Can we talk about 5.7x28?

I am interested in it because of its high capacity, accuracy, and the size, weight, handling and shooting characteristics of the Five-seveN and the PS90. But I have a couple of reservations: namely cost and lethality.

Please do not post about it being a .22 magnum. I already know this is false. But just how lethal is it? Searching around online leads me to two extremes: one that says "all the LEO/military guys say it takes a million rounds to kill someone with 5.7" and another that talks about the Ft. Hood shooting (anyone who was shot in the torso, even just once, died, the only survivors were those hit in the arms or legs) and hog hunting and how they took hogs with it in one shot or something. Does the truth lie somewhere in the middle?

Are our only real reservations about this cartridge cost and availability? If it were the same price as 9mm and just as available in stores, would the 5.7 see more use?

For concealed carry, I am happy paying a little more for ammo if it means I can hold 21 rounds on board in the same size as a 1911 with the weight of a Glock 26 and can split playing cards at 50 yards. But if those 21 rounds won't kill anyone... then I will choose something else.

Summoning the 5.7 tripfag as well. Also interested in people who own Five-seveNs and/or PS90s giving reviews on how they like them.
>>
If you're going to carry a 1911 size carry a 1911. Because you know, 45ACP can stop. If your worried about size and weight, get a 4 inch.

>>30638495
I own a five seven and its a pretty fun gun. Doesn't server any real purpose though, too big too carry, poor for self defense in tight quarters cause it over penetrates iirc (can someone confirm this?).

That said its a blast to shoot even just at paper. Its accurate, recoil is very mild if not barely existent. Makes things explode well. I've recently been using it as a varmint gun at my cabin and its superb at that as well.

The gun physically is solid. Despite being polymer it feels like it can hold up to hell and back and nothing feels cheap (although it feels weird putting plastics mags in). The mag release isn't very smooth IMO either (but I've always preferred paddle style). Haven't had a chance to disassemble mine but I hear they can kinda be a pain.
>>
I own a 5.7 MK2 and I like it, shoots great and honestly only plebs who live paycheck to paycheck complain about the price.

I have a concealable plate carrier and battle belt with custom magazine pouches and blade-tech OWB holster attached to belt which works great and doesn't bunch up like a tacticool setup would.

I wouldn't necessarily conceal carry it as I have other weapons I would rather do that with, but if I needed to strap on something quickly and have the ability to put rounds down range without worrying about emptying out, I would stick to this handgun until I could get to my actual battle rifle and plate carrier geared towards armed threats.
>>
>>30638495
I own both. The five seven is far to big to cc, but is really fun to shoot. My P90 is still in the box, owned it for 10 years and never shot it.
>>
Because it's a higher velocity round, it needs a longer barrel to generate proper velocity so it can have any force at all. It would still be less favored because it could not be easily cut down to an easily concealed carry barrel length while retaining enough of its current, albeit minimal, stopping power.

As far as lethality go, if we look at it as a tumbling, fast moving round it can do horrendous damage so it makes sense that once within a body cavity it could prove lethal. Extremities wouldn't suffer too terrible of damage because of rapid overpenetration or binding in denser muscle tissue as in legs.
>>
I've rented one a couple times at a range. it's got no recoil at all, but the safety is too goofy to ignore.

If your that concerned about capacity, Pearce makes +3 baseplates for Glock mags, for 20+1 in G17 mags

It's definitely a harder hitting round than .22 magnum, my only concern is range compared to the having an AR-15, and sighting it in because it's a bitch to do it. Or I'm retarded. Super pricey to feed as well, but I've seen some good deals online if you keep an eye out for them. Try not to buy single boxes from in store

Appreciate the input and reviews. I'm not worried about size for concealed carry. I can't carry a full size CZ 75 SP-01 or a Desert Eagle but short of that I can conceal just fine. I have tried several firearms larger than the Five-seveN and can conceal them effortlessly, so size is not much of a concern to me.

How is the safety? One of my concerns is being able to flick it off quickly under stress. Where with a thumb safety it's almost instinctual, the trigger-finger operation on a one-hand sort of "bad breath distance" draw would concern me as I might miss and my finger might slip. I appreciate >>30638777 but I don't like Glocks. Been carrying one for over 3 years now and I have hated it for at least 2.

Also that Blade-Tech setup sounds nice.

>>30638559
1911 is definitely on the table. I realize it's nearly a polar opposite firearm to the Five-seveN but I like both. 1911s however are tried and true and have been around over 100 years and have proven themselves capable as well as the ability to buy and replace more parts as needed. It's a classic, heirloom-type firearm. I like that about. It's also nice and slim and shootable. But out of reliability concerns I would go with the full size.

