About the Gun

The Five-seveN was designed as a companion pistol to the manufacturer's FN P90 submachine gun. It is chambered to use the same 5.7x28mm cartridge as the P90. The advantages of the pistol include its light weight and recoil, and its high capacity.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was developed by Belgium gunmaker Fabrique Nationale for its new personal defense gun, the P90 and its companion pistol, the FN Five-Seven. The military armor-piercing variant of the round is claimed to be far superior to the NATO standard 9mm cartridge. The civilian variants of this cartridge are not available with armor-piercing bullets, and as such have a much weaker performance, closer to that of the .22 WMR (.22 Magnum).

F/N 5.7MM PISTOLS Rawk!!!!!!
By Daywalker on 26 May 2022
These pistols fire hypersonic rounds capable of defeating body armor, and they are a blast to shoot with little to almost no recoil!!!!! It's the equivalent of shooting a .22 Hornet round, but with a lot more balls!!!!! As a side note: This was also the weapon of choice for Sam Fisher in the "SPLINTER CELL" games, and with good reason, because these guns are nail drivers!!!!!!!!
