So the charging handle is going to be behind shooter's ear? Quite unconventional approach

Yes, I really like the reliability factor that a weapon like that offers. Also I chose three grenades because if you have 3 grenades, you can hit 3 different targets. |

Why is the dial there? On the G11 it made sense where you manually advanced the cycle in case of a misfire but here you just have the bullet move into a box where $_magic happens and there's no rotation involved. Also for what it's worth ceramic is a pretty bad material for something that's going to be expended on the scale of bullets. Caseless propellant, sure, but in the end you can't really beat lead. |

Uh... she doesn't look like she'd be that easy to handle during combat. How does the grenade launcher load? I don't see any easy access points on the weapon. You manually cycle the action with a dial? If that's anything like the 'rocking' lever on the M3, it's not going to be simple or easily maintained. It seems that it'd be so short as to be a bit awkward- too little barrel to stabilize easily. Takedown for field-level maintenance doesn't look like it will be very much fun. Don't get me wrong, it looks sexy, just not my cup of tea. |

She really does have some refinements to make, but to answer your statement about field stripping, shes a supposed to be a solid state weapon. Basically, a weapon with very few moving parts. |

The grenade launcher loads by removing the barrel and inserting a new barrel into the weapon. Its like metal storm. That's also one of the reasons I gave the grenade launcher a 3-round magazine. |

That's where the action is. |

The weapon uses electric ignition, if haven't mentioned that. |

Well, look at FAMAS, AUG, Tavor or other bullpups. The charging handle can and should be located away from the action in a more accessible location. |