It costs as much as .45acp ammo.

>>30638799
I dunno, I thought I had it pretty well set in at 12 yards, but when I was out shooting bunnies it was hitting pretty low. Went back to the range and same deal. I'm using a Burris Fast fire 2 red dot
>>
>>30638826
but you're not supposed to reload it
>>
Noguns are comfortable firing it as a first gun, girls get wet shooting for the first time with it. Easy sight picture, minimal recoil, very accurate. I use mine to take girls out shooting mostly. Just another range toy.
>>
>>30638860
You need to sight it in at 25 yards, at least. Preferably more like 50 yards. Then, you'll be aiming high at closer targets, but you'll be spot-on at 50-100 yards.

Practice makes perfect, I feel comfortable with the safety being ambidextrous to unlock.

My initial instincts is to get cover, retrieve equipment, assess situation, carry on accordingly.
>>
>>30638863
Excuse me? You can reload 5.7x28 just fine.
>>
>>30638802
To answer your safety question I find its pretty easy to manipulate, plus it's ambi so you can use your trigger finger or your support hand or both to actuate it.
As far as the five seven goes I love mine, and I'm able to shoot realy well with it. If you plan on carrying it use ea ammo, but there are so many conflicting reports of its effectiveness. The main thing it does not have is penetration. But if your able to quickly put 3 or more rounds on target, that might be better than 3 less accurate shots
>>
>>30638895
Can the 5.7 do anything to a person at 100 yards? Also is the Burris Fast fire 2 good to go on the ps90 or do I need to try something that isn't for handguns?
>>
>>30638919
5.7 is g2g out to 100 yards. After that, it drops out of the sky like a potato. Don't know about that optic, but any optic you use on a rifle or handgun should work fine on it.
>>
>>30638943
Hot damn, I was scared that it was like only effective from 25 yards or closer. Thanks man

>no full auto p90 to role play as a secret service agent
What's the point?

>>30638964
Get a SBR Class III you pleb.

So is there much difference in performance when you SBR your ps90? Like loss of energy?
>>
>>30638978
Still not full auto.
>>
>>30638996
It's negligible IIRC. P90 was meant to be a SBR to begin with.
>>
>>30639018
That's what I was thinking, just wanted to be sure before I begin the process
>>
>>30638978
Not the same without full auto. Also I'm fine with the factory length barrel. Why get a bullpup just to SBR it?
>>
>>30638495
I want both of those so bad :(

When I move to real America I will have both
>>
So does anyone have a chest rig or gear set up for their ps90? Any advice or good deals to look at? I could keep the mags in my ass if I wanted to buthe I don't want to have to bleach my asshole
>>
Here's a real, no bullshit answer: the 5.7 was designed from the ground up to defeat armor in a compact fire arm. If you aren't using the AP ammo, you aren't getting the most out of it, and it is comparable to a 22 mag (you just don't respect the damage it can do). The guns are well made and reliable, the capacity it great, and the low recoil brings solid follow up shots. The serious arguments against the 5.7 are mostly that something else works better and/or is cheaper. A chest wound from a 5.7 has a good chance of killing, but why stop at one with any caliber. Bottom line, caliber matters less than fire arm, which matters less than the shooter.
>>
>>30638905
Case is lacquered.
>>
>>30638802
Instead of buying a shitty, low capacity meme gun or a shitty, high capacity meme gun, just buy a double stack 9mm like everyone else who isn't an idiot has done.
>>
>>30640979
5.7 x 28 is better than 9mm in that regard. Lots of ammo capacity, low recoil, good enough penetration to take down humans.
>>
>>30638802
Get a 1911 in .22TCM. problem solved
>>
>>30640988
Questionable lethality, expense, much more difficult to acquire ammo for, and a Five-seven costs almost as much as two Glocks.

Everyone who actually shoots has gravitated towards 9mm for a reason. It's the best balance between capacity, lethality, controllability, and cost.

1911s and Five Sevens are range toys who get carried by nostalgia fags and people who think video games are real life.
>>
>>30641012
Stop talking out of your ass.
>>
>>30641012
Don't fucking compare 1911s and Five Sevens. 1911s are old, low ammo capacity, and have an outdated round. The Five Seven is new and has a high ammo capacity in a modernized round. It's just about the opposite of a 1911. The only reason to object is the cost and the size.

Yes.

>But just how lethal is it?
Very. But it depends on the chosen projectile what kind of performance you get.

>"all the LEO/military guys say it takes a million rounds to kill someone with 5.7"
Not true. Fort Hood disproved that.

