If anyone knows any reputable sources with information on caseless ammo it would be greatly appreciated.

Another thought would be to look into the development of "Metal-Storm", because isnt that another application of caseless ammo??
Pretty sure 'Cartridges of the world' also has some info on caseless ammo for the G11, but cant recall detail.
