I'm a big fan of BTU grenades in the T2K universe but I think the 4.7mm round would be a bit under-powered for BTU grenades. The round relies on high velocity combined with small diameter; not much muzzle energy to work with. I could be wrong though. 5.56mm isn't much more powerful and it seems to work fine for BTU grenades.

I completely agree that had the G11 gone into large scale production there would have been a GL program alongside it. I would bet on a 40mm system.