>Ft. Hood shooting
As you said, only people who got shot in the extremities lived. Those who were hit in the torso suffered massive damage or death. One guy was hit in the head and managed to survive, though. Quite a miracle. According to reports, he was partially paralyzed for a time before recovering fully.

The Fort Hoot shooter use SS197, the 40gr V-Max blue tip, which is known to be one of the worst 5.7 loads you can get.

>If it were the same price as 9mm and just as available in stores, would the 5.7 see more use?
That is only a part of the issue. Issue two is that there are only two real guns made for it. Issue three is FUD being spread about it being .22wmr.

>Summoning the 5.7 tripfag as well.
You got me.

I will post info on various 5.7 loads below.
>>
Mac had a video comparing the 5.7 to .22 wmr. You can see there's a decent difference between the two rounds. Maybe if some of you fags got off your asses and went outside for once and actually shot both rounds for yourself you'd see the difference. Shoot rabbits or something with each round.

For self defense carry, you are ideally going to want Elite Ammunition's S4M or T6B cartridges. If you can't get these, SS198 will suffice.

First, lets talk about the 27/28gr projectile that is used in SS192/SS195/SS198/S4M
It is a 28gr or 27gr aluminum core JHP that closely resembles the 77gr SMK bullet, but has an aluminum core. The weight is reported as 27gr by some people, 28gr by others, don't know why, but whatever. This bullet travels at 2000-2600FPS out of the Five-seveN, depending on what cartridge you are using. Elite's S4M is ideal, you'll get 2400-2600 FPS. This bullet is designed to tumble, creating a massive wound cavity. Penetration in gel is 7-10 inches typically. Tests against wild boars have proven it to be a devastating one shot killer. The S4M is loaded fast enough to penetrate Level IIIa armor. The SS198 will penetrate Level II. SS195 is a hair slower than SS198, and SS192 is a discontinued variant of SS195 with a normal leaded primer.

Next is Elite's T6B. This is a "pre fragmented" 32gr bullet made of copper. It comes out around 2100-2400 FPS, and penetrates IIIa Kevlar. This round is DEVASTATING and is my chosen carry load : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbMlxdp1cSw
The round will sometimes fragment if it hits bone, creating additional wound vectors.

Next is Elite's ProtecTOR load. The ProtecTOR I, the original, is the 40gr V-Max or other brand's identical bullet loaded to a higher velocity than the SS197, around 1980-2080 FPS. Pretty good, defeats Level II armor. Not as good as the two above.

After that is SS198. Same as S4M, but slower. Defeats Level II. Get this if you can't find Elite ammo. Has a painted on green tip. You can find it online.

Next is SS195. Don't bother with this unless you can't get SS198. Its just SS198 but slower.

Now SS197. Blue tip Hornady V-Max. Works OK. Great for the range. Good for small game hunting. Will kill two legged animals as well, but not as effective as above loads.

”The 5.7 pistol as a carry gun is a mistake. There are far more effective weapons and ammunition combinations out there. The only factor that comes close to equalizing the P90 (not the 5.7 pistol) is it's full auto capability: 900 rpm of very controllable fire. Even this advantage is limited to close-in, CQB type engagements. I can put more rounds on target faster with the P90 than with my M4 in close contact engagements. Unfortunately you may HAVE to put more rounds in the threat due to the lack of damage the projectile causes. The 5.56 is far more effective at getting the attention of men than 5.7 mm. This is not speculation. We have been using 30 P90's for five years now. There have been multiple BG's shot with them. We will not be buying more 5.7 mm or other small caliber PDW systems”

- 30 P90's for five years
- 100,000 rounds per year through those weapons
- very reliable weapon
- very user friendly
- very easy to shoot
- everyone happy
- three OIS's later and some unbelievably poor terminal balistic performace we dropped them...quickly.
- 22+ OIS shootings using AR-15's with .223...everyone happy (except the 21 dead bad guys)."

Next is American Eagle 40gr TMJ. This is just a 40gr FMJ. Behaves like one. Defeats Level II Kevlar. This is range ammo.

Elite has had some other loads in the past, and has other ProtecTOR loads as well. The VarminTOR was a 36gr Varmint Grenade, penetrated IIIa Kevlar, and was pretty impressive in gel. Here is a more extensive list straight from the source : http://www.eliteammunition.com/test.html

Tag price for mine was 1350, came out to around 1500 after taxes and background check. I like mine alot, it's just a pain to find any sort of gear for it and ammo is pretty pricey. Gonna go to the gear thread and see if anyone has a set up I can try to get together

The Lima, Peru siege (known as Chavin de Huantar, see here for some more info on the operation itself) occurred in 1997 when a number of terrorists took over the Japanese embassy in Peru. The Peruvian CTs were carrying suppressed P90s. In the siege, two terrorists were killed with one 5.7 round each, and a third with two rounds. All of these subjects were wearing Level IIIA vests.

