The Dead Man's Switch - Experimental Caseless Weapon(G11 Series - Modified Version)
This is a CE-Only unofficial expansion mod for DMS. Compatible with Muzzle Flash.
Adds fictional upgraded variants of the G11K2 caseless assault rifle and LMG11 light machine gun, based on HK (Heckler & Koch) designs.
——————————————————
The G11K3 is equipped with a 40x46mm underbarrel grenade launcher. In-game, it retains the G11’s signature ultra-high burst fire rate (1800 RPM in-game) and a lower full-auto rate (450 RPM in-game), while increasing magazine capacity from 45 to 50 rounds.
No manual RPM adjustment is needed—the G11K3 automatically switches between burst-fire (1800 RPM) and full-auto (450 RPM) modes.
[b]Due to RimWorld’s tick system, RPM values cannot include decimals (e.g., 1.1), so these rounded numbers are an imperfect representation of real-world performance.[/b]
The LMG11K2, meanwhile, is a light machine gun variant with a bipod, firing at 600 RPM and carrying 300 rounds. I’ve also included an automated turret version of the LMG11K2—a small testbed for secondary ammo functionality, featuring a 150+150 round capacity. ;)
——————————————————
[b]Neither design was particularly successful and underbarrel grenade launcher(UGL) in particular blatantly contradicts the G11's original design philosophy, as RimWorld’s combat environment isn’t well-suited for such small-caliber weapons. Thus, the 4.73x33mm caseless development program ended before evolving into a new firearm family, though these predecessors helped pave the way for the later 5x50mm caseless project.[/b]

[b]As I'm not particularly knowledgeable about individual infantry weapons, some odd design choices may have slipped in. Feedback is always welcome!

Below is the real-world LMG11 prototype structure. Since many people are unfamiliar with this light machine gun, I've included some reference images here:

The LMG11 also features an extremely complex mechanism, with its rotary bolt system incorporating three separate chambers.

The LMG11's ammunition is arranged perpendicular to the barrel, requiring a 90° rotation before feeding into the chamber. The proposed design features a 300-round capacity.

The LMG11 employs a rather unorthodox reloading method—inserting an entire 300-round ammunition block directly into the stock.
