US Military Developing New Designs for Hypervelocity Firearms

Honestly there isn't much to innovate on. That jump from BP to smokeless cause a bunch of change due to smokeless's wondrous ability to not fuck everything up. Until we get some retard strength steel from a new metallurgy discovery we're stuck to what we got from the 1900's in terms of tech.

Then you have to deal with over-penetration in CQB, which runs contrary to the goals of counter-insurgency policy. The goal is to MINIMIZE the amount of collateral damage so that locals don't turn against you. Hard to do that when your spaceforce bullpup rifles fires FMJ at 3000 fucking feet per second that end up going through five buildings before stopping because you decided you needed a universal gun that can handle 600m+ engagements as well as building clearing.

This shit is UCP and the F-35 all over again. A shitty idea being passed through so they can try and justify having a "universal firearm" when the reality of warfare is that things are specialized or good fucking reason.

It's stagnant because any money they invest in reinventing the wheel will only lead to diminished returns. More often than not good enough is actually good enough.


And people wonder why the US can't put shitholes like Vietnam, Afghanistan or Iraq in their place.

Firing fast has never been an issue, we can do this since the 80s. Problem has always been barrel wear and temperature.

It's BS, they spread rumors of such things and foreign super power such as russia then start trying to develop the same thing and make gains in doing so, and the US then gets scientists and engineers working on such projects to defect.
That's how the US mil has always got it best stuff.

yea calling bullshit on that, sorry, i hope you're not from the south
