Post; Most Advanced Weapons


What do you all think is the most advanced gun out there at the moment? And the most advanced sniper rifle? Trying to do some research because I drool over all that hi-tech stuff but theres like a million different guns out there so google isn't doing much for me.

Why don't you list the ones you like and make a poll out of it? That's about the only way you will get a consensus.

Check out a video or two. They also designed a pistol based on the same principles.

Keep in mind that advanced doesn't always mean better.

I agree with sven, except for shotguns, machine guns and PDW.

Shotguns - AA-12
Machine Gun - MG4
PDW - P90 (this might just be my P-90 bias)

Pretty much anything from metalstorm. Anything they're running with electronic firing etc, because they have no moving parts at all.

Metal storm AICW (F88 Steyr and Grenade Launcher with electronic fire controls)


Metalstorm Redback Weapons System (40mm)


Another of Storm's 40mm weapons systems.