Doraville, Georgia PD had a shooting with the SS190 (most likely from the Five-seveN pistol, although Doraville does use the P90), resulting in a fatality from a neck shot. The subject's spine was severed but the round did not exit his neck. Another shooting, with Duluth, Georgia PD resulted in the subject being struck in the head with an SS190 out of a Five-seveN.

Sioux Falls, South Dakota SWAT shot a subject "in the hand and arm through a solid core door". He lost two fingers off his gun hand and the bone in his arm was shattered. After passing through the door, the round began to go into tumble and struck his arm flat, powdering the bone within. AFAIK this was the first shooting with 5.7x28 where the victim survived.

Bellevue, NE SWAT killed a pit bull in 2003 during a drug raid; it was shot with two rounds of SS190 out of a Five-seveN pistol.
>>
I guess I'd like it more if development for the round and the guns that shoot it hadn't so blatantly stagnated. I enjoyed my PS90 for the year or so that I owned it, but the aftermarket is really REALLY disconcerting with how limited and horrifically overpriced everything is. Everything about the 5.7 scene is niche and, seemingly, operates under questionable pretenses. Also the fanboys are their own special breed of cult-mentality.

Yes.

All rounds are legal to civilians, including the steel tipped SS190, unless local laws prohibit it. All other rounds are 100% legal in all states, except maybe CA or NY, who may have banned things by name. Who knows.

You can buy SS190 on Gun Broker today.
You can buy Elite Ammunition today from their website, forums, or Gun Broker.
You can buy SS198 from online gun stores.
You can buy SS195, SS197, American Eagle in most gun stores locally.

List? No. You are just as likely to end up on a list buying this as you are 9mm FMJ.

Below is copypasta written by me. I do believe 5.7x28 is the best caliber for a service pistol or super short rifle, like the P90. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for 3 inch barrels, due to the huge fireball and loss in velocity that results.

-----

(All data quoted from Five-seveN pistol. Subgun and carbine barrels will dramatically increase performance even further)
Fact : 5.7x28 matches or exceeds 9mm +P energy.
Good 5.7x28 defensive ammo greatly exceeds the wounding of 9mm FMJ, and comes on par with many 9mm hollow points.

Top tier 5.7x28 ammo exceeds the wounding of good 9mm hollow points shot per shot, and may fragment into two or three pieces when hitting bone. These same bullets offer great first-barrier penetration, ex: car door, building door, without risk of penetrating a second hard barrier. This same ammo offers total penetration of any soft kevlar vest available today. This ammo is 100% legal, and available to ALL civilians.
5.7x28 offers 60~% the felt recoil of an average full size 9mm handgun, while also offering a slightly higher capacity and offering a narrower, more ergonomic grip.
5.7x28 has a flatter trajectory and greater range than 9mm.

Some of these points do not matter to all of you. Once again - Just because 5.7 does something that you don't feel you need, that doesn't mean it is a specialty round. It is a do it all round. It offers superb wounding. Light recoil. Top tier capacity. Kevlar penetration. First barrier penetration. Longer range. Versatility to fill any role.

5.7x28 is not the "end all" to handgun calibers. Availability of quality defensive ammo is poor relative to standard handgun calibers, but it you get in line and wait your turn for 4-8 weeks, you can have your god-tier defensive ammo.
5.7x28 does not make mushroom cloud atomic wound channels like high-power 10mm. 10mm is still the top dog in auto loading wounding shot-per-shot.

What 5.7 offers is the ability to do it all in an acceptable manner.
>>
>>30643144
Kinda leaning towards SBRing it. I'm gonna have to do a bit more reading on the process of doing it, the ATF forms and the actual process of shortening the barrel.
>>
Weight compared to a loaded glock 19 is negligible. Good quality defensive 9mm loads will get you through just fine. If you're worried about capacity get G17 mags with +2 extenders so you're just 1 off from the Five-seveN.

As far as the PS90 goes its no lighter than a standard AR and there are plenty good quality ones that are even lighter.

That being said they're super fun, light recoiling, etc and make for a great range gun.

The real issue is, does it go pow every time you pull the trigger, and when it does go pow, does the piece of metal coming out the business end go generally where you wanted it to go.

