I did not intend to imply that hardware is not important. I absolutely want the most reliable equipment possible. I would definately prefer the weapon that was designed from the ground up to be the all singing all dancing uber-gun, as long as it actually worked.
My comment was not terribly conducive to your intent, and for that I apologise.
A 9mm round performs pretty much the same whether launched from a custom Hi-Power or second-hand High-Point.
What I see to be the greatest issues now are ergonomics and durability. As was said before, we are at the fringe of technology. Until mega-sonic explosive-laden bullets become feasable, we will still be using more of the same.
Still, correcting a training short-coming with a material solution ususally doesn't do much to solve the problem.
