Just a look at a proto-type weapon in development...

"The development of the KRISS platform exemplifies the TDI approach; a drive to create innovations that solve real-world operator problems coupled with a refusal to accept the current “state of the art” as an accurate description of the “state of the possible.”

The KRISS platform represents the first substantial innovation in automatic and semi-automatic weapon design in more than 80 years. Rejecting long-standing norms, the KRISS engineers have devised a patent-pending firing mechanism that provides a quantum leap forward in small caliber lethality by:

Reducing felt recoil and muzzle climb
Providing a high rate of automatic fire (700 - 1200 rpm)
Reducing weight by as much as 50% (vs. comparable platforms)
Reducing total part and moving part counts
Providing a robust and reliable platform
Extensively analyzed and tested by the US Army Picatinny Arsenal, the KRISS platform has proven itself to be a major step forward that can equip the war fighters of today with the ability to deliver a large quantity of high impact rounds with the accuracy that can only come from a low-recoil, light-weight weapon.

The KRISS technology today is demonstrated in .45ACP, but is adaptable to virtually any caliber and type of weapon."

I dunno, I think it looks pretty cool when you see the video of it firing ... but then I like weird-looking weapons ...

[GABBA]

Its just to big.

I reckon you cut the thing in half (vertically) and it might look better.

[Wolfmaster]

well, it's certainly ingenious....

I couldn't tell if that was a gun or something my girlfriend uses to curl her hair. Odd.

Yeah I had to read look it over a while to believe it..

[BrokenArrow]

looks like something out of starwars if you ask me.

[Tactical Advantage]

Thats one crazy looking weapon, but one thing that really stuck out to me, is that in the second video, the test fire seems very non-military, looks like a bunch of rednecks in my backyard, lol.

I see a major problem with that weapon that it's design can't overcome. There's nowhere to put any backup iron sights. Even though sights like EOTech have decent battery life and are more durable than past versions. They still have a potential for failure and should be backed up with another way to aim the weapon.
