Selling point, very light meaningless differences either aesthetic or slightly lightened versions of the old. Exceptions do exist but are far and few in between, like the ubr gen 2 stock is noticeably lighter then the first.
I understand Gen is short for generation. That was NOT the meaning of my question.Gen = short for generation
Simple as that.
So, in other words, it is the same as the term mark 1 or mark II.

There are definately upgrades in many platforms, my take was more on the modern market as a general whole, manufactorers push slight differences or "upgrades" and slap on a "new" price tag. With the amount of aftermarket producers for popular platforms, theres not much a "new" generation can actually give you that you couldnt already modify the old to do (thats speaking more towards ar's)Depends, the differences between the 3rd and 4th Gen Glock was pretty significant. Just ask an S&W revolver collector about the difference in generation change such as deleting the PB & RC.
In the case of the UBR, the gen 2 with work with carbine RE including the A5 not just the rifle RE, that is a pretty big change on its own.

I grew up with the designation mark I, II and III. It just got me curious.
I'm also old and set in my ways so I don't appreciated being talked down to.
Worked for Apple and their Iphone
1911 is in fact > then 1911a1What about 1911 > 1911A1 or S&W Model 10 > 10-1>10-2 or M16 > M16A1 > M16A2 or Magpul M2 > M3, etc. etc? Bottom line there is no "set way" and never has been to call out new generations.
The design needed no improvements
