FNH 5.7x28mm Shooting Accuracy and Speed (Watch in High Quality)

[KnightInBrightArmor]

Awesome, really like the five-seven size. How does it handle? It shoots close to a rifle-sized bullet, so one would think it might have quite the kick, but from I saw it looks pretty controllable.

Cool video btw, thanks for sharing!

[sheldonshobbies]

@KnightInBrightArmor Recoil is very manageable I had heard 60% less recoil than 9mm. In the video my hold was probably not proper and I was using a rest as discused previously probably wasnt the best method in the video the recoil probably appears more significant than it really is. If you have the opportunity before getting one I would say try it out but if not I would find it very shocking if you weren't satisfied after owning one. Great weapon.

[SSgt24thMEU]

Wow! Nice shooting! I wish I were this good as a teen!

Don't let the media convince you guns are evil. Use them responsibly, and keep shooting :)

[sheldonshobbies]

@SSgt24thMEU Thanks for the positive encouragement and God Bless

[marbito11]

ha ha . good job kid

[Ratkill9000]

The 5.7x28mm bullet is a high accuracy medium recoil bullet. Accurate to over 100 yards in the FN57 and 200 yards in the P90. comes with a standard 20rd mag or 10rd restricted or a 30ext mag. $1199 brand new. When i turn 21 this would be the pistol id by or maybe a .38spl. revolver I've shot a .38spl, 45 APC (M1911 and Mark 23), .357mag revolver.

[GUITARIST6FOR6HIRE6]

WOW.!. My names sheldon too.! Thats Awesome.

[sheldonshobbies]

@GUITARIST6FOR6HIRE6 That is pretty cool. Not alot of us Sheldons out there I think your only the 4th person Ive met with the same name

[PewPewPlasmagun]

seems to be a good accuracy. and contrallable.

[thebeans380]

great shot.. see there is hope for the future...

[starforce224]

love this gun

[dakotagm17]

the people who disliked the video are people who cant shoot. :)

[axack9]

hey great video.... its pretty cool to see someone else young as myself (guessing) who can display their knowledge and skill with firearms in a decent way. Most of the other people like that are raving cod idiots who think they know more than i do about guns when they've never even shot one

[drigerGANG]

lucky amercans, you get to wear your own clothes in school and have guns

[tonyktx44]

Good shooting kid Keep it up!

[sheldonshobbies]

@tonyktx44 Hey thanks for the positive comment. It sure is nice to have civilized people that dont have criticizing and trash talking to get their fun.

[princepersia1]

Nice shooting bro, training from such a young age is always better because you learn faster and also learn responsibility and maturity. Ignore these trolls, leave them to their MW2, I mean at the end of the day what can you do, some people are just trolls. The more videos you make the more jealous they get, revel in their jealousy and hate haha. Anyways tc and be safe.

[Ambu557]

why so much haters???u guys are just haters cuz hes shooting a badass gun and u could only shoot it with a click of a mouse!!! Nice vid dude keep up the good work!!!!

[AGMHellfire1]

Nice work son. It's a sweet pistol. Keep working. You could be great. I've fired mine at 100 yards just to see if I could. It has a pretty flat trajectory all the way out.

[sheldonshobbies]

@AGMHellfire1 Hey thanks for the comment. I took it out to the same place and there were a couple other people out there that I let try it out and one of them came very close to some hits on a probably 2x1 foot object at that range so I agree completely on the trajectory.

[ReadyRave]

@sheldonshobbies Im jealous, this is one of my favorite pistols. I envy your son.

[rwmerlot777]

guns rock

[seahorsecowboys]

great shoot-in !...that young man was well schooled .....nice job....peace and god bless

[thejoey468983]

damn straight son. keep up the good work and continue to develop your skills. you have some potential.

[sheldonshobbies]

@thejoey468983 Hey thanks for the comment. Ive been practicing losts since that video was taken and can see the improvement.

[scooby1969doo]

Nice shooting.

[sheldonshobbies]

@scooby1969doo I appreciate the compliment and I like your account name it's great.

[MDS1958]

I understand that the only downside is the repeat or db level (painfully loud). I'm used to .357 magnum. How do they compare?

