H&K G11

The H&K G11 is a small gun in Fallout 2.

Characteristics
Using 4.7mm caseless ammo, the H&K G11 does 1.5 times it's nominal damage: 15-30 damage per round, together with a negative DR modifier, makes it one of the better options against well-protected enemies, even in single-fire mode. Two bursts are likely to kill a Wanamingo, three most certainly will.

It's major downside is that ammunition is virtually unavailable in the north, while the places where more ammo can be bought will also sell better weapons: the .223 Pistol will outdo the G11 in single-fire mode regardless of armor, while the H&K P90c has more powerful bursts by virtue of firing more than twice as many rounds at once. The G11 is a versatile weapon that will do well in either role, but in a game where one can easily switch between two weapons, that isn't exactly a selling point.

However, the player's first G11 is probably the one taken from Frog Morton on top of the Wanamingo Mine, before either alternative is available. At that point, the G11 is likely to be the most powerful weapon available and can immediately be put to good use, at least until ammo runs out.

Although the G11 is an assault rifle and a two-handed weapon, it uses the SMG animation when firing. This means that Sulik and Lenny can use this weapon, while John Cassidy and Vic cannot.
