Here's the ACR report that details how all of the rifles performed, with detailed analysis on the G11 as well. TL;DR - the G11 and other ACR candidates had markedly worse hit probability then the M16 with iron sights.

Note the other issues with the G11 besides its poor hit probability:
The coolest ACR candidate sadly did not make it into the trials: plastic cased 5mm, 60rd full auto with low recoil, using 100% tracers to improve hit probability:
That ARES was fascinating, thank you. As a simple and stupid civilian, separate from military usage or application, I love tracer ammunition so very much.
We should throw up some AN-94 info in this thread as well. It seems as though both East and West we’re trying to get better hits by firing multiple projos before recoil could take effect. The answers we seemed to actually settle on were optics, free-floated barrels, and better trigger mechanisms.
It seems like there might be a real benefit to “balanced recoil”, if it could be implemented in a lighter, simpler sort of design. It seems like every shooting discipline, from clay shooting, to PRS, to action pistol and beyond have firmly settled in minimizing recoil to maximize performance.

Spyderco, Bergeron - thanks for all the info - these things are fascinating.

The Steyr candidate was also super sexy. Probably would have been reasonably cheap.
This awesome post needed to be shared.