[sheldonshobbies]

@MDS1958 I don't think I've ever shot the five seven ears off. It has a nice fireball at the end of the barrel when you shoot it but as far as being piercing or incredibly loud I havent noticed that at all. I would say it is quieter than the .357 not for sure but just what I think.

[Doctorchops]

I've actually been wondering about the recoil on this - from what I've seen and heard it isn't too bad, but without actually shooting one, it's pretty damn hard to tell heh.. Anyways, the kid in this video seems to be handling it pretty well... good to know. Price is a little prohibitive heh, but it seems like a pretty awesome handgun..

[sheldonshobbies]

@Doctorchops Im the kid in the video I posted this after shooting it for the first time. The recoil I have been told is 60% less than a standard 9mm load. I haven't shot it side by side with a 9 but it is very manageable and is a lot of fun to shoot. You wont be dissapointed if you get one. Good luck.

[101eminem101]

@sheldonshobbies dude iv never shot a hand gun but i do have a lot of experience with shotguns believe it or not im 15 and i got my first shotgun when i was 7 now i have 9 shotguns 3 410 and 6 12 gauge and the recoil on them are not bad even with 3 1/5 inche shells so comparing the recoil of the five seven to a 12 gauge what recoils more

[sheldonshobbies]

@101eminem101 The five seven is way less than a 12 gauge and less than a .410 even. Recoil is very very minimal. A 9mm has more felt recoil than this gun does Ive heard 60% less but am not exactly sure on the numbers.

[leeyoungsb75]

He's just a kid, he isnt sapose to be shooting like some of us. And if he was that would just be scary to be honest. Keep it up young buck!

[sheldonshobbies]

@leeyoungsb75 Thanks for the positive comments.

[Jeenyus1983]

Rock on bro---Good to see some young blood in the shooting sports! I started shooting at age 6---Keep it up!

[sheldonshobbies]

@Jeenyus1983

Thanks for the positive comment. I love shooting its a great sport Ive been donig it since about that age aswell.

[jak9200]

You'll shoot ya eye out!

[AlphaWolf4672]

Damn, nice shootin. :D

[jwn43223]

Watch in high quality, There is no high quality to watch?

[sheldonshobbies]

@jwn43223 Hmm I'm not sure youtube used to have a High quality link but I think now what you do is change the resolution to 720p instead of like 320p check right along bar of play etc buttons right underneath video.

[sheldonshobbies]

@jwn43223 Im not sure it used to have a place where you could change the resolution and it came through more clear.

[TGLymantaiste]

Its the perfect varmint pistol!! that would be great for prarie dogs

[Prettybirdies]

@TGLymantaiste

no... that's a .22 my friend. A 5.7x28 has a lot of killing power. This is more for...

alligators.

[sheldonshobbies]

@Prettybirdies  Hey thanks for the comment. That be fun to use this on gators wouldnt it. Its sure potent as long as the bullet didnt fragment first would be my only slight concern. Do they have pretty tuff skin and has it ever been used on that kind of animal?

[Prettybirdies]

@sheldonshobbies

They do have some nice natural armor; buckshot is hard to penetrate it. I'm not sure if the 5.7x28 has ever been used on one, but the bullets made for penetrating ballistic armor so I bet it would work quite well xD.

[labartic]

I think this caliber is fine, as long as its being sprayed on full auto out of a P90 with AP rounds.

For a carry gun, Ill take something in a caliber starting with a 4

[MrSamjones1993]

@labartic

thus shows your lack of knowledge on the 5.7x28

[RealisticSigma]

@labartic i would ahve to generally agree, an i would usually carry the .45 an i have several of those, however, i would, in reality carry this if i had it. go watch some videos of its effect on water an melons an such. obliderates them. the round is also originally designed to defeat ballistic armor. this is a highly advanced round an the way of the future. however, ill still keep those .45s handy. lol

[IAmKraftDinner709]

its cartman

[yloiron]

I know it's all personal preference on what gun you choose. Everyone thinks the one they have is best. I have 2 kimbers and would go for a Dan Wesson first. They are harder to find because the market isn't flooded w/them. I have the five seven also but It's not my carry gun.

