who, Irritable_Monkey? Oh, aye, dab hand with a bit of clockwork and kraut space magic, but he's not the man to see about a barrel. And don't get me started on his lack of understanding when it comes to the proprietary ammunition that thing used..."

I'm just saying what I heard. But you're right, it's better off a model, wouldn't want to anger any lawyers or nosey government busy bodies. I'm sure you could if you wanted to...

Frankie-Felix@reddit

even if he could replicate it with perfect materials where would they get caseless ammo??

[-]

Prize_Dust_4942@reddit

Make it, caseless ammo is nothing new, basically you just need a hydraulic press and a mould to compress the nitrocellulose mixture. I’ve done it to make ammunition for my caseless daisy 22 rifle

[-]

Frankie-Felix@reddit

Lol

Irritable_Monkey_@reddit (OP)

Thank you for the compliment. I do what I want. Don’t care what the wannabes in the bleachers have to say. I’ll build what suits me and it’s suits me to not go to jail

[-]

Irritable_Monkey_@reddit (OP)

This is a wall hanger. As close to the original as I can make it, so it will be non firing. The next will be a legal, semi auto variant. Things take time. I’m a busy man.

Thank you
