Considering current human trajectory, I'm skeptical mankind will even still exist in 100 years
The biggest threat just on the horizon is the massive overpopulation that's growing unsustainably every year. When the western aid network supporting it collapses, there's going to be famine and resulting war on a biblical scale.
1. There is nothing about browns a continent away having genocide level famines that threatens humanity. Every single person in Africa, India, and china could vanish in a puff of smoke and it would be purely beneficial to humanity.
2. Overpopulation is a meme. Literally is not a problem unless you actively engineer it like a retard.
Chinese people.aren't having kids anymore. The government first relaxed the one child policy to two, then three, then just got rid of it all together in the hopes that people would have more kids. It's not working, people (especially women) don't want kids in the developed world.

Nature did a bad design on this, i cannot blame any woman who don't want to undergo this.
>Considering current human trajectory, I'm skeptical mankind will even still exist in 100 years
This moron does not realize that within a hundred years humans will be voluntarily assimilating themselves with the great machine.
>Considering current human trajectory, I'm skeptical mankind will even still exist in 100 years
based and objectively correct.
if there are humans in 100 years they will live in caves and eat bugs. either because of an unimaginable calamity like an asteroid strike or global nuclear war, or because we stay the current political trajectory and continue to reward undesirable behavior and mediocrity. idiocracy was a documentary, and warning.
the USA, and likely entire human race has seen their glory days and they are gone. never to return. time is running out.
You’re an idiot. AI is there to displace the meat bag workforce. The global elite want fewer people about 6.5 billion+ fewer mouths to feed. The rest will live in the pod, eat the bugs, and drink the cockroach milk.
NOOOOO. Population growth and declines can only be exponentional, never sine waves. Doomers on PrepHole reassure me either women stop giving birth completely and everybody will die out with zero kids like the Children of Men. Or fuck like hamsters and fill every inch of clay above sea level
How many decades of being wrong will it take for malthusian morons to stop their gayry. The immediate problem is literally the opposite of overpopulation which is demographic collapse. This malthusian meme have been, is and always will be wrong. Fucking retards.
>The immediate problem is literally the opposite of overpopulation which is demographic collapse.
Except in Sub Saharan Africa. Goddamn stupid morons. You think you're seeing an immigration problem now, you wait.
They will eventually reach stage 4 of demographic transition. If even SEAnigs and poojeets are already approaching below 2 births per women I don't imagine morons would somehow become the magical exception to this trend. If they do become an exception its just a matter of letting them die off. Not like they're that vital to industry and manufacturing.
No its not wrong, modern agriculture depends on cheap energy (is running out), heavy machinery (needs infrastructure and smart people) and phosphor (is running out).
Resource problem, not an overpopulation problem. Maybe if retarded bureaucrats would finally start investing in nuclear infrastructure, As for phosphate it is generally accepted we have 300 years of phosphate supply going by current usage. If we haven't found away to work that shit out by then we deserve to go extinct.
>The biggest threat just on the horizon is the massive overpopulation that's growing unsustainably every year.
If that's the biggest threat then I'm relieved. Human population is projected to level out at around 10 billion (still far below what the USA alone could feed) and it'll likely start declining after that and not stabilize until the cities have thinned out.
The first version of it was 1722, So that's 300 years and counting. The M2 browning is getting up near a century and shows no sign of getting replaced.
Assuming humanity doesn't wipe itself out or merge with the Singularity or something, I'm sure someone will still use it, even if its only a few antique collectors. But, like, actually fielded in a military? I doubt it. 500 years is a long ass time. It'll get phased out for other models.
I wonder when we'll reach the point where more ARs exist than AKs
This would have been unthinkable a few decades ago but I'm sure now millions of new ARs are cranked out every year while Kalashnikov manufacture is much lower, and the endless heaps of them from half a century ago actually are mostly rusting until uselessness or being fired until smoothbore
>"How many AKs were ever made?" >somewhere between 40 million and 150 million
How the fuck do you have a margin of error like that, imagine maybe hypothetically making and then misplacing 110,000,000 rifles
The AKM design was given to every country that wanted it and more and every one of them pumped out as many as they could, doubtful great records were maintained.
The reason AKs are so widespread isn't because they're easy to manufacture but because of wild Soviet surpluses and extremely lax Soviet arms trade restrictions. The AR-15, due to its ubiquity, effectiveness, modularity, and ease with which parts can be acquired, will be the AK-47 of the 21st century. And probably beyond too, though we might see a switch to MCX style rifles for some marginal benefits. For the time being no novel small arms tech threatens to dethrone the almighty bullet.

