Guns have pretty much reached peak ergonomics, if nothing else. A lot of guns from the 20's, 30's and 40's look awful similar to today's guns. I don't see why they would look that different in 100 years.

>>32395738
To be fair, in the 20 years between 1930 and 1950, the kinds of rifles countries were using dramatically changed. Maybe there'll be some big innovation in the next decade and everyone will change.

"I say Blackadder, dosn't it annoy you when you're watching a play set in future days and they make believe that everyone still uses poppy-boom guns with musket-balls and powder stuffing and such? I just came from a show set in the year 2000 and everyone was still using muskets but they just shot more whizzy-nippers faster and didn't make as much smoke, and they had telescuppies strapped to the top part.

The concept art/prop production teams are now a bunch of freedom-hating nogunz cucks who think your average aftermarket floating barrel AR rail system is scary and more than "futuristic" enough for their movie.

Back in the 80's it was still "OK" for artsy film-production types to be into guns and glorifying violence, which is why you got such god-tier designs as the pulse rifle from Aliens. It also helped that it was a time where, thanks to projects like the G11 or the OICW not to mention real weapons like the SPAS-12, a e s t h e t i c futuregunz were in the US's cultural crosshairs.

t. art major.

To be fair though, we also live in a world where today you can buy shit like pic related from the factory and have something that makes everything short of a kitbuilt IRL Aliens Pulse Rifle or a G11 look boring and old-fashioned. It certainly doesn't help producers who want to be lazy.

Just about the only director who does movie guns right is Blomkamp, which makes sense since as an afrikaaner, he DEFINITELY grew up around them.

>>32395941
I was hoping they would have gone up a generation or two and given the First Order L1A1 or L85 based rifles instead of the stormtrooper's sterlings.

The rebels could get G3 or MP5-based guns, or even ones based on STG42's and 44's or MP40's.

But that would imply that Disney actually cares about that sort of OT-aware worldbuilding.

I thought they detailed Matt Damon as a badass with little military expertise other than being a general hoodlum very well by making him do some stupid mistakes like this.

This is future weapons done right. Of course now looking at it now might seem silly and bit dated but the idea are in the right place. I wish more movies would take more risk with prop design. The weapons from Avatar were a bit forgettable but the aircraft were inspired.

>>32397664
You shut your dirty whore mouth

>>32397540
Violent movies are still huge you retard

There are probably more guns than ever in pg13 movies

Honestly, I find the actual combat in movies to be a bigger annoyance than the weapons used... Like how enemies are completely fucking incapable of hitting a target 20 meters out, when they are not even behind cover or anything. Like, really? Not to mention how the only cover people ever seem to use in movies is crates and shit, and they never try to fire from prone in bushes or anything... ffs, this is probably the most immersion breaking part of movies for me.

>>32395712
Shut up Ian, there's still optics.

>>32395752
Cuz they lazy. The Aug is already considered a weird looking sci fi gun anyway, no real need to doll it up.

Also the drawn out fight between dudes with power armor where neither guy would punch the other guy's unprotected head.

the alien pulse rifle was based on a thompson (or was it an sks idk)

>>32403991
The props (which were built from a sketch by Aliens director James Cameron) were built by British film armorers Bapty & Co. and consisted of an M1A1 Thompson for the main gun and a cut-down Remington 870 as the grenade launcher, which was mounted underneath the Thompson's barrel and covered with the forend, heatshield and pump handle of Franchi SPAS-12 fitted the 870's action. The weapon was finished with a futuristic, custom-made aluminum shell painted in "Brown Bess" paint (although due to on-set lighting, the guns often appear olive green in Aliens). Several practical weapons capable of firing blanks were constructed for the production, although only one "hero" prop had a functioning shotgun unit.
