>>87398431
caseless is shit, nobody's solved it yet and nobody is likely to (but it would fit on an M4 if it worked).
3d printing is literally worse at everything and always will be.
Better materials will make an m4 lighter and cheaper.

The M4 platform is pretty realistic.

>>87398188
>realistic as ever since The US are incredibly stubborn and have a raging hard on for that rifle

The advantages for replacing it are pretty small compared to the cost of replacing it. Firearms technology simply isn't advanced enough to call for replacing the entire platform.

>>87398512
Not only was it made in the distant past it is an AWFUL design. There's like 100 tiny intricate fragile parts in the trigger alone. G11 is one of the worst guns ever made but it does actually work, thus kraut space magic.

>>87398223
muskets,flintlocks,crossbows lances and clubs aint broke its just that theres better shit and if you're gonna write a scifi hundreds of years in the future you can come up with a better personal weapon then a 20th century firearm .

atlest guns firing programmable caseless microrockets EM\ionizing weapons for millitaries\poeple with money and cheap 3d printable guns firing caseless ammo for poor\criminals .

as for gopros they'd have cams on their closed circulation suits if they actually land anywhere with alien life (which means both the oxygen they breath in and co2 they breath out stays in the suit to not contaminate the planet) as contact with microscopic alien life is 99.99999% likely to fucking kill them.

You must be being intentionally dense. Are you saying they should have gone unarmed instead of taking old weapons? The only purpose of the weapons on their mission was crowd controlling the colonists, they didn't even expect to find plant life there, so waiting until they colonised the planet would defeat the purpose.

Prometheus and Covenant are a lot more enjoyable when you think of them as David's story instead of Alien prequels.

That is a huge forehead.

If you plan to colonise a planet you might as well take your helmet off. A planet with life on it WILL have potentially dangerous micro organisms on it even if the colonisation is a complete success. Earth has countless dangerous bacteria, fungi, protazoa etc. One thing they wouldn't find on an alien planet is dangerous viruses.

Walking around an alien planet without a helmet would be as dangers as walking around Africa with no helmet. No HIV infected locals though.

They were going to a shitty planet to colonise and then found a way better planet. It doesn't matter if there are micro organisms. It doesn't matter if they take their helmets off. There is no way to sterilise and entire planet. They have to take the helmets off eventually.

Earth has dangerous microorganisms. Micro organisms specifically adapted to fucking with humans. Do you wear a helmet?

>you can come up with a better personal weapon then a 20th century firearm
Can you? Chemical explosives offer a very light and compact way of storing energy, and mass moving at a few hundred m/s is a damn eficient way of killing things; strikes a nice balance between destructive potential and weight. What are they gonna do in the future, carry fusion reactors on their backs to power railguns? Because it's actually not physically possible. You could MAAAAYBE use antimatter to power handheld directed energy weapons, but that's not exactly the safest thing to run around with in combat. And if you increase the power of the weapon, before long you'll simply need too much mass to deal with the waste heat anyway.

If you're gonna start naming things like gravity guns or lasers that tap into alternate universes for power, fine, whatever. Just don't assume it's the future, because it's fantasy.

By that time, they would likely have inch-sized micro-cameras attached to their suits. No need for cumbersome go-pros.
But I guess they made it so the technology would look somewhat retro, like the original Alien, and it kind of works.

Hick's shotgun was cool because it was so obviously not standard issue and it was so obviously not his primary weapon. If I saw a soldier with an antique six-shooter as a sidearm in a modern battlefield, I would consider him a badass. If I saw a whole squad of soldiers with fucking lever guns as primary weapons, I would consider them, their armorer and their officers to be total fucking morons.

Having M4s in the series that gave us pulse rifles and smart guns is lazy and retarded.

Probably to not look odd having better weapons and tech than the movies that are supposed to succeed it.

The pulse rifle had 100 rounds of caseless ammunition in a magazine smaller than an M4's, and an underslung grenade launcer that fired a shitload of grenades. There's no way they made that leap after hundreds of years spent tweaking the same shitty M16.
