Caseless Ammunition

I understand that the “case” is made of something that breaks apart when the bullet is fired, but how does a bunch of residue not build up quickly?

Caeless ammo might have a “case” like powder bags in artillery or non at all like what G11 used, If the propellant is a single solid piece around the projectile or in bags that will combust just like propellant if you have a case, There will be some residue from both but with the right composition is can be minimal.

Caseless ammunition is not common for direct-fire weapons that do not use a black blast system. If you for example use it in a assault rifle one major problem is heat, the case gets hot and removes heat so the gun will get warmer quicker with careless ammo.

Caseless ammo is quite common for indirect fire weapons and backblast weapons like Hoizter, mortars, RPG etc.
