How will future ammunition be different?

Answer

Caseless? H&K has been experimenting with caseless ammo for years now. The idea is to used compressed powder behind the bullet. Or, ammunition will still use cases, however, instead of using powder as a propellant, an explosive gas will be used. Using a gas would decrease the load of a soldier, ammunition would be much lighter.

Answer

Electronic ignition, maybe. Remington was experimenting with that. They called it Etronix or something like that.

Answer

Caseless and smaller the AK-47 for instance along with many other guns had the 7.62 mm bullet and that was the western choice aswell no it has dropped to 5.56 mm so you can carry more and they don't go through walls and harm people inside this smaller bullet is givin a slight kick when it exits the muzzle so when it hits a body the smaller higher speed bullet deforms and uses up more energy causing more harm to the victim. The caseless ammo G11 assult rifle fires tiny 4.7mm bullets probably just to carry more in a clip.
