Will AR owners look like this in 40 years or will the AR platform be the best it gets?

Until laser gats it's pretty good

Look like what? The most based old man?
An old man that gooks still think is "op pls nerf"?

old grandpa has bigger arms than me wish I wasn't so comfortably lazy with being a stick

You either die a tactitard, or see yourself live long enough to become a fudd

My first gun was my Grandfather's M1 Carbine, which would not be that bad of a home defense gun.

Its wild to think that the garand design was essentially finalized in 1935 and the AR15 more or less in 1957, and that (with modifications) the AR is still considered one of the ideal combat rifles. It's design is only 20 years removed from the garand

I wish i had the balls to buy a carbine. Would probably be my fave rifle and home defense wep. Specially living in shitty NY

>he thinks the USA won’t have drowned in a brown flood of 3rd worlders who will vote for an AWB with confiscation by 2059

oh honey...

The AR platform is shit. The round it fires 5.56 is worse. If you are not on a joint NATO mission and you are using either one you are borderline der de der.

These.

Wut?

Is that hickok43

I mean the garand isn't really all that far off.
>Change to intermediate cartridge, shorten barrel
>Change trigger position for modern style stock
>Add magazine
>Reorient ejection port to better support optics and resist mud, since you're not toploading en bloc clips
Then you've got something pretty close to an AK. It's even less far off from being a serviceable marksman rifle.

Oh and full auto obviously. But of course that is not very far technically from semiauto.

>will the AR platform be the best it gets?
It was never good.

DI is a shit system. Any accurized piston gun is better by a wide margin. It's also got 6-12" of wasted space. Bullpup designs are going to start taking off now that the system has been perfected with downward/forward ejection, better triggers, and adjustable stocks. The above mentioned options already exist, so your grandpa gun is already obsolete.

Firearms development is obviously slowing down. ARs won't be totally antiquated but there will be new platforms with some marginal improvements in different areas. These will be more role-specific I think, a DMR platform (this is already being looked for), a sniper platform, a carbine platform (this second since the M4 sucks), and maybe a new assault rifle. Nothing so jack-of-all trades as the AR. I'm suspect it will be possible to squeeze a lot more accuracy out of roller delayed blowback rifles than we already do since there's nothing fucking with the barrel, so this is my guess for future sniper/DMR rifles. Like the PSG but better. Carbines will probably be some kind of bullpup thing using 5.56 since the round is fine if you can get it going a little faster on a longer barrel. Maybe 5-7 though depending on armor development.

Of course if the civilian market gets rekt by the grabbers, innovation will slow down a LOT.

Based and redpilled

Do it you bitch, I believe in you.

Bitch.

Checked but DI has its advantages. Lower weight, less off-axis center of mass shift, less spoiling of barrel harmonics. Piston can be accurized but it tends to be more complicated to do so. I also prefer piston though DESU.

i'm not optimistic that we'll even have guns in 40 years

>by 2059
try the 2020's or the early 2030's user

No. Current tech hasn't really developed much since the late late 40s/early 50s. Better milling technology gave way to intracately machined parts, but as far as the gun itself goes, the standard has remained the same since that era.

Hopefully rail gun tech will come to fruition and everyone will use ball bearings instead of bullets from now on.

>gun rights in 40 years

The Latin Americans and Asians wouldn't feel at home unless the US had gun laws as draconian as their own countries.

I took my cmp garand to my grandpa the other day.
He claims he was in during the M1 M14 transition.

He picked the rifle up. Lined up his sights and said. "Wow this is heavy, I didnt realize how much of a chore this was to shoot."
He then said "Id rather be shooting my .22 or my M&P15 instead.

Was kinda disappointed but it is his wisdom

This. Spics and gooks don’t give a flying fuck about basic human rights.

It's blood lust for school children has kept it young and fresh.

what 56 years old?

No it’s hickock45

Annon that’s what almost every old veteran says “wa it always this heavy? I sweater I used to swing this thing around like it was nothing in the war!” -old British man talking about the Thompson

Fun fact, at the rate of imagration America will be majority south american by 2045.

Isnt that basicly an m14?

You won't have any gun rights in 8 years bro.

The US will basically be another Brazil, nothing wrong with that

I like me some brown booty

The guy is ancient, at least he still likes to shoot

Oklahoma just passed constitutional carry. Tell me more about your crumbling rights, coasty.
