How many decades or centuries do you think until we replace projectiles like bullets,missiles etc?
Guns still pretty much work the same way they did a few hundred years ago....only that they shoot much faster,further,accurate and deadlier.
What I am interested in is when will we completely have replaced them with some type of laser/energy/plasma weapons that range in size from a side-arm to a full battleships big guns that carry either an extreme amount of uses or even unlimited (powered by nuclear energy or something) that is safe and clean to use for humans so we don't give ourselves cancers by just being around these weapons for too long.
Do you think by the 2100+ that we'll have stopped using projectile based weapons for high powered plasma/laser type weapons ( I am talking a FULL fucking replacement...not just a new advanced laser-battleship, I am talking about a complete replacement from the smallest to the biggest weapons) ie When rockets/bullets will be phased out completely.
