Re: FN Five SeveN pistol
How would an outright ban on 5.7x28 benefit them?

Re: FN Five SeveN pistol
Why would anyone ban the five seven? Lots of rounds can penetrate body armor in several common calibers.
I found factory 9mm+P+ ammo that defeats a IIIA. There are certainly plenty of .38 super, .357 magnum and .357 sig loads that will too.

Re: FN Five SeveN pistol
Yeah, but the politicians don't seem to have quite the hard-on for those calibers as they do for the 5.7.

Re: FN Five SeveN pistol
I can't really remember any pol except for the usual few gun haters even mentioning the five seven any time in the last several years.

Re: FN Five SeveN pistol
The Tok 7.62x25mm factory flat nose rounds will penetrate a IIIA vest.
I was just testing some .22 LR rounds from my new M&P 15/22. So far, the best i've found is the Aguila Interceptor 40gr flat nose hypervelocity round. It penetrated 12-15 layers of Kevlar in my tests...should be just enough to defeat a level IIA vest.
I decided to test this Aguila round because the new Federal American eagle 40gr TMJ 5.7x28mm round -when fired from a five seven pistol- is actually only about 75fps faster than the intercepter round will do from my 22" S&W M&P-15/22. The 40gr 5.7x28mm will defeat a level II vest fired from the Five SeveN pistol as shown in video tests i posted in this thread.
American Eagle 5.x7x28mm 40gr TMJ from 4.8" FsN Barrel: 1625fps (online video chrono tests)
Aguila 40gr JFN .22LR from 22" barrel: 1550fps (user chrono reported velocity using 22" rifle)
The extra 75fps difference between the two seems to equate to another half dozen additional layers of Kevlar penetration.
I find it pretty cool that even the hottest 40gr .22 lr round fired from a 22" barrel still falls 75fps short of the slowest 5.7mm 40gr when fired from a 4.8" pistol barrel.

Re: FN Five SeveN pistol
WANT SO BAD!!!
New custom slide cover for FsN:
Currently the designer is talking $100 per unit, which is out of my price range...but if the price came down to $50 or $60, i'd be all over it in a HEARTBEAT. I think it looks seriously badass.
It's being made by "S-industries" and is currently still in the prototype stage.

Re: FN Five SeveN pistol
If they only made one that fit my small girly hands I would be all over it. Even if it was over $1,000. Seriously, small hands are a curse in the firearms world. Can't even get a good grip most double stack 40S&W handguns! Forget about 45, 10mm, and I'm betting the 5.7 is right there with the rest of them.