It's not a shitty round, but do keep in mind Marisa is a notorious fanboy for 5.7 and you will be getting a very stilted and biased take on it. There are plenty of experienced people who have negative views regarding 5.7, and there are plenty who have positive views. Read both, form your own opinion, don't rely entirely on the words of an autist who has made the round and the guns that fire it into an integral component of a shitposting e-persona.

"What is it like to fire an AR-15? It’s horrifying, menacing and very very loud.

It felt to me like a bazooka — and sounded like a cannon.

But mostly, I was just terrified.

Squeeze lightly on the trigger and the resulting explosion of firepower is humbling and deafening (even with ear protection).

The recoil bruised my shoulder, which can happen if you don't know what you're doing. The brass shell casings disoriented me as they flew past my face. The smell of sulfur and destruction made me sick. The explosions — loud like a bomb — gave me a temporary form of PTSD. For at least an hour after firing the gun just a few times, I was anxious and irritable."

I thought you died a decade ago. Jesus fuck.


OP, I have a PS90. Form 1'd it, and the barrel is currently sitting below my desk at work until I remember to write a check for the guy who is going to cut it down and recrown, and thread it. So I can toss my SilencerCo Spectre II on it.

I enjoy shooting it, it's fun as hell. Accurate as fuck. Cool as fuck. Tossed an N7 sticker on it so I can feel like Commander Sheppard, or I can take it off and feel like Colonel O'Neall (Two L's dammit!). Why? Because fuck Marisa, fuck high-speed low-drag idiots. It's fun as hell. I do what I want.

If you want a 5.7, do it. I would not recommend carrying it.

I'm hitting great groups at 100 yards out of the FN SS195 rounds. I got it for two legged varmints, but really that's my excuse.

Use your noodle faggot, it's the height over bore.

If you have it sighted in at 25 yards, shots you take at 15 yards are going to hit low. Shots at 50 are going to hit high. At some distance the bullet drop will cause the zero to match up again but I don't know what that would be.

Sweet. I never watched Stargate and never really was attracted to the gun. I mean it wasnt even in the top 20 on list of guns I need to have.

The P90 is an incredible execution of firearms design but is not without its problems; I'd love to see an updated version addressing a couple issues:

- Unless you flip the gun upside down, there's no good way to check and make sure you have a round in the chamber. The other alternative is to remove the magazine to check, but that's no good either. You kind of just have to trust that you've chambered a round. I usually hate LCIs, but one might be useful on this gun

- There is a ton of dead weight in the receiver which is totally unnecessary, it's a huge chunk of cast steel which could definitely be made lighter, if not entirely out of aluminum, which I'm pretty sure would be fine with this design.

- No last round bolt hold open which means you pull the trigger and get a click before you know it's empty, like an AK. Makes reloads a little bit longer. At the risk of complicating an elegantly simple design, I think the P90 would be well suited to a BHO with an automatic bolt release upon insertion of a new magazine.

- Straight blowback design means the bolt is very heavy and the gun is only really meant to be fired certain cartridges and will damage itself shooting hotter loads without stronger springs. You could shave a lot of weight and make the gun more adaptable to a wider range of loads by incorporating a gas operated design, again at the risk of complicating an otherwise simple gun. This would also make the gun run a lot cleaner.

If anybody could incorporate these well it would be FN.
>>
>>30643496
I agree that these are flaws, but if FN came out with a statement tomorrow saying they'd never ever consider updating the p90 I wouldn't be upset. I'll just deal with what I bought

Shot those, not as much fun as my PS90 to be honest. I'm not a small person, 6 foot tall and am pretty fit. The PS90 I've seen fit everyone from a 6'5" EMS worker, to a 5'1" accountant. Fuck HK's shitty guns though. I'm happy that the MPX is knocking the MP5 out of everyone's hands.
>>
>>30643538
Same, I'd just be interested to see what a modernized version of the P90 would look like from FN. People tend not to think about it because it still seems like such a modern gun, but the design has a couple decades on it now.

OP here. You posted a ton of info, thanks a lot. I saved it for later reference.

This thread really blew up overnight, I appreciate all the honest replies.

I love full size 1911s and HK USPs as well. Those are the other two options on the table at this point. The USP feels amazing in hand (yes I even prefer it to the P30) and is just amazing except for the fact that I couldn't use a pistol light on it one-handed due to the gigantic trigger guard. The 1911 is also amazing to hold and shoot and I love the thumb safety and how slim and shootable it is, but it's low capacity and the parts need to be fitted and I am worried about rust. The Five-seveN is great but my only concerns are its special snowflake status (less aftermarket support, less accessories like holsters and such), my ability to flick off the safety with one hand in a "bad breath distance"/contact encounter when my other hand is busy, and my concern about its lethality. It seems to be about like a 9mm, if not more, based on the various shooting accounts and Marisa's info. So that calms me down a little bit.

