In this special episode Matt has the privilege of field stripping a Heckler & Koch G11. He strips the rifle down into its major assemblies and then explains how the 'space magic' works!
Matt explains how the recoil management system, that compensated for the recoil of firing a 3-round burst at ~2,000rpm, worked and how rifle's ingenious rotating breech operated. This video demonstrates just how complex and ambitious the HK G11 was!

The Praga I was the first machine gun design from noted Czech arms designed Vaclav Holek. Three examples were made for Czech military testing in 1922, but they were not acceptable.
