Do you think firearm technology has hit its peak?

You appear to be manifesting a bit of insecurity. That's OK, empty boasting is the hallmark of a bottom feeder.

 

And you think this is a kind of contest where you make points by abusing facts and insulting others. Disrespect as a debate tool is a telling weakness of character.
Strong people don't need to do that. They actually like seeing other people win, seeing them thinking right and becoming strong.
All one has to do is look in the right places, and people show the identity behind the facade they hold out to the rest of the world.
You can tell yourself that the facade is real- but no matter how long you do it, the person inside will never become the person you pretend to be. It just doesn't work like that.

 

Good advice. Suggest you take it!

 

One of my favorite film series is Alien. According to them, hot, fast moving pieces of metal are still the best way to kill when you're up close and personal.

 

Well apparently not. Every store bath room I vist seems to prefer the John Wayne variety...

 

It is not only the technology of weapons that marches on, but the technology required to manufacture them improves and becomes more available to the masses.

A couple of ideas for new weapons innovations: A binary slug - on impact, two chemicals mix and explode. Forget large caliber hollow points, a .22 binary from a pocket gun will blow a person in two. Or, how about a porous iron needle fired from a small magnetic rail-gun that carries a nerve toxin or a chemical that causes a severe electrical reaction on contact with fluids in the body causing temporary paralysis or instant death? You just can't say those are impossible.

 

Although there will be advances in the way humans kill each other it's interesting in that the basic concept has not changed from ancient times, to accelerate a projectile to hit a target. From throwing a rock to using a sling to throw a lead slug to gunpowder, the method to accelerate has changed and the speed increased but basically the same principle.

 

Surely you've seen this, but just in case you haven't...

Metal Storm. 1 million rounds a minute.

 

This happened right around 1920.

 

Mainly because of nukes is think... if we launch all of them at once, they are going to do a pretty big bang. They still won't wipe out all the population on earth, i guess it takes more than that.

When missiles will be so powerful that a few of them coul potentially erase mankind, then we might seriously considering to go back in time a little and fight our wars in a more traditional manner, if we have to fight.

 

There are flying cars, but people still drive cars from the 80's and older.

 

We may have hit a peak ballistically, but not technologically. Energy weapons proliferation awaits only better, more efficient energy storage solutions. Then we can progress to magnetically propelled projectiles and energy weapons.

 

Like I said your need to boast isn't a characteristic of a strong person. Glad you agree.

 

I realize you are struggling to find a way to evade coming to terms with reality. Boasting is pretense, pushing facts or fabricating fiction. Everything I may have said about myself- I can back 100%.
There is nothing manufactured, and nothing you can do or say will change that. I don't need anyone's approval, because I learned how to earn and keep my own respect a very long time ago. You should try it. Just simply ask yourself honestly, what kind of standard of conduct would earn your own genuine respect, and then live by it consistently. When you do, it become yours, and nobody can take it from you. Anyone can do it- and I admire those who do; they make the world a better place for all of us. Unfortunately, most people just won't.
Surprise us. Be one that does.

 

I'm surprised you respect yourself after being so condescending and preachy.

 

If you don't need anyones approval why do you seek it? And your definition of boasting is a bit off which I guess you found necessary given your previous boasting posting.

Propelled at .4C, a tiny ceramic pellet would be indistinguishable, to our senses, from lightning as it's passage ionized the atmosphere around it. It's impact would be explosive.

 

People that can't respect themselves are usually offended by those who can. Especially if we point out that they could too...

 

Still preachy

 

I bet you used that line in school too so you didn't have to learn anything. Hope that's working out well for ya.

 

You’re not a teacher

 

Sorry to disappoint you.
I never taught school kids. However, I did teach teachers, physicians, psychologists, executive managers and a number of professional people from fortune 500 companies; mainly training techniques in reading people and character, and developing mental disciplines. Some other things too, but nothing you would be interested in.

 

You’re trying too hard.

 

You're not trying enough, and it shows.

 

I suppose I should be more boastful like you. Nah...I'll stay humble. Much better quality ; )
