I have a strange taste in rifles so that can think of a few...
My dream would be a revolver carbine that can handle rifle cartridges (223, 308, etc) that has either double or single action, and has system to close the cylinder gap, similar to the Nagant revolver, but without the special case. The only problem is I can't fathom how you could make it strong enough to not blow out. But I like strange things.
A short barreled drilling for more modern cartridges would be nice for hunting too. Like a break open, 3 barreled 223.
The other concept I'd love would be an electronically primed muzzle (or breach) loader suitable for smokeless powder. Would eliminate the need for cases and primers, and could be suitable for target shooting if made well. Not to mention an infinitely adjustable trigger pull. Issue would be ensuring consistent powder loads and bullet seating depth, but I can't see that as insurmountable.
What wacky ideas do you folks have?

Caseless ammunition does exist, but it hasn't even crossed into military usage, it's a prototype idea that probably can't ever be made to work effectively, at least not before a more useful technology replaces it.

I guess it’s how look at it. I’m Queenslander too and have never felt not free.
