Future Military Guns of the World

Constant innovation in military technology can help maintain a distinct advantage for those applying the tech. Aircraft were first introduced to the battlefield in World War I and played a much larger role in World War II and to far greater effect as technology improved over the years. While this is true with aircraft, it is especially relevant with small arms. The constant reinvention of battle rifles, grenade launchers and the like acts as a force multiplier for infantry and expands their impact on the ever-evolving battlefield.
Militaries around the world budget for this innovation annually, testing new weapons, ordering contracts, and outfitting their troops for the field. From World War II to the Vietnam War, the standard issue rifle for the U.S. soldier evolved from the M1 Garand to the M16. This upgraded rifle came with a better effective range, sights, and a bigger standard magazine capacity. (These are the 26 guns in the U.S. Marines arsenal.)
Over the years, it has become standard practice for the U.S. military and others to offer troops upgraded tech and guns to create a more effective fighting force on the ground.
