I wanna try "modular" approach now - rifle that would still look somewhat big but would consist of separate parts.
If you mean the kind to boost power eg. turning a SMG to a full rifle
to a sniper rifle, well, this is practically difficult to design.BINGO! But as some say it's intimidating. Of course if it's possible some would say "COOL!"AlexT wrote:
Maybe transformable, though it's not very realistic - there's no
excuse in moving parts even in laser rifle except for stock and handle.
If it able to transform to become smaller - why not to make it such in
the first place..Or Judge Dredd's gun with variable ammo.
Well, my transformable gun fron some anime is better.AlexT wrote:
Bbtw, Mass Effect has very cool transformable guns:(pistol/rifle/sniper)
Also the Gundam Turn A transforable weapons are also more efficient.
Mass Effect just jumps on with some unnecessary extra mechanics from what I saw on the add.Well, if it got two 'barrel' why not put the other above instead of theAlexT wrote:
Btw, cool gun design:

seemingly purposeless overhead? In this design class Kite's gun is
nice, too, althought, the same design was used long ago by some other
anime I don't remember.Well, there are people who can but those don't last long.AlexT wrote:
And no way someone can use M60 efficiently like that...For some reason the big guys are always the first to break. They can only go faster or carry more.
Yeah.AlexT wrote:

As for laser rifle - both 2 hands and stock are needed for accuracy.
Even BB rifle need it to be efficient at 200-300 m, i'm not even
talking about 500-1000. It depends on experience of shooter a lot, but
you still want em for your average abh soldier, though our
hecto-commander prefer to dual wield pistols since he figured that his
abh nature allow him to be very ambidexterous which is also result of
his love for knives.and the aim corrected by the computer.
200m is normal. 400m is battlefield, but that is passe since WWII.
Without a scope a sniper trainee must shoot a certain distance further with a normal rifle.
These guys have those natural super vision. A gifted person can only hit as far as 250m.
I could do that with a bad aligned iron sight.It's brutal.AlexT wrote:
Btw, why Abhs would want bayonets? Unlike our crazy
HC average abhs don't like knives and any other "cold" weapons. It's
not elegant...you know - blood, guts and ...
Who said they don't like knives? You know there are people who collect
shiny engraved but utterly useless and low quality knifes.
But would you go on a battlefield without a backup if your gun fails?
I wouldn't be surprise if there is a rifle that has a bayonet stored in it which reveals itself when needed.
Edit:
I also like Liam's handgun from Earth Final Conflict
On of the most compact designs.
Other guns from that show:

Maybe I should say some more on differences between normal guns and future weapons tech.
Aside from before mentioned points lets go deeper into the inner workings.
Normal gunpowder weapons need only a few parts:
-a barrel with breach
-firing pin mechanism (simple, semi-auto, full-auto etc.)
-trigger & safety mechanism
-extras (for cooling, handgrip, iron sight, scope etc.)
Future weapon technology will obviously be designed to be in similar parts for convenience:
-weapon system
-firing, trigger & safety system
-extras
However, the weapon system itself is very complicated compared to a simple barrel.
It is likely to be custom designed for the specific weapon design.
The
core cannot just be exchanged for a more powerful core, because the
circuits directing or regulating the power also have to be replace.
Since the firing or control system consist of some 'chips' a change of the weapon system would practically equal a new weapon.
For the same reasons 'extending' or boosting components are difficult to make work.
Somehow
these will have to be integrated into the core weapon system and still
not exceed the limits of the power circuits, which is unlikely.
In order to make these possible
1- the power control circuit of the weapon has to be a part of it's own.
2- the 'firing core' or emitter
Of course if you can make it that powerful then why not doing so from the start?
For
example, in Star Trek the phasers have the electronic
control&safety circuit, the power&trigger control, (plasma
generator) prefire chamber, emitter.
Here, the prefire chambers and emitter could be replaced, as intended for Phaser Type I&II.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now to electron lasers.
The weapon has at it's core a electron power regulator, which usually is an accelerator.
Then the electron are directly used for light generation or another medium is used for the transition of energies.
Here the accelerator is the power limit, so is the medium.
Let's say the accelerator component consist of superconductors which could manage more power flowing through them.
If so then by expanding the volume or number of mediums the weapon could be upgraded.
Only
problem remaining is the emission. The original medium emits light at
the front which will be occupied by the extra medium, so the light
emission has to be redirected as to include both original and extra
medium emission.
So the my scifi solution would be Laser ducting through the mediums:
A
design which somehow allows the light produced by the medium to be
directed into a special channel. This channel formes the final laser
beam.
By stacking mediums and channel extentions a weapon could be upgraded.
Downside: the weapon's nuzzle design is simple

I think I will move some above posts to the other thread sometime later.
Anyway, here are some inspirations for you:
Special Training for NATO/UN deployment forces
This is not fun for both instructors and pupils. Instructors must deal
with a thousand pupils a day, while the soldiers must learn this in
very short time.
Korean selfdefense Well, it looks nice but not as practical as above, because the condition is that you face each other off.
Of course it's excessive to have this writen or in movies, because it's too long or the fight ends too quick.
Edit: Btw. if you watch the close shooting in the first video, you see him firing in full-auto 3 shots.
I haven't come to a conclusion regarding laser rifle design but as soon as i'll have a real quality pic i'll need weapons for i'll post some variants so there's something to discuss.
