Evolution of weapons in modern warfare.

[LR1955]

Gene, I'd be interested in learning what direction you think the development of military small arms and ammo should take to be best prepared for the future. Care to share your thoughts?

Stan / Guys:

I have said this before on the forum. A couple of times too. The future will lie in some sort of directed energy. Unless someone can come up with a quantum leap in powder composition resulting in double the muzzle velocity with half the current pressure, in a container half the size and weight of our current cartridges, we have about hit the limits of powder technology and kinetic energy projectiles.

I think this is the direction we are already taking although it is just R&D.
