[@vietmyke]Ahh, so it detaches into a handheld. I'm guessing you want that "bare barrels" look?

and yeah, round size slimming down is good when space is a premium, and space is always premium, so everyone's probably packing some amount of tungsten.

I was talking more about how FAWs probably mess with the value and viability of air superiority when sighting/lock-on ranges of ground forces triple and mobility skyrockets. Tanks will probably stick around since they can pack bigger guns, but they're probably going to be paired with or follow behind FAWs.

EDIT: realization: With longer sight ranges, longer weapon ranges and better computing technology, aircraft would be much easier to predict, and thus shoot. Air is no longer king because all front line armor is packing some measure of AA capability. doesn't matter if one FAW alone is particularly good with shooting aircraft, all of them can [i]and stand a good chance of landing a hit[/i].