A question though. Do you do one-handed draws where your off hand is busy, say holding an attacker back? I am concerned about my ability to pull up my shirt, draw, and flick the safety off with my trigger finger with any amount of confidence or repeatability. >>30638917 spoke about it a little bit but I'd be interested in more input.

Also one more: how does the Five-seveN hold up over time? Does it last for a long time? Can I shoot thousands of rounds through it for a long time? I am concerned about being able to get spare parts for it. One of the things I love so much about HKs and 1911s is that if something breaks, just go to hkparts or midwayusa or someplace and grab a new one, done. Doesn't seem to be so easy with the Five-seveN.
>>
>>30643265
Hey maybe you can help me answer this. I've got a 10 round ps90 magazine because new Jersey likes mocking its subjects and the things a pain in the dick to load because only one of my hands has fine motor function.

The magazine is an ar-57 mag so I think the problem is the rollers but do you have any advice on modifications to make the magazine easier to load?

>Does the truth lie somewhere in the middle?
If the truth about the 5.7x28 lies anywhere in the middle, then it should automatically be one of the best pistol rounds out there right now.

High velocity, flat trajectory, slim rounds for higher capacity, light recoil. Assuming shot placement is the control factor, does this not make the 5.7 the overall better choice over the 9x19 in the same ways the 9x19 is favored over the .45? Or does it just cross the threshold into minor-power territory to make it an almost-non-round like .380?

Flipping the safety off quickly becomes part of your drawing motion. When you draw, your finger naturally rests where the safety is, and you simply swipe it down as you insert your finger into the trigger guard. Learn to use a decent amount of pressure to ensure that it slides down and you don't miss it, but really, its very simple to learn and repeat.

The Five-seveN holds up very well over time. The only issue I've heard of is that on some earlier models the polymer magazine release would wear internally, causing the magazine to sit a bit lower than intended inside the magwell. As far as I know, this issue is long resolved, and I have never had it myself. FN sent out replacement parts to anyone who claimed to be affected by the issue, or offered to repair their gun as well.

Watch gel tests on youtube of the 5.7 defensive loads, you'll form your own opinion on the terminal ballistics. Most of the good rounds are quite impresive, IMO.

>>30643697
Well, yeah exactly, hence this thread and why I posited that perhaps the only reason the 5.7x28 isn't more popular is because only one pistol uses it and because it's more expensive and less available than 9mm and sometimes even .45.

>>30643705
You should really get into sales. You are convincing as fuck right now. In all seriousness though thank you again for all the info. The next step is to go and hold or better yet shoot one. If I can find one around here.

Absolutely. 5.7 is to 9mm as 9mm is to .45.

The wounding mechanics of 5.7 are a bit different though, depending on the chosen projectile. On one hand, you have soft points and V-Maxes that try to expand like 9mm JHPs do. On the flip side, you have long bullets that wound by tumbling, like many rifle rounds.

I feel like the long, light, tumbling bullets give you the best results.
>>
>>30643733
Yeah that's what I'm learning but I don't think fn makes 10 rounders. If they weren't translucent I might be tempted to get a 50 and just load 10 rounds into it but that's not worth the 3-5 years in the pen for some range time

The PS90, as it comes stock, leaves a lot to he desired.
The only current production run has an obnoxiously high and huge rail and a hefty trigger pull. You can fix both of these with aftermarket, but for a 1k+ gun you shouldn't have to.

I'd say the end product is worth it though.
>>
>>30643747
Only one pistol uses it because HK were total cocks and blocked NATO from adopting the 5.7 because they wanted to use their own 4.6x30mm for MP7. And it turned out that 4.6 was plain inferior overall in the end too.
>>
>>30643819
HK sucks cocks.

In a world of compromises, some people put the bullets in the magazine backwards but it doesn't matter, because our gun is on the cover of the Rainbow Six video games. Look how cool that SEAL coming out of the water looksEIf you buy a $2,000 SOCOM, you will be that cool of an operator too. And chicks will dig you. At HK, we stuck a piston on an AR15, just like a bunch of other companies have done, dating back to about 1969. However ours is better, because we refuse to sell it to civilians. Because you suck, and we hate you. Our XM8 is the greatest rifle ever developed. It may melt, and it doesn't fit any accessories known to man, but that is your fault. If you were a real operator, you would love it. Once again, look at Rainbow Six, that G36 sure is cool isn' it? Yeah, you know you want one.And by the way, check out our new HK45. We decided that humans don' need to release the magazine with their thumbs. If you were a really manly teutonic operator, you would be able to reach the controls. Plus we're fired 100,000,000 rounds through one with zero malfunctions, and that was while it was buried in a lake of molten lava, on the moon. If you don' believe us, it is because you aren' a real operator. By the way, our cheap, mass-produced, stamped sheet metal guns like the G3 and MP5 are the bestest things ever, and totally worth asinine scalpers prices, but note that cheap, mass-produced, stamped sheet metal guns from other countries are commie garbage. Not that it matters, because you're civilians, so we won' sell them to you anyway. Because you suck, and we hate you, but we know you'll be back. We can beat you down like a trailer park wife, but you'll come back, you always do. Buy our stuff.

