Fellas, The reality is that most of the available 5.7x28 ammo won't penetrate body armor (see YouTube videos) so this is less of a big deal that we first thought. The next thing that has occurred to me is that if one is enamored with a pistol like this--small, high velocity bullet in a high capacity blaster that looks very modern, the Kel-Tec .22 Magnum is a great poor man's alternative. And if the "modern looks" aspect isn't a must, Rock Island Armory's .22 TCM is ballistically the best performer of the the three--if we leave out the military-only ammo for the 5.7. And RIA pistols are not too expensive. More than the Kel-Tec if you can find a Kel-Tec not in the hands of a gouger, but far less than the FN product! Image below from Harvey Goldman - Image Title: photos Image Info: The FN 5.7 is a 20-rd DAO pistol firing the 5.57mm cartridge. The SS190 round is designed to penetrate body armor, although there are other types of ammunition available for this pistol, including JHPs. There is also a "Tactical" model of this pistol in single action for non-military use.  |
