Cowbow Bebop is set in 2071 and all the firearms featured are

Gun designs pretty much peaked and everyone's pushing out Glock clones so yes, we'll be using the same shit forever.

>>34077914
Well, the 1911 is still used quite a bit, as well as a lot of DA revolvers with 75+ year old tech, so while today's guns may not be most used in 2071, there will be plenty of nostalgia fags out there carrying Glocks

>>34077987
I would pay to see a time where people are actually nostalgic over Glocks.

Any particular technology eventually gets to a point where it's 95% as good as it's ever going to get, and after that all we'll see will be slow refinements. Guns are at that point now, and have been for about 50 years. There's no reason to believe that the next 50 will be much different.

>>34077914
Pretty much so, yeah. Unless there exist major breakthroughs in energy technology (think lasblasters, other directed energy weapons, Gauss guns, etc.), you'll still have people arguing over 7.62x39mm vs 5.45x39mm vs 5.56x45mm on their 2070s iNeuralImplants.

The AK is a pretty old design at this point, but there are still plenty of rifles manufactured in the 60s and 70s kicking around in 3rd world combat zones and as parts kits builds alike.

>>34077965
Until energy weapons.

>>34077914
We have Fudds in this current year still using pistols designed 106 years ago pretending nothing better has been invented since

God I hope we're still using these things

Advances we'll see by 2100

>Polymer Cases
>Recessed/telescoping ammunition

Without a doubt we'll be seeing the same shit - ammo advances will improve feed geometry (Telescoping ammo) and propellants.
Advances in propellants will give small caliber rounds, like PDW ammo like the 5.7, better performance.
But otherwise the same shit will be largely adapted and used.
The only thing we may see truly out of the ordinary is a return of pistols without reciprocating slides

>>34078029
By 2070 1911's will still be a thing - shooting supersonic telescoped plastic case .45

>>34078028
Energy weapons are a meme, too inefficient and no mass to add kinetic energy.

Electromagnetically accelerated projectiles are the future.

Probably just an advance in propellant technology so gunpowder produces drastically less flash and more energy. Won't be as substantial a change as smokeless powder and new models of current guns will meet the need.
On the plus side better propellants will make small caliber PDW ammunition perform much more like current intermediate rifle ammo

>>34078203
The next great break in firearms tech will be projectiles capable of moving at 1/15th to 1/6th the speed of light. Odds are Electromagnetic acceleration will be paired with chemical propellants - a Chemrail makes the most sense anyway

>>34078237
How much would a chemrail heat up the handguard?

first better weapons need to be designed
then they need to be manufactured/tested
then doctrine has to catch up
then enough need to be produced to actually replace our current generation
then the price needs to come down enough for people to make the switch

at that point our generation of weapons will be throw away pieces used by tomorrows niggers

Full retard.

Kinda makes me think on the TV show Firefly. In a huge civil war you see both armies using modern day assault rifles (G36's, L85A1's a FAMAS here and there) and an anti air emplacement consists of old soviet DsHK machine guns that were made to fire some kind of energy projectile if memory serves right. Later it's a lot of lever actions and revolvers you see on border worlds still using combustion and solid projectiles. And at the same time you have more modern day weapons that have seemingly been retrofitted to fire energy projectiles (like an M60 pintle mounted to a hover car that is firing solid yet energy rounds)

Maybe future generations will have a very good "if it's not broke, make it fire plasma bolts," mentality

>>34080983
You need to be 18 to post here.

>>34081038
We see revolvers and lever-action rifles and all that, because they wanted that western feel to the show. I think they still have that space mumbo jumbo in them though, not just good ol' gunpowder.

Also becsuse border world outlaws and poorshits and all that.

The Alliance and Core worlds use lasers and sonic guns and other more futuristic shit.

>>34077914
While rifle design is still seeing significant improvements and will likely continue seeing improvements for the foreseeable future (M855A1 and the LSAT program being good examples). Handgun design is pretty much hitting its upper limits, at least until we get improved powder and metallurgy that would allow for intermediate caliber SCHV rifle ballistics (think current 5.56 from a 8"+ barrel) from a normal ~8" long service pistol. We can get rifle like ballistics out of a normal service pistol currently with .460 Rowland, but that uses the same fat/heavy bullets that pistols normally use and would generate similar felt recoil to normal .44 magnum loads if it wasn't for the muzzle brake that is required when doing the conversion. Beyond that we'll just see more companies putting out significantly customizable grips, modular frames, and slides cut for red dot sights (all of which can either be done with existing pistols or just offers an alternative to finding a pistol that fits you well out of the box currently/adjusting to your pistol). This is all of course assuming that external factors don't change such as people's preferences when it comes to pistol calibers or if lightweight body armor proliferates and people want to punch through it rather than just shoot around it (though 9mm ammunition capable of penetrating an NIJ IIIa vest is already available).

>>34080785
>50 years from now, the army will still be using an AR platform
No, they won't. Look up the LSAT program and the ridiculous improvements the polymer cases have shown over conventional 5.56, then consider that the feeding mechanism that those cases need won't fit into an AR in any reasonable way.

