Not sure if this has been discussed on here before (probably has, but it didn't immediately come up in a search) but what do you think is in store for us firearm wise in the future? I know that a lot of PD's are trying to get nonlethal weapons (that occasionally kill people), but I personally doubt that they will ever go entirely nonlethal, particularly the military. Being a fan of science fiction, there have been a few interesting suggestions, such as William Gibson's gun that simply fires a hail of flechettes, or his other gun thats a dart gun filled with shellfish poison, which is lethal enough to kill if it hits anywhere on the body. Personally i think in 100 years, there are still going to be people that carry 1911's chambered in .45 (if we are still "allowed" to that is), but what other calibers might become more popular? Might there even be a new caliber that bridges the gaps that currently exist (Is there really a need for something like say a .43 automatic?)? I'd like to hear any and all of your theories
