We're poised for an order of magnitude+ increase in battery capacity. I think this will drive some interesting developments in the field of puttin' holes in things and making things stop working. Militarily, small, self guided munitions. Thank and maybe large rail gun setups....I mean it is not a firearm so the feds can not say shit because you it is not a firearm, not combustion/explosive charge. |

For the foreseeable future, it's probably going to be more advancements in sights and lights as far as durability, battery life, and weight reduction. Caseless ammo maybe, but I think propellants will need to evolve. Maybe propellants that burn completely and not leave residue and carbon build up?

A wireless HUD unit, the size of current eye-pro. Like google glasses. Think like any FPS game you've ever played, with the crosshair center of screen.
Your rifle will have a laser that is tracked on your HUD so you can fire fairly accurate shots at close to medium range, by using the crosshairs instead of sights. It would also display the range so your just that much quicker when taking a long aimed shot. Maybe even a round counter, that works off the vibration or muzzle blast of the weapon. Firearms won't be changing much, as they are completely dependent on their ammunition. When ammunition changes, so will guns. So until then just gadgets and accessories, are what really are gonna change in the next 20 years. |

I'm gonna have to say caseless ammo with electronic ignition. Metal storm was almost there with the solid state action but reloading is a bitch. A bull pup, caseless, non-mechanical ignition, solid state action that is easily reloadable, accurate, ergonomic, and ambidextrous is the obvious goal. Doubt it will ever all come in one package though. Edit: add active recoil management, and... If a sniper can truly read mirage(wind) at distances between himself and the target at various distances by adjusting the parallax, a properly designed and programmed optic (with a rangefinder) should be able to do the same and given the correct load data and previous shot data, an algorithm should be able to calculate a best chance trajectory shot and place an electronic reticle at the correct location within the scope. lol |

Semi caseless ammo will be the future.
The case would end just about wheree case head separation occures, the cartidge would then headspace off this, it would use a standard type primer and the new cartidge would use a propellant that will not fire under heat only from the primers pressure eleminating the cook off problem the g11 had. The case head would also help remove some heat from the chamber, less ejection errors will ocure due to the reduced surface area of the case. The advantages would be less weight, potentially higher performance and lower cost. |