>>34080876
Caseless ammo likely won't go anywhere any time soon. It basically has all of the advantages that caseless ammunition has over current conventional ammunition with none of the downsides that caseless ammunition has.

>>34078753
Take that back you whore

>>34081183
I should add that even if caseless ammunition or the LSAT designs PCTA proliferates when it comes to rifles those designs can't really be applied to any pistol ammunition that isn't bottlenecked due to the extra diameter they would add, and bottle necked pistol cartridges really aren't that popular today anyways because the bottle necked pistol ammunition doesn't actually offer much of an advantage over existing pistol ammunition so it isn't very likely that companies would spend money developing caseless ammunition/PCTA based on existing bottlenecked pistol ammunition. Also, the weight savings from caseless ammunition/PCTA won't make much of a difference with normal fat/heavy bullets since the bullet is by far the heaviest part of the case and how people generally don't carry much pistol ammunition (even removing the weight of the case completely from current 9mm ammunition would only give you a 7 ounce difference in weight carried assuming you were carrying 3 17 round magazines worth of ammunition).

>>34081540
>getting rid of the ejection process is huge and very practical
No, it's not. In a video game world it might be, but in reality there's still the possibility of failures to fire or wanting to unload your gun without firing it, both of which necessitate provisions for ejection. Caseless guns like the HK G11 do in fact have ejection ports. Also, the polymer cased telescoped ammunition from the LSAT program can use the same feed systems as caseless ammunition.

>Muh ambitious DoD concept will be adopted this time, I swear.

The military is such a stupid fucking organization. They have spent billions looking for a replacement for the M4, yet the programs always produce something that is slightly better with more potential problems.

Mean while, opperaters end up choosing M4s and other more practical weapons when given the option to carry memepups like the F2000.

Because of current gun laws, and the difficulty of getting into the industry, flsmall arm innovation is stuck.

Every recent upgrade to military small arms has been well tested civilian owned products. Mlok, keymod, floating tube, ect.

I'm willing to bet that the LSAT program is shelved after trials. Then they will start a new program to study some really stupid fucking idea.

Meanwhile, more Americans will die for nothing in the middle East, while gear queers jerk off to the knew DoD military industrial charity program.

>Muh ambitious DoD concept will be adopted this time, I swear.
Have you even read about the program? A huge difference this time is that the goals for the program weren't ridiculously ambitious like a 50%-100% improvement in gun effectiveness or weighing 4 lbs with an automatic grenade launcher attached (like the ACR, SPIW, and similar programs), the improvement goals have already been met, and the improvements can't simply be tacked on to the existing M4 like they could with the recent improved carbine program.

>yet the programs always produce something that is slightly better with more potential problems.
Except the LSAT program hasn't seen any of those problems yet, would offer massive logistics improvements due to the smaller/lighter ammo which amounts to large cost savings in the constant overseas wars that the US is in, would offer improvements in reliability that can't be achieved with conventional ammunition, and would replace the M249 with a gun that weighs half as much and has outperformed the M249 in the testing they have done.

Basically the only way they could fuck up the program is if they did something retarded, like demand that the current 6.5mm alternative to 7.62 NATO that the LSAT program is also working on be used for everything or other ridiculousness that would amount to purposely trying to make a successful program that has met every goal fail.

See the post here: >>34081336, while the post is about new caseless designs, some of the same points apply. It would make very little difference in weight and effectiveness when it comes to handgun ammunition and wouldn't be worth the cost of developing a completely new gun action/ammo.

>>34082401
My thoughts were once small arms go to caseless ammo then we can begin the process of making them like recoiless rifle. You'd still have to worry about a backblast area but it wouldn't be nearly as big since the round being shot is smaller.
That advancement will probably never happen though since the design of the gun would likely be awkward.

>>34082437
>That advancement will probably never happen though since the design of the gun would likely be awkward.
Not only would it be awkward due to you needing part of the gun to extend behind you (which would prevent it from being used in pistols, but those Russian balanced recoil designs achieve significant recoil reduction without the awkwardness and seem to make more sense for use in small arms.

Is Cowboy Bebop any good?

I watched Akira and I think the movie was a tolerable piece of entertainment. The music was especially good and so was the /comfy/, futuristic, neo-noir atmosphere. That being said, the style of art in that movie is pretty cringy and gay (e.g., the characters having goofy, cartoony faces and white gums with no demarcations for individual teeth).

Is Cowboy Bebop worth watching? Anime comes across as a pretty gay fetish for a subculture of bizarre American suburban dweebs who, for some inexplicable reason, decided to turn a Japanese cultural creation into their shared interest.

Do you only anime fags like Cowboy Bebop or is there something worth watching there for neurotypicals?

>>34082495
>Is Cowboy Bebop any good?

It's alright, but the movie sucks.

>>34082495

Bebop is bretty good even for normies.
I used to be a massive weeb and Bebop is one of the few shows I'm not embarrassed about.

maybe not, it's not like caseless ammo is anywhere near as big a breakthrough as cased ammo was, but it's something. We've seen very little firearm innovation in the last 60 years

I'm actually kind of curious to see how tobacco products evolve. Also, Bebop's level of attention to detail is insane.

