Tech won't make guns obsolete, unless it's used to re-wire folks brain to the point they don't feel the requirement.

It is interesting to note what % their catalog of products are based around guns, and evolutions therof. It's like they're saying: You see everything we make? you don't want that. We're about to make it obsolete. I don't expect it to live up to their hype, their flagship shit - thunder - is essentially him copying terminator franchise HK series of drones wrapping it up the currently popular 'loyal wingman' package, bringing nothing new to the table just copying everything they've seen someone else do....

But for a tech most people have paid little attention to in the years since it's conception you have the likes of MgAl3 foams - A blend of magnesium and aluminium foam, of which I've seen ballistics tests wherin a 10mm thick plate ate a .45 and rendered it to powder. The more notable aspect is usually in these high speed footages you notice a ripple pass through the material away from the impact site. Not here.
Backed by a non-newtonian fluid to eat shockwave transfer it might form quite decent lightweight ballistics protection...

Fucking clown cannot even get the Altius right, the information security posture of his company is very bad according to burger Defense and suddenly he is building some disruptive super weapon?

Fuck you. Who's in charge of your marketing operations? The same idiots who run public relations for OpenAI and Anthropic?

And to think that this is the man in charge of protecting the U.S. from the Chinese.

>>109458760
My bet is some sort of electrical triggering system for the ammunition. Maybe the ammunition will have some sort of encryption system on it that prevents it from being fired without official authorization.

Knowing its Anduril, they're probably building some sort of smart gun like from Judge Dredd that can only be fired by authorized users in authorized environments and be turned into a metal brick by revoking firing privileges.

>>109458699
it is the 20s right now though!

That wouldn't make 50 years of firearm dev irrelevant, anyone normal would want ammo without DRM

Meat strom was already a thing and while cool, it wasn't very useful. The next real advancement is probably really high pressure. Like the retarded sig rifle only in a non retarded caliber and gun.
>>
>>109459494
>Meat strom
You meant "metal storm", right?

Oh it was useful alright, think o the arrayed pods they used for the 1,000,000 RPM test for point defence drone interception....

I think it was shelved because there isn't any way to stop an adversary from remotely detonating all your ammo before you intend, or the shielding required negates any advantages, potentially in a sequence that is most unfavourable to yourself....

Did they figure out how to make a feasable railgun or coilgun?

Frieza soldier shooter that uses your own bio energy as ammo? Only thing that I can think of that will replace guns.
>>
>>109458699
A practical gauss canon maybe.
>>
>>109459322
Electric triggers could be better but good luck drming it. It could be cool like plasma, gauss or high ex but realistically I'm looking at a different size calibur. I'm guessing it's smaller heavier ammo, even smaller than .38 or 22lr like 22 hornet but way deadlier.

>>109458699
Guns with some kind of AI slop, calling it.

Drones, to bad he isn't bullet proof. He is outdated tech. Just like the health care ceo
>>
>>109458699
You could do a bunch of cool shit with electrical triggers. One idea i had was that you could put multiple propellant charges into the bullet and detonate them (or not) as the projectile traveled down the barrel. What you're looking for in a gun is exhaust velocity, but having a single charge means you're limited by peak pressure in how much propellant you can have. With this system you could make a barrel made out of shitty steel perform like an artillery piece.
>>
>>109459276
Anduril's whole thing is that they realized that you can make military gear out of Aliexpress tech. Radios, cameras, drones etc.

Trouble is you don't need Anduril to do that for you, as any idea of theirs that actually works has been shat out by the tens of thousands by both Ukraine and Russia. You do need Aliexpress though, so good luck with defeating China like that.

Let me guess, the Gyrojet from back in the 1960s?

or a radio wave that changes the gun powder composition making it not explosive to start with

Borders, probably. Getting rid of guns doesn't really help when you let a bunch of child rapists into the country and then protect them from the local population whenever they stab one of the locals.
>>
>>109458699
So, it's going to be a portable laser or a coilgun right?
>>
>>109458699
this dude cannot even produce a clone n64 without issues, why the fuck would anyone believe what he has to say
>>
>>109458699
Caseless ammunition with high explosive as the propellent. Something very high velocity like c4. Very small and fast bullets. Chamber pressures stupid high, thus very thick overbuilt chambers and barrels.
He said we could have made it 100 years ago. There's my guess.

He is probably talking about the jewish space lasers. Are you a jew and you spot some antisemitism on your way to synagogue? Dial on your flip phone the space laser number, and keep your flip phones antenna aimed at your target. Your target will disintegrate in front of you instantly within the next 1 minute
>>
>>109459322
No, it's definitely going to be some kind of electrically propelled projectile. Lucky grew up making coil guns, if he's this excited about a "gun replacement" it's definitely a railgun or something.
>>
>>109459322
>My bet is some sort of electrical triggering system for the ammunition.
It'll be this. Caseless ammunition and electronic firing system. It's been done before but never taken off.

I can convert the state of matter using energy. It's not the sort of scales that could be considered portable and you'd really want to be no-where near the reaction. Like the next solar system over, nowhere near.

But lets pretend there's a magic wave that will render cordite, and presumably other explosives, chemically stable.

What's stopping your opponent using that? and in that inevitability, projectiles will be launched via other means - mechanical has it's limits and electricity appears to be materials that will handle the acceleration (which suggests finer control can give more firearm scale performance, and resulting barrel lifetime).

>>109461146
That effect might be a wavelength thing, I'm more impressed with freezing things with laser than burning mesself th- just dumping energy into until it gets hot is about as caveman as laser gets - but I'll put my money on the 'surviving' target being outside the burning laser's focal depth or the material's dye to reflect more than absorb. Blue beam on a blue cloth... Note how anything that lingers starts to burn...

Also. Lets see this pulled off at a significant distance and retain portability. Generally that sort of power supply is at least 'truck' scale...

>>109461240
That's not obseleting guns. It's guns. Also, it's been done and there was a reason it was shelved. Further, your premise fails to address the AR platform comments, which would most benefit from a caseless paradigm.

>>109461456
>it's definitely a railgun or something.
I'm to understand the limits are the power supply and the material science for something that'll take more than few shots before it needs complete dissasembly and parts swapped out...

>>109461532
>It's been done before but never taken off
Now ask: "Why".
