Section 8: Handguns Subject: FN 5.7 Msg# 1062369

I honestly don't recall. Jerry Webb was assigned to the Columbus Intelligence Bureau and sent out a be aware report on this pistol at the time because they were concerned about it getting in the wrong hands with the right ammo so that may be the case. OTOH I'd read unverified reports that this ammo has never gotten outside military channels.  I doubt that is likely, eh?
Anyway, what pistol do you like, if any? |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: 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. That's true today. But when I posted that photo some 14 years ago the ammunition that could penetrate body armor was commercially available (for a little while, IIRC). Harvey |
