FN Herstal Five-seveN .223 Tactical

lv29

This 20-round pistol fires a 5.7mm bullet that will defeat most body armor in military service around the world today. Essentially, the Five-seveN represents a quantum leap forward in the handguns suitablity for close engagements by delivering the type of performance that was previously confined to rifles or carbines. The Five-seveN's extremely low recoil impulse results in virtually no muzzle climb, thereby facilitating fast and controllable follow-up shots. Weighing 30% less than most 9mm pistols, the smoothly contoured Five-seveN is comfortable to carry and quick to deploy.

Mirror, mirror on the wall... I will give a ball!

Would be a good addition to my collection though. And firing a bottlenecked cartridge, daaaymmm.

Would this go in a holster or on a tactical sling with a verticle foregrip, the possiblities are endless lv29

On a serious note, thought they were going to keep that calibre LEO only, maybe the cost got the better of them, but not sure on this?

Interesting idea unfortunately if I remember correctly Dr Roberts said terminal ballistics were similar to 22WMR obviously with more hard target penetration. I will try to see what I can find.