Sincerely,
HK Marketing Department
HK.
Because you suck. And we hate you.

Thankfully, you don't need to spend tens of thousands to get high quality, serviceable, practical guns. I have no interest in acquiring race guns so expensive that I am afraid to take them out of their soft case inside the safe. I'd rather have 5 $400 pistols than one $5000 1911.

Nice strawman, but you also cannot post a collection that mostly consists of $~500 heaps of blandness and mediocrity and claim to not be a poorfag. You don't have to spend five figures to get practical, quality guns, but you're deluded if you think a $500 rifle can't be outdone in those respects by a $2000 rifle.

Mine is as follows.

If unarmed, do I have time to get gun? If not melee charge/surrender until melee charge. If time I'll go to grab my close gun.

From get gun, can I see target? Shoot target, until they stop moving or I die. If I cannot see target, head towards bigger gun or pie target.

It's important to note, once I pie corner or if I have eyes on my target I fully plan on being shot if it's necessary to accurately land upper torso/head rounds until target threat is no longer moving.

I under no circumstances plan on re-peaking any corner.

My friend has a FiveSeveN and I love shooting it. They stock 5.7 at my LGS for a reasonable price, so it's easy for him to feed it.

Frankly, the only thing that stops me from picking one up is the price. If they dropped it to the 800-900 range I might consider picking one up.

The real problem is that for the asking price of a new FiveSeveN, there are simply better options out there. I'd rather buy a USP over a FiveSeven.

Shit a jackrabbit with my buddies ps90, I shot one in the head and it took the top clean off. I saw one he shot through the torso, it passed through to the other side and fragmented just under the skin. The skin was blown out about 4 inches around the exit wound, the flesh underneath was extremely bloody. This tells me that it fragments pretty well at close range after passing through about 3 to 6 inches of tissue.

That's nice, no one is telling you to do otherwise, but it's time to stop living in fantasy land and thinking that you have anything close to resembling an impressive collection. If you were smart, you would keep at least half of what you have in that picture out of frame so people could more easily see the handful of worthwhile guns you have. Nor does that do anything to disprove my calling out your false dichotomy.

What the fuck, the OP asked about the viability of the 5.7x28mm round. Stop fucking shitting the thread about the finances of a tripfag or any anon.

I'm not Marisa, pic related, that tripfag does not own this image as its an og one I just took.

My own personal opinion of the Five-seveN handgun that I've owned for almost a year now, and the rounds I've shot before. I like the low recoil, the flat trajectory, light weight with a full 20-rd magazine in the handgun, great grips, you just need practice with the control levers to get used to it takes like 30 minutes to get used to it imo, and the rounds can penetrate soft armor if your state allows it.

I've shot over one thousand round with SS197 and AE FMJ stuff at the range and they seem to be fine for my use case. I do own EA T6B but have yet to shoot one since I do not have many of them.

I've shot other handguns such as: Glocks 9mm, some 22lr pistol, 1911 .45, and a SW SDVE 9mm, and I still prefer my Five-seveN but most likely due to ownership bias. The 1911 did feel great though no recoil what so ever due to its weight and heft, I want to own one someday. I plan on owning a 9mm soon just so I can own a 9mm handgun, so I'm not bias to against owning other calibers.

OP just read what you can and form your own opinion, and if possible rent it at a range. Ignore the stupid ass trolls regarding being a poorfag, fucking retards.

It's not the trigger that needs replaced rather than the trigger springs, but you can drop in an aluminum trigger that slides a little smoother. I can't remember who makes the springs but I'm sure they'll pop up on Google. Mine has a crisp 4lb trigger now.

thats a nice collection, honestly wasnt expecting that level of diversity from how hard you vouch for 5.7 round. you obviously really like the 5.7 if its your go to round out of that collection.

im curious what you think about the super light and fast rounds available for 9mm though? there are 40-50 grain lightning 9mm rounds, like the RIP or liberty defense. they come out at around 2000 FPS, so should offer similar low recoil and terminal effects as a 5.7...but probably not the barrier penetration since the diameter is so much larger
>>
>>30645790
Some of those ultra light 9mm round actually defeat Kevlar, but they don't do much of anything on the other side, since they turn to dust inside the vest. For 9mm, stick to 124 or 147gr HST, or the 150gr short barrel formula if you have a tiny 9mm.

