Re: The Covenant (Halo) vs The Grand Imperium of Man (Warhammer 40k)
There have been other innovations, but they're currently very experimental or there were significant design flaws that effectively made the technology non-viable.
Gyrojet ammunition was found not to have any significant benefits for its drawbacks, and caseless ammunition was pretty much the same.
I know some weapon systems are messing about with electrically triggered munitions (the Metal Storm system comes to mind), but in general I agree that there's not much more for chemically driven firearms to develop, which is a different issue to them being the currently most effective personal weapon available.
