Capacitor tech has a long way to go before they could reduce the bulk on that thing.

But the tech needed to actually shrink it down enough to be a useful infantry weapon would revolutionize everything from drones to electric vehicles in the process.
The gun as it is now has two very serious but easily fixed problems:
it keyholes like a motherfucker - you can see in the slow-mo how the slug thrashes around in the barrel, that should be fixed by reducing the caliber
the magazine - needs a stronger spring and rollers in the lips to reduce friction caused by that
Have seen the Malyuk pop up recently in some vids, seems to be a decent weapon.

Ruger SR1, 1911 .45Auto pistol. Two world wars etc., yadda yadda. After the Glock I wanted a proper steel framed classic pistol. I didn't feel like going CZ, so I went with the classic. Springfield is quite hard to get in Germany, so Ruger it is.

Beretta 1301 Competition, everyone needs a shotgun I've been told. You can't go wrong with the Italians. Beretta has been making guns for a really long time after all.
Next time I'm in Berlin you're taking me to a shooting range goddammit :)
You better get in the queue. :DQuote:

6.8×51mm is a new design (2019), it could be the future standard, US Army asked for M240 6.8×51mm conversion kit. (wiki said)Quote:

Only lately we have learned armor plates supposed to stop 5.56 in a major conflict are made out of cardboard and/or stolen iPads/Macbooks.Quote:
