Politics and procurements aside...maybe we have developed the concept, that is a device "capable of firing a projectile and using an explosive charge as a propellant" to it's end or peak. Afterall even when you consider the marginal improvements made with such things as free floating or piston operation, currents weapons are about as effective as thay can possibly be without a radical departure from the norm...that is not to say we have hit a wall...but where to go from here? caseless ammo...did someone say plasma or energy type weapon, seems almost science fiction even in these times. But it appears that ammunition developement is the next focus...smart bullets as it were. I am going to go get my SAA outta the safe now and fondle.