The Haloverse is kinda stupid, so hey, why not AK's 5 centuries later?
Drones are fucking gay so I'm glad even 343 wasn't stupid enough to add them. Drones weren't quite "normal" enough when bungie still had ahold of the series so it makes sense they didn't add them. As others have said on PrepHole before though there will always be grunts with rifles.
Halo is so fucking gay thanks to Halo 4 and shit like this, the real games are low-key ruined for me now. And I haven't even watched the show or played 5 or Infinite. As much as I wholeheartedly back the "343 isn't Canon" sentiment it's just less work and stress to just not even bother.
Hilarious that people assume technology will continue to improve at a rapid rate when low IQ people from the third world are replacing high IQ whites and asians. Europe will most likely balkanize within 100 years give or take due to whites becoming minorities in their own country. If the yugos couldn't get along despite being so similar in every way, it's inconcievable that Europe in the future will. It'll make the Yugo wars look like a joke in comparison.
there's fundamentally nothing wrong with the platform itself
500 years of improvements in metallurgy and milling/stamping I imagine would result in space chinesium AKs that are better than the best AKs today at a price cheap enough you won't feel bad using them as a sledgehammer
the more important thing is the the five centuries of improvements in propellants (combined with the metallurgy to withstand the propellants) that would probably result in some kind of horrifying 7.62x39 P+++++ composite penetrator ammo that costs ten cents a round and travels at 3km/s in-atmosphere with 800mm of penetration capability

Who will make my electronics?
Taiwan already does not China and they're bringing a lot of that capacity back to the states
That's the neat part

Pick one.
One-eyed, blind, king, etc.
I am. I'm breeding hole all over the place.
Anon you quoted
I don't disagree, I still want them to vanish into ether though.

I would do it right now if I could.
Based and adeptus mechanics pilled. I want my mechadendrites damn it! I will name them after the best girls of class 1-A
Yeah you're right except for the reason. We're going to nuke each other. Hell we're already close to doing that right now.

you talk like a fag and your shit's all retarded!
Why are doomposters so fucking stupid?
The coming increase in labour productivity caused by AI technology will make the global economy skyrocket.
You’re an idiot. AI is there to displace the meat bag workforce. The global elite want fewer people about 6.5 billion+ fewer mouths to feed. The rest will live in the pod, eat the bugs, and drink the cockroach milk.
Post your gun
>The biggest threat just on the horizon is the massive overpopulation that's growing unsustainably every year.
Everyone is hitting the peaks of their growth curves, even the pajeets and morons, it's all downhill from here.
NOOOOO. Population growth and declines can only be exponentional, never sine waves. Doomers on PrepHole reassure me either women stop giving birth completely and everybody will die out with zero kids like the Children of Men. Or fuck like hamsters and fill every inch of clay above sea level
I wonder why some people think that.
so true anon. and the solution is TND

Actually the biggest threat isn't overpopulation its sterility from microplastics and ptfe in everything.
>fearing ooverpopulation in the year of our lord 1963+60
boomers gotta boom but idgi
I'm still shooting a brown bess, so maybe.
That's 250 years tops
>That's 250 years tops
You mean
>that's 250 years SO FAR
The first version of it was 1722, So that's 300 years and counting. The M2 browning is getting up near a century and shows no sign of getting replaced.
Reminder that this thing couldnt even penetrate an elite's unshielded arm.
Russia will still be using it. Maybe North Korea. Everyone else will be using plasma rifles.
Assuming humanity doesn't wipe itself out or merge with the Singularity or something, I'm sure someone will still use it, even if its only a few antique collectors. But, like, actually fielded in a military? I doubt it. 500 years is a long ass time. It'll get phased out for other models.
AKs on Earth and ARs on Mars.
Also, Halo tech is completely nonsensical and bonkers to accommodate FPS tropes.

This. AR's will be the AKM's of the new age. Everyone will have one or know someone with one.

Nah, it has only made it this long because of contrarianism.
We have plateaued with modern conventional small arms. They will continue to be used for centuries just as the sword and spear were.
Chemical energy will forever be more efficient than battery power.
The reason AKs are so widespread isn't because they're easy to manufacture but because of wild Soviet surpluses and extremely lax Soviet arms trade restrictions. The AR-15, due to its ubiquity, effectiveness, modularity, and ease with which parts can be acquired, will be the AK-47 of the 21st century.

they're gonna still be used in a galaxy far far away