Velocity is what defeats vests.

M855 is illegal according to that law, as 5.56 can be used in handguns and has a mild steel core intended to penetrate helmets at range.
>>
>>30645895
i think legally you are right, it could certainly be a charge lib prosecutors would argue in court, but i think you could win in the end. since the 5.56 was created for a rifle, and AR "pistols" didnt come out until much later. whereas the 5.7 pistol and submachine gun were invented around the same time for the round

No, retard. Class 3 is a dealer designation.
>>
>>30645895
also though, the ATF does not classify as M855 as armor piercing, so that would be in your favor as defense. (although ATF tried to unilaterally do this last year if you guys remember)

I have a Ps90 and go invited to a friends property in Indiana (live in Missouri myself), but I'll have to go through Illinois with it. Is it illegal to travel through Illinois with 50 round magazines?

No, although they may try to enforce criminal laws which you're limited to violence to support Constitution law or hope they just don't fuck you...

Answer me this /k/
If shot placement is King and capacity Queen
Why isn't a low recoil handgun with sufficient penetration like the fiveseven a solid self defense choice?

To elaborate before I get a sea of >implyings
Why isn't the fiveseven a good option for a competent marksman who could easily place 3 or 4 rounds center of mass in an assailant?

actually interested in picking up one of these meme guns for the range. What are some of its pros and cons?
>>
>>30647411
It is the ultimate option. However, by that same logic, the PMR-30 is even better. However, the terminal ballistics of .22WMR out of a pistol barrel are woefully inadequate. JHPs act like FMJs in this case. So, the Five-seveN has a bit more recoil and a bit less capacity than the PMR-30, but has massively increased wounding potential. The Five-seveN is the ultimate balance. 9mmJHP+P wounds with armor defeating ability, nearly no recoil, and 20 round capacity.

Maybe its because I'm actually poor, but I can't imagine spending more than $2000 on a gun even if I had that kinda money to toss around. Does it really make that much of a difference, or is just a status symbol?

Best part is it's half way between the tokarev and the five seven in price ($500-700) and it comes with an extra 9mm barrel if you can't find the ammo ( Cabela's for $20-25 a box)

>Mac had a video comparing the 5.7 to .22 wmr. You can see there's a decent difference between the two rounds.

Shot from handguns, 22mag did better in bare gel vs commercial FN ammo.

You're right, there was a difference.

You mean Title 2, homie? So called "NFA items" are actually Title 2 items. The only CLASSES are in reference to FFL licenses.

Miniature rifle cartridge that really does require adequate barrel length to perform.

It really shines during fully automatic fire with its minimal recoil but this is something most people will never be able to utilize.
>>
>>30649771
and the term FFL CLASS LICENCE isn't really correct either.

If you are going to correct someone, get it right

they are special occupational taxes, NOT FFL "Licences".

A "class 3 FFL licence" or "Class 2 FFL licence" DOES NOT EXIST

They are correctly called SOT (Special Occupational Tax).

So a SOT 02 is the tax needed to be paid every year to allow the manufacturing of NFA items, including post samples.

a SOT 03 (what people confuse as a "CLASS 3") is the tax you need to pay yearly to deal in NFA items, including post samples which can be transferred to military, LEO, other SOT 03 or 02 holders.

From the 16" barreled ps90 some of the available rounds are decently lethal.

None of them are really worth a shit from the five-seven. The short barrel gives up too much velocity.

As far as ammo: Some of the rounds will penetrate a IIa vest, but so do a few available .22mag rounds from pistols. The AP and FMJ rounds icepick, the Vmax doesn't get acceptable penetration (from the pistol). This is where the opposing stories come from: mil and LE agencies use the blacktip AP specifically for the armor penetration but never shoot anyone in armor, then bitch about no terminal performance from their non expanding, non fragmenting ammo. Then, through a 16" barrel, the 40gr fmj fragments reliably at modest ranges and is a viable hunting round. But so is .22mag through a rifle, which has also killed a ton of hogs.
>>
>>30650794
You don't know much about it at all.

>IIa
lel. Even the American Eagle FMJ practice round penetrates Level II. For IIIa youll want to go for Elite Ammunition T6B or S4M.
