Hand held lasers anyone?
Care to guess on when they would be available and how soon afterwards the gov will disallow public ownership?

Hm. Polymers? Lasers? Red Dots? (Though I'd agree that lasers and red dot optics aren't technically "firearms" developments. The use of polymer really is, though.)

It seems unlikely to me that I would NOT be around for the next step, considering how technology is advancing, and the current fact that we haven't seen any significant advance in some time.

We may already be there. The laws on the importation of certain classes of lasers changed recently. There are several companies that have them for sale on line, and are no longer available to ship to the US. I dont know if the laws on the possession of these types of lasers has changed or not. Unfortunately I lost all of my lasers in a freak boating accident.

Every single poly gun on the market uses a firing system developed in the late 1890's..................so other than the materials, what exactly is the technological advancement??
I don't consider different materials to do the same job as any real advancement, besides, poly was first used in, the what 30"s?? ( I believe Bakalite is a type of polymer, I could be wrong about that however... )

Indeed!
Industrial lasers are already available. 600W Nd:YAG pulsed lasers powered by a 12V battery could be very effective.
