@NotMeNotYou: Not any kind of expert, but I personally doubt man-portable laser or electromagnetic weapons will make a difference in our lifetimes. I could see them being mounted on armored vehicles and ships though.

@Fenrick: Rail guns could be made extremely silent and with low recoil, though. So I would expect to see some specialized weapons crop up here and there. But definitely not as widespread as conventional guns.
