>Next advancements
Caseless, lightweight ammunition designed to pierce armor

Lightweight weapon systems capable of sustained fire and suppression

Proliferation of Airburst weapons that will re-write infantry combat (Cover=killed) making it about who can suppress whom first and follow up with airburst

Advancing armor tech and battlefield medicine that will lead to a higher survival rate/quicker casualty care

>Once we make a breakthrough in battery tech
So much cool shit.

Railguns/coilguns with vacuum sealed barrels via plasma window allowing for cray-cray velocities.

LIPC weapons (My penis can only get so erect)

Plasma window shielding

Power armor

Basically plasma and lasers everywhere, nigga. LIPCs get my dick so hard I cannot wait. I hope to see them become weaponized in my lifetime.

I mean its tech that's in its infancy but the ability to negate cover doesn't seem like a meme to me, friend. Yeah they may be pricey, but its nothing compared to the price of the shit you're dropping in CAS or CCA

We'll find a way to nigger rig it.

Shit, the most impressive coilgun I've seen was built by a youtube hobbyist. It was automatic and had roughly the same power as a pellet gun. That doesn't sound impressive until you realize that most coilguns aren't even nearly that powerful.

Civilians have the knowledge, and we'll get the tech somehow. Even if it's ripping the "super 1000 day between charge" batteries out of our iPhone 32's

what movie??

>>29584021
In the short term, ETC. Cannon applications too small for railgubs will start switching over in the next decade, and eventually all chemical projectile weapons will use electronic ignition.

>>29585612
What the fuck is it doing?

>>29585776

>>29586256
My guess, it's a chemical propellant (read:Gunpwder) fed railgun.

>>29586288
Perhaps chemical/electromagnetic hybrid?

>>29586296
>Perhaps chemical/electromagnetic hybrid?
Yes, that's what I was trying to get across. A regular bullet is accelerated by the gunpowder, and when it makes contact with the rails it completes the circuit and is further accelerated.

Most of the wear and tear of a railgun is created when the projectile is not yet in motion.

>>29584021
That looks like every gaming computer

>>29584021
Actually good and practical smart guns, electro-thermal propellant, guided bullets, computer FCS, new lighter weight and higher strength materials.

electronic ignition and/or caseless ammo

The point is to get the amount of moving parts down to zero. Railguns are probably the endgame of projectile weaponry, materials permitting you would only need one moving part (the trigger completing a circuit) to shoot. Laser weapons could fall into this category as well, however most lasers are done with chemicals which require lots of complicated plumbing.

My guess would be a type of smart gun that would have targeting and other features such as ammo count, barrel temperature, etc. integrated with user armor (TALOS in particular).

>My guess, it's a chemical propellant (read:Gunpwder) fed railgun.

Good guess:

The ChemRail has a high rate of fire, and its high-velocity rounds rip right through walls and shred enemies. The rifle fires 8.75x52mm FSDRAS (Fin Stabilized, Discarding Rail Accelerator Sabot) rounds with a muzzle energy of 18 kilo joules. It is a dual-stage weapon, use chemical propellant first and then electro-magnetic rails as the second stage.

Anyone familiar with calibers close that wanna take a guess at the mass of the projectile so I can calculate the muzzle velocity using the muzzle energy?

Anon....thats old news.

>>29589082
Also don't forget to take the fact that it's a sabot into account.

>>29588241

It was rated about right. Great effects with a shitty, preachy script and the only good actors played villains
