That's not the problem, several calibers still in use today like 7.62x54R, 9x19mm parabellum, .45 ACP, .30-06, .303 (last two are only in civilian use AFAIK) are over hundred years old. 70 years from now, most of today's modern calibers will be in general use, jsut upgraded for better powder formula.
Design and performance in game suggest a heavy GL, so 40mm or similar would be in order. After all, in grenades especially, greater volume is really important.
Sandro:
I do agree; solid (or liquid) chemical explosives are not going to be much more powerful in future, so if you want an explosive effect of modern 40mm grenade in 2084, you will have to stick with that caliber.

if they have better explosives then are the hand grenades also smaller and lighter in ufo:ai?

And fun fact, they aren't. UFO:AI grenades weigh 0.4 kg, same as M67 grenade, currently in general use in US military.

While discussing and working on the more difficult to fix items, the easier ones (explanation of HPHG, etc) could be fixed in the meanwhile...
