How many?
More than a few.
Sooner or later, they’re gonna come up with the perfect cartridge that reaches out far enough, and has enough “UMPH” to the round, in a light weight, magazine fed, air cooled weapon, that’s easy enough for a high school dropout to effectively operate under stress.

It’s gonna happen!

(Then we get into the whole “how much is it gonna take to happen”. But that’s a whole different story!)
