Don't fix what isn't broken

The only reason to move beyond regular guns and go with more futuristic weapons like laser or plasma pistols is if there's some sort of weakness to the old weapons that necessitate the upgrade. For example, some sort of shielding that normal bullets can't penetrate, but future guns can. You have to justify it in some way.

Otherwise normal guns will remain cheaper, simpler, easier to maintain, and kill just as easily as a laser pistol would.

Are you comparing a empire to a weapon firing mechanism?

Modern firearms have naturally improved as time went on but you're missing the point. That gun has lasted 100 years unchanged being completely effective, reliable and easy to produce. Modern shit has yet to prove itself nearly as effectively and are in a constant state of obsolescence.

Rome was working well when it kept invading land, since that gave huge boosts to economy and ensured work and workforce would always be at hand. The moment rome stopped conquering was when rome started to decay.

Still it's globally banned for causing "unnecessary damage"

You'd care more if you're the one usibg it, though.

I guess, but I can use a shovel to dig a whole. It's an old method, completely unchanged, reliable, effectively does the job, and is easy to use. I can also rent a small digger that does the same job, but much more effectively and with only a bit more effort because of it's more sophisticated method. Just because an older method is reliable doesn't mean newer, just as reliable methods should be overlooked, especially if they offer considerable improvement

They'll just put lasers on satellites and shoot you from above

Defense measures designed to work against energy weapons would be mostly ineffective against ballistic weaponry and vice-versa.

Energy weaponry favours energy-rich user while ballistics allow to cut on energy consumption considerably in exchange for ammo storage space.

Energy weaponry offers superior range and accuracy in the void of space while opposite is true for ballistix in atmosphere.

Both weaponry types will likely be used interchangeably depending on the situation by any sufficiently advanced civilisation.

>make armor from ground

Why not?

Laser guns would probably be easier to maintain, less moving parts and no chemicals makes it easier to clean.
As opposed to modern guns where you have to disassemble everything, bring out your toxic grease to oil everything, and clean the barrel. Now you'd just take out the little refocusing glass, give it a quick wipe down, and put it back it.
Periodically put in a new battery.

Very simple and clean, guns are actually very bad for the user's health just by using it, the gas and lead put off by the bullet itself is both bad for the user, and the cleaning supplies are typically toxic too.

We already have a very good idea of what is and isn't possible when it comes to the power/size requirements for an energy based weapon. There's no way a hand held firearm could ever put out the energy needed to make a real life particle weapon, they need to be big, as the physics involved just won't allow, say a rail gun, to be that small.

The gravity of planets also causes the Sun to wobble slightly, the same gravitational effect can be seen in other planet-supporting/binary stars and is part of the reason why we can detect said planets despite being light-years away from said star.

Based black science man

The sun orbits the center of the galaxy. The whole thing rotates. We're zipping through space at an obscene speed already. That's why the speed of light is neither constant nor the maximum.

The only innovations on the design have been adding safety features, which aren't relevant to the gun's killing power.

Fucking gravityfags, everytime one comes stuttering to me how humans can't fly I just laugh at their face and take off. How can they be so retarded

Gravity is actually the magic of this universe.

You know at the time, I thought that my high school astronomy class was a waste of time but still did my work.
Now I'm glad I payed attention.

Well the apple certainly doesn't fall far from the tree.

I prefer laser because it hits instantly which is really convenient, but plasma is definitely better in shorter ranged engagements, and against slow or large targets.

Rome didn't get fucked over by stopping the conquest, it got fucked over by combined overextension - directly caused by continued conquest - and internal friction caused by christians.
The combined weakening due to constant spread and cultural decay due to christianity lead to squabbles, lack of mutual support, lack of ability of government to exert power, inability to defend self from incoming barbarians.

Rome fucked itself by expanding for too long, not by stopping the expansion when it could no longer sustain it.

Reminder that the B-52 is getting an engine upgrade designed to stretch its life to the 2050s, meaning it will be the first centarian plane in service due to the fact it can fit any bomb in the US inventory into its massive bay.

That level of battery power, and the needed heat and cooling systems to laser someone enough to cause comparable tissue damage without melting the laser itself, is a massive jump over what we have now. Further, its going to be a massively increased cost, and almost certainly much more maintenance. Modern armies that are actually funded rarely have ammo problems. The only reason to change is a change in armor, and they'll probably develop super AP ammo before going lasguns.

Lazors are good for exploding fuel and ammo, they aren't supposed to cause direct damage like bullets, penetrators and HE shit is.

So why is this absent nowadays? Is our machining just accurate enough for round bases for hexagonal to not provide much benefit?

You're talking about humans as if they have 1 unified society. Protip: they don't.

Thats dishonest user.
Thats a frame for a Colt M1911
But at the same time: Guns shoots bullets
So a 1911 Colt M1911 uses 1911 .45 ACP

Even at a quick glance at Wikipedia you can tell that 500 joule of bullet isn't the same as 800 joule of bullet.
So thats still a frame to shot .45 ACP bullets, but that isn't the same bullets. The same is true of revolvers as well.
But what is interesting is that since guns are designed to withstand failure of bullet, that tends to be enough to allow it to use better bullets.

Are you implying that we're only 10 years away from developing "super-A.I." and/or near-infinite energy source? Because that's what "technological singularity" implies.

Lasers just put holes in things and maybe set it on fire if it can. Putting holes in things doesn't actually do much, you need impact energy or shrapnel. In WWII there were times that old biplanes were almost immune to AA fire because the rounds would simply pass through the plane and not detonate.

Only in the far future OP the near future will still have much use for bullets in the military and private sector unless someone invents a miracle powersource small and strong enough to power up a coil gun, a rail gun, a laser rifle etc.and it must be affordable enough to mass produce it like crazy or else will it not top the good 'ol chemical propellant based bullet.
I mean bullets are so good that the only way to make them work better is to shoot them even faster which can only be accomplished by shooting multiple bullets at the same time from different gun barrels as demonstrated in this video
