Benelli “Eleven-Five” Personal Edition
Benelli released the “Eleven-Five” at the same time as their 11.5mm caseless round that the weapon fires. The 11.5mm Benelli Caseless is a very heavy caseless round that was designed to provide performance exceeding that of all the standard handgun loads - something big enough to take down someone jacked up on dust and loaded with enhanced musculature. The end round is roughly as potent as the .50 Action Express round.
The Benelli Eleven-Five uses a top-loading magazine in a bullpup configuration to produce a gun with a fairly slim profile, large ammunition capacity and a barrel length suitable for the large amount of powder in the 11.5mm round. The gun still has a rising kick because of the heavy round, especially in full automatic fire.

I love the sound this one makes firing short bursts. It’s like a set of toms in an old-school metal band’s drum kit. Bum-ba-dum. Bum-ba-dum-bum.

Unfortunately the design lacks a decent set of iron sights, OR a decent mount to put your own optics on it. It’s also back-heavy, which is why it has that pronounced upwards kick when firing. All that aside, it makes for a nice piece of hardware if you take the time to smartlink it.

It looks and feels a little too plastic for my tastes. Especially with some of the major chains selling them in a variety of frame colours including WHITE. Guns should not be white.

That $650/Y650 seems rather cheap, even for a street price. Think about it. It combines the power of .50 Action Express with the need for battery ignition and full auto capability. I would have Prised it at around $850/Y850.

Why does it need Battery Ignition?

It’s a Caseless gun. That means something electric has to blow the charge.

No it doesn’t.
Caseless ammunition does not require an electric primer. The first caseless firearm was invented in 1848 and certainly didn’t use an electric ignition system. Sure, the Voere VEC-91 combined caseless ammunition and electronic firing, but the two technologies are not mutually inclusive. Until the Voere VEC-91, no other caseless round used electronic firing.

The problem with non-electrical caseless rounds is cookoff. In cased guns, the brass takes a lot of heat with it when it is ejected,but caseless gun don’t have have that luxury. So if you rely on thermally triggered propellant, you have to vent that heat quickly or risk cook-off. Electrochemical propellant doesn’t risk cook-off, so heat can be vented slower, as long as the internal parts can take the heat.
