I didn't think of those.

The laser turret is probably more plausible than a handheld laser rifle but still suffers from offering no penetration. If militarized laser technology is ever perfected, then laser turrets are a probability, but probably not by the 2050s.

The Goliath is a pretty ridiculous concept on a few levels and the weapons it's armed with aren't much good. The minigun fires at, what, 400rpm? And it's abysmally inaccurate too. The over-shoulder homing rockets are pretty nifty and could possibly happen in the future, but why you'd need an entire mech suit to support them is beyond me - if I recall correctly, that Tom Cruise action flick that came out a while back called The Edge of Tomorrow had a near-identical homing rocket system that was just attatched to Cruise's exosuit. Far more maneuverability that way.
