Tribute to HK LMGs! These guns are effing fantastic-built off the original G3 they're also closed bolt and share half of all parts. However,they're rare,especially in Africa though in Kenya they're much loved by anyone whose compared with an M60 or 240. Its nearly a whole 5 kg lighter and has a 30% higher rate of fire than the former. This KDF guy has the HK 11 7.62 NATO. Btw,I've seen it written the first SEALS preferred this to the 5.56 mm Stoner.

Alas,they're out of production like their parent the G3 which leads to the question:why didn't anyone modify these LMGs and the G3 also for today? Lighter composites and modernised production techniques should resurrect these battlefield icons. Look at the M4,now remade by HK, all major gunmakers and smaller design houses.
Why not the HK LMGs and the G3? They're battle proven for 60 years!
