Interesting read. I wonder how controllable it would be with how light it is.

Looks like a promising design. That said, if they expect the US military to adopt a new experimental ammunition, they are dreaming.

Didn't say how they would overcome the overheating problems of past caseless designs.

Looks interesting... the telescoping ammo also..

Essentially a consumable high temperature burning shell would absorb the heat and in consumption exhaust comparitevly little heat. But I think the consumable shell is going to limit the weight advantage and create its own fouling problems. They have only tested strings of 14 shots. |

If they have a rotating chamber and if chamber temp. is a problem.
Then it would be logical to have several chambers in a cylinder. Or perhaps a three chamber arrangement with lots of cooling area around each chamber. |

I really like the mechanism they came up with; it's really clever. But I wonder how they're going to control overtravel from the cartridge inertia, having been pushed by the plunger. Go too far, and CHOP. The caseless I could see, since they could constrict the end slightly, but the cased versions are going to be hard to do.

I like your idea... perhaps the cylinder could be derived from a ceramic / carbon that would not retain heat. I think a harder item is the problem with caseless propelant and getting proper / usefull velocity. |

I'm not sure I understand exactly what the telescoping cartridge does

Shorter overall length of cartidge Totally reliable ejection: each cartidge pushes out previous one, even if the latter is a misfire. |

Hey its got a telestock!
And a "sorta" VersaPod...'cept this one splits in two halves for Bipod mode and joins into one piece for Vertical Foregrip. |

There telescoped case idea is great. But will the cases be wider than they currently are? If so, it would result in less capacity and be useless.
I don't see how the caseless will overcome the heat. Todays guns remove lots of heat by transfering it to the case, and there will be no case to transfer it to. |

That's the company I work for, except a different branch.
I'm in the Training and Simulation division, doing aircraft maintenance training systems for the C-17 and F-22. I tried to talk the Powers That Be into letting me volunteer to ops check the LMG, but apparently that duty is spoken for. |
