One of the main weapon in wide use is as old if not older, the M-2 50 cal machine gun. John Browning designed it well before WWII and I don't hear a lot of complaints about it. I bet the M-2 is used a lot more than issue handguns.
It's not a matter of "nothing wrong". It's a matter of is there something better? And there is.
So far as the M2 is concerned....there is nothing better yet.
