Thread: What will the hunting rifles of the future look like ?

Laos, mid 1990's. Up close to the Golden triangle. I was doing some work with UXO's. Up there firearms are totally verboten...So obviously the only people with guns were the Police, Military and the gangs ...and most local villages had at least one or two home made firearms to shoot food with (mainly monkeys). The entire shotgun was made from local goods (water pipe, wood, wire, door latch, spring, kids cap gun caps) and the gunpowder was made from local sulpher, charcoal and home made Pot Nitrate (complicated process using dirt from under a pile of old dead animals). Shot was road gravel held in with newspaper. Watched them kill monkeys out to 35 ish metres.

In any 1st world nation with machine shops and 3d printers, anything is possible.