[sheldonshobbies]

I agree I dont think this is the perfect gun but its definately one of my favorites I mean how many pistols shoot a miniature rifle type round. But I agree different guns serve best in different areas this wouldnt be my carry gun either in most situations.

[cazorp]

Accuracy? He missed with two shots is what I saw ;)

[sheldonshobbies]

Ya I know and that was me not the gun. Also that was about a year and a half ago I've improved since then. Also I got the five seven in dark earth sweet color. I'll post a better video if anybody wants. I could do review as well though it probably wont be as good as nutnfancy's whos reviews are great for anybody needing a weapon reviewed.

[darkstararmory]

Nutnfancy doesnt shoot 70 percent of the handguns he reviews, he just holds them and talks about them, how can you trust a review that doesnt include any range time?

[sheldonshobbies]

Ok I see were your coming from but he does talk alot about them the fit feel sights and so forth. Thats why there are other videos of people actually firing the weapons. I trust his reviews because he knows what he's talking about and also its his opinion on some of the things so he is being honest with you about his first impressions. Its up to you as far as what you want in a review I agree somewhat that a firing them would be nice although alot of them are on loan not his guns so he cant

[lolthedude]

duuude how old are you?im 13 and i wanna get one

[sheldonshobbies]

@lolthedude I was 15 when the video was taken I turned 16 shortly after that though.

[Jeenyus1983]

@sheldonshobbies I'd be interested to see it-How about on a bench at 100 yards-just to see what kind of groups this sucker gets-the recoil doesnt look too bad... Thinking about this for my wife-

[furfinsandfeathers]

I was thinking of getting one of these for house protection and target shooting. Do you think a petite 13yr old girl could handle one of these with some practice and training... I here the recoil is a heck of a lot lighter than my Combat Govt model .45???????

[sheldonshobbies]

Definately would be a good especially if you can shoot one before purchasing it. Its a terrific gun for someone who's recoil sensitive but the drawback for a self defense weapon is overpenetration problems with such a fast and small diamter bullet. Unless your intruder has a soft body armour vest in which case this would be excellent. Good luck and if you decide to purchase one you wont be dissapointed. This round has 60% less recoil than a 9mm luger.

[RoyalAlba1]

@sheldonshobbies

so if a intruder comes in my house with a gun and i get in a gun fight the intruder isnt going to get hurt or what are you saying?

[sheldonshobbies]

What I was saying is some people experience over penetration yes he is definatley going to get hurt but with certain bullety types the round has a tendancy to go through the person. That Is why I said if they have thick clothing on or soft body armor rounds in certain types will go through that. I know a guy that has one as a self defense gun and personally I wouldnt mind using one. There may be better guns with less risk of overpenetrating but this is a sweet round.

[RoyalAlba1]

@sheldonshobbies ok i understand

[TacticalSerenity17]

@sheldonshobbies he he penetration. jk love the 5.7 round

[Shaggy2dope90]

@sheldonshobbies actually budy that was the reason the round was designed for was not to over penetrate the first thing the round hits it begins to roll and yaw and release ALOt of energy into the target. type in 5.7 vs 22 magnum the video with the phone books itll will visually show what i have said

[sheldonshobbies]

@Shaggy2dope90 Hey thanks for the comment and correcting me. Thats good to know although with something like the SS190AP stuff if you werent shooting body armour wouldnt it be a concern for over penetration. Again thanks for the comment and for keeping it civilized.

[hawkdlb06]

i got the same gun from a gun show for about $500 and my glock 17, i honestly think it is an awesome gun, the recoil is light and it has a 20 round mag i think it was a nice buy it came with bullets and 3 magazines.. i think my .22 mag kicks harder with cci maxi mag ammo

[sheldonshobbies]

You got a five seven for $500 or a G17? If it was the five seven congrats that was a sweet deal hook me up with one next time ;) I agree with you this is great gun.

[xex2kok]

@sheldonshobbies

He said he traded $500 + his glock 17 for a FN 5-7, so he paid around $900 to $1000ish all said and done.

[matt78tv]

Super nice pistol and round. I hope this round catches on in a big way. Cool video 5 stars.

