Calling all new generation gun owners

I am getting bored of the usual guns for sale. I have an AR15, I love them, but I know there are new cutting edge designs. The issues with the AR/M16/M4 are the gas system which are sensitive to fine particles such as the Mesopotamian sand. The charging handle is on the rear which is rather uncomfortable. The industry seems to be blindly fixated on the M16 class, when I know many people who are hungry for something new. The AR boasts some great features, but they are all technically 40 years old, and lets face it, the flat top reciever is not new. There is a reason it was called MIL-STD 1913, since its design was created in 1913. The difference is much of firearms took 8 decades to implement it. I'm not a rich person, but I'd say if its under $2000, I could feasably foam at the mouth and ready myself to afford one. I would like to see the Magpul Masada offered semi-auto and at your local dealer. I would like to see the HK G36 in a semi-auto configuration and offered at your local dealer. I would like to see space age, but reasonably affordable designs competing for my dollar. For now, all I can do is dream and wait.
