Even battle rifles are stagnant. Here we are, 40 years later, still using the M16.

Well ok then, we can put you in charge of PPOT R&D....what would YOU build to shake things up?
I love gadgetry, what 'cha thinkin' bro?
If they ever perfected caseless ammo that would be a big step forward i suppose. Since the G11 no one has really made a serious effort to field a caseless ammo small arms weapon though, at least not that i'm aware of.
What else is there?
I think the next revolution will be laser rifles or maybe portable rail guns or something. Firearms themselves are pretty close to perfected IMO.
