I think the next gen rifle should be something that is already familiar and built on a tried and proven platform that is just improved. Like just replace all the M4-M16s out there with piston drive AR-15s. I don't mind new technology, but most people would prefer something simple and utilitarian. Change for the sake of change is a bit stupid. The quest for improving our ability to put holes in bad people is a great and noble one, but those who put form over function or buy into untested tech for the sake of being first are dumbass gamers. The M16/M4 platform isn't perfect and shot just be improved on instead of entirely replaced.

Well, for better or worse, the AR is probably going to be around for a long time.

Just personal preference, if a gun that comes by that beats out the AR-15 designs completely, I'll take it, but until then, I'll just stick to a customized AR-15 and be happy about it.
