Why don't we see any weird or fantastical guns anymore?

Because whenever anyone tries something new people complain it's not a glock or tacticool enough.

Because the simpler it is, the easier it is to use.

fuck off

What is the G11 anon? or the FN2000/P90? M8?

We still make over the top guns is just that they according to modern styles of futuristic, tactical and streamlined aesthetics.

g11 isnt modern
>implying that bullpups are some new amazing tech
>implying theres anything special about the fn2000 aside from forward ejection
>implying theres anything special about the p90 aside from its magazine and some special .22 magnum

Anon, is like you have never seen a personalized AK, is exactly what you are asking for.

Because all the wacky ideas were solutions for problems of the time. Through the course of technological evolution we've worked out a lot of kinks in guns.

We've reached a plateau in innovation.

>>32201111
because of efficiency. We have not been able to truly make anything more efficient than what already exists yet, and when something works you continue to use it until something that is simpler or more efficient comes along, wierd and fantastical do not go much further than a prototype stages unless they do something worth investigating further.

You can make models in CAD software and realize they're stupid before you actually build something thats stupid

>>32201111
I guess it's becuase we've figured out what works for the most part...

I got you, senpai.

implying there's anything special in the OP apart from the double barrel and cylinder

>>32201190
>g11 isnt modern

Well since OP was putting a revolver I though that he was talking about anything beyond 1960.

And where you asking for over the top designs or mechanisms? These are different concepts.

Because then you have over the top designs like MAG-7, bizon, calico, any californianM4...

Or weird mechanisms, Pancor(in fact, this one could fill 2 categories), AN-94, Vektor(again both categories).

simple works
simple sells
simple can be made in bulk
bulk production is cheaper
cheap to produce item that's simple & reliable = profits: lots of.
I'm a bit disappointed that thing doesn't have an undermounted shotgun barrel-ette.

People are too stupid to make their own guns.