>>34078203
Depends. area denial by induced ionization will be deployed as a less lethal means for sure. Power is only going to get cheaper. Or at least it production will only keep increasing which may contribute to it's cost effectiveness

>>34082331
Depends on the polymer. I wouldn't try it with shellac or wood. but some plastics can kinda sorta do it.

1911. Will we be using glocks 100 years from now? Yeah I think so.
They just won't be 100 year old like my 1911. They be new but still glocks.

It would make sense they'd use old guns seeing as they're poor fags in the show.

Always thought it was weird that Gundam X had real-life small arms when the rest of the series goes for generic sci-fi pistols and assault rifles.

Not that I mind. It was cool seeing the doc break out a Hi-Power and learn that a rebuilding army that is manufacturing state-of-the-art mecha built for space psychics is still using the G3.

Perhaps you could explain it as Gundam X being a post-apocalyptic setting, and thus the people in it wouldn't be using anything "futuristic".

Bebop is distinctly western, but, more than anything, is unique. Mix the class of Oceans Eleven, and any number of westerns and mob movies in there, add in some sci-fi, and you have Cowboy Bebop.

It is a genre unto itself, and that's the best way I can describe it.

I watched it before I really got into anime, then started watching some others that have some similarities. It's what got me into anime, really.

>>34077914


Guns reached their peak already, coming up with anything beyond that is reinventing the wheel. The real question is what kind of ammo will they be using, that's where all the untapped ideas lay.

>>34085895

I don't really know what to watch after Cowboy Bebop to be honest, and it's disappointing. I don't watch much, if any anime, but Cowboy Bebop was definitely worth it.

>>34085230
you're not looking hard enough, I just saw 4 on gunbroker

I assume military weapons will have all sorts of sensors and computers and shit on them. Also at some point robots will do all the fighting anyway.

But if you're looking for something as good as Cowboy Bebop in any type of media, the list is extremely short.

exactly. I'm not Jericho unless it's a 941F with that rollmark. None of this "Baby Eagle" nonsense.

They're no longer being imported by Magnum Research under the Babby Desert Eagle name.

Now they just say "Israel Weapon Industries" instead of "Israel Military Industries" on the slide.

>rail

I bet your Glock 30 has a rail on it too. Rail-less Jerichos and Ski-Hump P99s have top tier aesthetics. It's a shame they're pretty hard to find in decent shape these days.
>>34086131
>>34086131
I wish my rail-less Jericho was imported by KBI so it would say "Jericho 941" on the side instead of "Desert Eagle Pistol" but the fact that Spike's grips are basically non-existent made me realize I couldn't get 100% accuracy anyway.

>>34086157

Can confirm, Trigun is pretty rad. This anon knows what's good.

>>34077914
yes. Until we miniaturize and ruggedize laser firing pins, and solenoidal trigger groups, and then also create viable long life long storage batteries, we will probably be using the same guns for a long, long time.

"we" could probably do this soon if there was demand for it, but there is not, not to say if it was mass produced it would not be consumed if on an even footing for cost, however there are hurdles to that.

>>34086119
>>34086417
I would love to own Vash's revolver

>>34077914
Honestly, more or less as in most aspects will be familiar.
Exact same models? Probably.


People seem to forget the things firearms do is actually very simple and the vast majority of it was already figured out 100 years ago. They're pretty much just modified engines. It's only the details, materials, and what how we put all the bits together that's changed.

The same goes for ammunition. For the most part, nearly every combination of bullet weight and charge have been experimented with already at some point ever since reloading was possible. It's just kinda funny when you hear "some agency is trying to develop a new round to do xyz" when it's probably already been done before. Yeah you can open up some possibilities when you develop new powders and bullets but if there's a big book of all the loadings done you can pretty much pick something very very close to what you want.
As for energy weapons, there would need to be an enormous jump from what we have now to get them to work. You wouldn't even be able to run one by plugging it into a home outlet without some form of storage. If anything we'll see the caseless ammo nut be cracked before energy weapons or personal rail/gauss rifles.

I can see flechette rifles like the AAI replacing the AR platform for sheer penetration. Energy weapons are scifi bullshit outside of vehicle mounted weapons and caseless ammo will always be impractical because of heat issues.

You're about as likely to find a new P99 as you are a used gen 1 P99 most of the time, so I would just pick whichever comes up first unless you care about the rail or extended mag release paddle.
It's a good gun either way, but new P99s are pretty fucking hard to come by since Walther seems to barely make any. Even though the new P99 looks worse in my opinion, the rail is nice if you need it and the extended mag release is fantastic.

I've found a shop that has some on order nearby, but they don't have any idea when the order will be fulfilled. It sounds like they make one short run of them every year or something and then there's no more until next year. I've considered just getting the 40, but that seems too far from the anime for my taste. I don't have anything that shoots 40 though and I've been looking for an excuse to get one, then I'll have all the common semiauto pistol calibers covered.
