I've been eyeballing FN Five-Seven!!!!

[mif_slim]

So, I want to ask those of you who have this gun, do you guys like it?! Im already looking for dies etc for reloading it! LOL.

I did research and the mags are only 26 bucks, the gun is a bit pricy but its not a problem.

[leelaw]

I like my IOM. It's a fun plinking gun, if that's what you're looking for. I wouldn't plan on using it for self defense without 20rd or 30rd magazines, but would if it's my only choice.

[gearhead15]

I concur. It's my favorite range gun now, and it's not bad for defense.

[mif_slim]

I read a review on it that it comes with 3 mags?..I think it'll make major power factor from the numbers... 336-448PF. One questions though, would they let this caliber go for Production or Open?? If its even allowed for IPSC. lol

i don't understand the point of the 5-7.

[FNH5-7]

i don't understand the point of the 5-7.

I don't understand the point of: 25acp, 32acp, 10mm, 45 gap

but to each his own

[Corbin Dallas]

i don't understand the point of the 5-7.

Same point as any other firearm, it shoots projectiles with lethal force.

Same point as any other firearm, it shoots projectiles with lethal force.

That made my day.

One of the best guns I've ever shot! I've gotten 3 shots in an inch moa my first time shooting it at 25 yards

Huge bang, big fireball but no recoil ...awesome!

Same point as any other firearm, it shoots projectiles with lethal force.

It fires a round that has similar velocity of a .223, the energy transfer of 9mm, in a casing about the size of a .357mag, but with the felt recoil equal to or less than a .22LR that travels flatter than most (if not all) other handgun rounds.


I like it

Pretty much everything in that statement can be wiki/googled for specs on the other rounds in the analogy. The part about felt recoil is my own experience.

I can't find anything that indicates anything other than that the 5.7mm has terrible penetration in soft targets.