[sheldonshobbies]

Ya I hope it catches on to because it is an incredible weapon and cartridge. Thanks for the comment.

[sonick808]

cool kid :)

[RussianCosmonauts]

I started to shoot pistols at the age of 7, first one was a .45 Ruger P90. Only a couple more years and I can legally own and carry one. Going to buy a Kimber 1911 Cover Custom and a FNH FIve Seven.

[Tairoku]

I wanna be that kid so damn bad...

[millerusaf]

Good shooting. Keep up the practice, and the good work.

Don't pay too much attention to the keyboard commandos.

[sheldonshobbies]

Thank you I love to shoot and I love that gun. Its accuracy is fenominal

[foggdogg7]

agreed. when i was 13, i was shooting double taps into heads and chests of silhouette targets at 15 yards

[mimixownzall]

at his age i could do that unrested

[mata777jal777]

This is a very good starter gun for a younger person or first time shooter. I got started on a .45 1911 when I was a kid and had a flinching problem untill I outgrew it.

[sexipapichulo416]

im 16 and my first gun was a 1911 .45 im having some flinching problems its etremly hard whit such a large caliber. i would trade the 1911 for a five seven any day

[DonnieDaniels]

At least you didn't start with a Berreta or a Taurus modeld after the M92F. Recoil's high on those things because of the oppening in the slide.

[GibboSpazz]

Darnit, you lucky schmuck. I wish I could fire a Five-Seven. :(

[3091181]

Are you guys seriously giving a kid a hard time? What the hell is the matter with you? He could probably out shoot 99% of you keyboard commandos. Bottom line I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that kids shooting.

[sheldonshobbies]

Thank you I appreciate the positive comment.

[3091181]

Hey no problem and keep on shooting, we need more responsible shooters. Especially at your age. Today's youth is being brainwashed by the liberal media to fear guns, their parents scold them for showing an interest in firearms, their communities turn their backs on them. It's a tough time for an American with common sense these days.

[ink357]

@3091181 exactly, and when he did miss it wasn't by much. that kid could hit a torso much farther away.keyboard commandos lol, they watch a couple of movies and think the shits easy.

[SurvivalEagle]

nice job! keep working on your accuracy tho.

[southendlegend06]

hay im about to bye one i reccomend a lazer for better shooting

[sheldonshobbies]

Hi actually it is good to train and become accurate with open sites. Ask gun people who compete or officers. True lasers are accurate but what if when you need it the batteries die or something like that. I am probably going to get a laser or light at some point just for the heck of it but it is good to be able to shoot well with open sights. Thanks for the comment.

Sheldon

[rockwjz]

completely agree, its always best to learn on open sights for at least a year before getting fancy.

[Rifleman2219]

Your so right.... I find that open sights are the way to go 90% of the time.... even in low light a good set of night sights are just fine.

[Mike11069]

yea, u always need a back up sight. electric sights are not very reliable so u need to keep ur iron sights. even at paintball lol

[PROADVENTURER]

I have a laser for mine, but don't use it. No decent holster for 5.7 + laser ( with my soft holster the laser switches on every time I sit down) and the pistol shoots so well, you really don't need it. Check my vid.

[silverfd]

at that distance, you should be shooting at soda cans at max. Move the jugs out to 75-100 yards for more of a challenge!

[sheldonshobbies]

Ya I know I was just starting out there. I accutually hit a can of soda at 44 yards quite a shot for a pistol. I love this gun. Accurate, reliable, no reciol and awsome ballistics. Thanks for the good comment.

[silverfd]

oi, at that distance, you should be shooting soda cans. Back the jugs up to 75-100 yards for rested shooting!

[thirdwise]

nice aiming... and quick shooting. you would beat most attackers easy like that.

[SheridanODonnell]

yea if he could find a milk crate to lean his arms on, that was not good at all, stand up and shoot.

[rextuhfer]

you don't aim right.

[sheldonshobbies]

What do you mean about aiming? I was shooting quickly and I think that's pretty good shooting I might have had my arms extended too far but you can't really see how I was aiming.

[mystaffy66]

Nice Shootn sheldon!!
