Rifling on the *outside* of the barrel? The SR-11 with firearms and weapons expert Jonathan Ferguson
This entry details the SR-11 Machine Carbine, an experimental Australian PDW designed by Russell Shepherd Robinson in 1944. It highlights the weapon's innovative 'constant recoil' concept, intended to reduce muzzle rise through a rotating barrel mechanism and a unique external helical fluting. The SR-11 also featured an auto-ejecting magazine for rapid reloads and a telescoping buttstock that doubled as a cleaning rod. Despite its advanced features, the SR-11 was not adopted due to post-war military procurement decisions and performance issues in semi-automatic fire. The information is presented with expert authority by Jonathan Ferguson, Keeper of Firearms and Artillery at the Royal Armouries.
