Caseless cartridge demonstration model
2012 • E33 Apr 8, 2012
Despite numerous experiments, most notably the Heckler & Koch G11, the advantages of caseless ammunition have never been able to outweigh the disadvantages. But that doesn't stop the idea from being pretty intriguing. We had the opportunity to take a look at a demonstration mockup of a caseless ammo rifle made by the Hughes company. Hughes is best known as an aircraft manufacturer, but also did a lot of weapons work, including designs like the Heligun (lots of aircraft-to-guns spillover used to happen - like Fairchild and the AR15). Anyway, this caseless demonstrator is pretty neat, so we put together this video.
