It's been a long time since any leaps have been made.
Muzzle loaders and such to cartridge weapons was pretty big.
Single action to double action was a good one too.
Revolvers and manually-operated actions to semi- and full-auto operatition was pretty nice.
Since then? Nothing much.
So, what's on the horizon? Railguns firing solid projectiles using electromagnets? Lasers? Phasers?
Has weapons development stagnated? Where do we go from here?
Please don't drag caliber discussions into it. I'm talking about weapons development theory.
