Kinda shocked 5.7 is getting traction like it is. Figured it was a gimmick round like .17 hmr or .357 sig

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.

It was a big boost for 5.7 when NATO adopted it...

Didn't know they had. Makes sense since the round can pierce 3a body armor.

It won't be replacing the 9mm but it will be used in some situations..
