I was just thinking about the G11 and wondered if anyone knows if the designers ever thought about marrying it to a grenade launcher of some type?
It seems to be the way of the future for most weapon systems so it would be reasonable to expect it to happen if the G11 had been issued as planned. My guess is though that a dedicated GL wouldn't have happened until at least the very late 90's, perhaps not even until today.
If one was in the pipeline, would it have been a standard 40mm or would they have tinkered with the idea a bit and gone with something else such as 25mm, 37mm or even developed some type of caseless?
Would use of rifle grenades, perhaps of the BTU variety, have been contemplated?
Thoughts?
