DARPA knocks down your door and kidnaps you in the middle of the night.
You are taken to an unknown location and are ordered to design a small handheld anti-personnel weapon. It should be effective against soft body armor, have an effective range of over 300 yards, and ammunition should be light enough so that the common soldier can carry a decent amount of it. You are given an unlimited budget and a significant amount of manpower and machinery to accomplish your task with.
What is your design?
Just get an AR, Anon.

Hand-held Nano-drone launcher
I read a paper a long time ago about gears and machinery at the atomic level.
Make drones out of that. Fire shotgun blast of tiny drones
>instantly scattered to the winds
I dunno underground or something. Fuck you.
They seek and destroy like a tiny puff of man killing powder.
Also it's the future. Fuck you.
nope c4 baseballs with steel ball bearings remote detonator or impact detonation .. light weight and devastating ....
meows up to 300 yards
Whatever I design, I use it to kill my kidnappers and free myself.
Fucking DARPA think they just kidnap me for whatever reason. Fuck you. Punk ass pencil pushers.

This is too broad a set of requirements.
What is "a decent amount"? For a short op, 2 extra mags is enough (Of course, this is assuming shit doesn't go Black Hawk Down).
Any modern rifle will pierce through soft body armor, and most PDWs can as well.
Honestly I'd probably just build a bullpup 5.56 rifle. XM193 will lance through AR500 at close range.

a small rocket launcher (15mm) that is filled with a bunch of extremely small spines coated in some poison, probably some type of nerve agent combined with a fragmenting shell and a few purpose designed beads inside. add a guidance system to the whole deal so you can shoot through windows and detonate over cover and you're set
the idea is that the enemy would be unaware of what the gun sounds like or it's normal use, so they'd be under cover then their squad leader would get his head blown off
they'd scream "they've got a grenade launcher", return fire, check their wounds, see a fuckton of tiny cunts
then they'd all slowly become sluggish, some would notice it, others would pass out
you advance with normal small arms and do whatever you want
