Yes, there will undoubtedly be new weapons, but there's nothing to say that they're going to A). be used by the military or B). be much different from the ones we use today. If you look back at weapons 50 years ago, they're pretty much the same as the ones we use now. 50 years is not long enough to advance technology significantly; if you want super-advanced military tech like plasma weapons, you'll be waiting at least a hundred years.
