What are your top five SHOT show predictions and/or feasible wants this year

[Boomer10]

Any of the above would make me a happy gun buyer in 2010

I definitely agree on the 1/7 SBR barrel for the ACR. That would make me a happy gun buyer in 2011.

[subzero]

Things I want

1. A lighter weight barrel option for the LMT MWS.

2. 5.45 wishlist: caliber conversion for ACR, new magazine options, new domestic ammo options.

3. Daniel Defense 308 carbine based on SR25 pattern with the "Lighter, Stronger, Better" motto in mind!

4. FN announces their intent to cover the world in SCAR-H magazines.

5. Surefire 1 AA battery light like the E1B.

Any of the above would make me a happy gun buyer, but probably in 2012!

[Caeser25]

A patrol carbine from Glock?

And this, cheaper

[Armati]

A military grade 6V tac-light that takes AA batteries.

A military grade assault rifle in the $500-600 dollar range - perhaps properly executed AR-180.

Real M16A1 bbls in 1/12 or the original 1/14.

Straight 25rd AR mags like the OEM mag for the FAMAS.

See Trijicon put the RX06 14MOA chevron reticule in the RX30. And, while they are at it, take the electronic system in the RMR and put it in this same unit.

[kal]

A military grade assault rifle in the $500-600 dollar range - perhaps properly executed AR-180.

never gonna happen in this economy. Especially when it's "military grade" hardware. There goes added costs.

[500grains]

5. Proper milspec SIG 551 LB clone

Made in Switzerland, please. Not the sometimes cheesy stuff we see from Exeter.

[chadbag]

1. Rifle lenght MOE handguards

A little birdy told me this may be granted very soon.

[chadbag]

Doesn't shot show usually consist of firearms that are already out?

While displaying your current wares is a big part, lots of companies announce new things or show off things they are working on (and want public).

[JSantoro]

Only one prediction, and it's very feasible:

I am going to need bail $$$ for beating the living bejeezus out of one or several of those inconsiderate halfwits with the rolling milk-crates because the fat-lazy-stupid shwagwhores don't care whose shins they bang into with their hoard.

The only questions are what day(s) the beat-down(s) will occur, whether or not I will use their own crate to beat them like the world is running out of beatings.

[TOrrock]

SIG announcing the departure of Ron Cohen and a whole bunch of goose stepping pipe hitting Krauts coming over to clean house.

That would make me very happy.
