HarvDog Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Does anyone know anything or heard anything about the Five-seveN® Pistol ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: FN\'s Five-seveN® Pistol Before I changed jobs a few months back I always received all types of security alerts from the FBI and DHS and I recall getting a bulletin on this. They were emphasizing the "defeats body armor" claim. Of course just about any centerfire rifle will defeat body armor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Schmeck Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: FN\'s Five-seveN® Pistol There's an article on it in the April 2006 Shooting Times, page 34 or try www.shooting times.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hangunnr Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: FN\'s Five-seveN® Pistol Buddy of mine has one. It's a hot little round for a handgun. I haven't shot it yet but am hearing the accuracy isn't all that spectacular. But hey, there's 20 rounds in the magazine. hangunnr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ronin Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: FN\'s Five-seveN® Pistol I beleive the emphasis for the pistol is international LE. There was some talk about this becoming the "common" round. The claim to fame is velocity coupled with lot's of bullets! This is ther real reason people want to see this thing banned.

WNY_Whitetailer Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Re: FN\'s Five-seveN® Pistol Here's a quote from the webpage that Harvdog posted originally... [ QUOTE ] The Five-seveN® fires the SS190 5.7x28mm ball round. This projectile will perforate any individual protection on today's battlefield including the PASGT kevlar helmet, 48 layers of kevlar body armor and the CRISAT target (titanium and kevlar). The SS190's conventional design allows it to be manufactured on existing production lines, and its lead-free composition eliminates range contamination. [/ QUOTE ] Not too sure how I feel about this? I was issued a kevlar vest and helmet recently for my new career. I really don't want to hear about more things that can defeat the armor. I know that most rifles can defeat the body armor but most handguns cannot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
