Nothing. It was on the verge of adoption. But the wall fell, and West Germany made the choice of propping up and supporting the filthy East German commies instead of adopting a fucking sweet-ass caseless spess gun.

Caseless ammunition had problems with expansion and heating up. It cannot be protected with current technology otherwise, caseless ammunition would be the go-to. With the same size and weight of 5 30 round magazines you could carry enough ammunition for the foreseeable engagement under pretty much any circumstance

The inception of such a complicated and impractical piece of shit.

Get over it. Space magic doesn't work in the field.
AK style rifles and M4 style rifles are popular because if you fuck them up, you can field repair in less than 5 minutes.
I don't feel like building a fucking grandfather clock inside my gun if I drop it.
Fuck off with this stupid rifle already.
