5.7 is awesome to shoot and a full power round has twice the energy of a 9mm with half the kick, penetrates everything and more capacity than 9mm.
I'm not shitting in the round, don't misunderstand me. It has a definite role. I don't agree with the energy statement however, based on Paul Harrell's tests on the round. I will not argue about the penetration about the round. It's designed to penetrate body armor, which is great for military and certain civilian applications, like armored car drivers. But as an overall round, it has major issues for the average fud to use. OVER penetration being one.
I lol everytime someone says over penetrate. It's a fucking gun, it's supposed to penetrate. Go buy a slingshot if you're worried about going too far.
While I agree with your sentiment, if a bullet goes through a nigger, through a wall, and hurts another bigger in another apartment next to you, suddenly your going from a singular shooting to attempted murder on another party. Granted this IS a unique situation, but it is a situation where over penetration could be relevant. It could also be an issue for a peace keeper who is trying to kill a target in a crowded area without collateral damage.
Just saying.
