It is called the 5.7 but that is just like 5.56 and 7.62. It dosent mean that the bullet is almost six inches. A fifty caliber is 12.7 and that dosent mean it is a thirteen inch wide bullet
Why was the introduction of the FN57 to civilion shooters only with sporting ammo met with strong opposition from gun control organizations?
Why has it been subject to ongoing intense controversy in the US?
Why has it become increasingly popular and is it favored by drug cartels?
Why is it currently in service with military and police forces (including many Special Forces) in over 40 countries and in use of numerous law enforcement agencies, including the US Secret Service?
@tubevideoguy762 wait, hold on, lets consider the decimal point. Caliber actually goes by inches, so a .50 caliber bullet is .50 inches wide, or a half an inch wide, making a .22 cal .03 inches short of a quarter inch wide. So if we consider the 5.7 in caliber, it would be .30 inches short of being a whole six inches wide.
@KeporaGebora1991 Right (although you're probably talking about a "sixth inch" at the end ;-) ). It's pretty easy, dimension-wise: just think of a .223 cal. Remington, which is almost the same as 5.56mm NATO. So there we go: 5.7mm (.224 cal. in inches) is just a wee bit bigger than that. It's completely different cartridge, though. But that's a different story.
@KeporaGebora1991 Caliber isn't a form of measuring bullet width. Anything is considered a "caliber" for guns, which is why you can ask anyone "What caliber is your gun?" and they can reply with "9mm/.45 acp/44 magnum/.50 AE/ etc." Any of those answers would be right. Also consider that there are several "calibers" of the same size (9x19 Para., 9x18 Mak., 380 ACP, and 38 super are all 9mm projectiles) so "caliber" can be anything.
I'm not criticizing you for accidently saying 5.7 "caliber" instead of "millimeter", but I thought it was kinda funny because 5.7 "caliber" would be HUGE fuckin bullet.
my cousin has this gun and it is very nice. ammo is expensive for it tho. i really liked how u can be right or left handed and still be able to use the gun properly because mag release and what not are on both sides.
I like the gun. Too bad FN makes it. I really hate FN. Their quality really sucks eggs. They make most Marine Corps weapons now. I used to like the Marine M16 when Colt was making them; much better quality steel, finish, and precision in the working parts. Now FN makes them and they are really horrible. Mabe FN puts more into the build quality with this pistol. I want to check it out!
@TheBrandin1234 If you put millions of dollars into research, equipment, design, and employees, you have to make that back in sales, plus fund additional R&D for new innovations.
@TheBrandin1234 reason why it cost $1000+ is because of 5.7x28mm which can pierce through body armor, I don't think the government would want civilians to buy an body armor piercing handgun for $100-$200. If you were to make one what caliber is it gonna be a 9mm?
@TheBrandin1234 It definitely cost more than that to make. Plus your not just paying for the cost of the gun. You pay for the R&D, reliability, effectiveness, ex, ex. And you would never be able to make and hand gun let alone this one. People like you who don't look past the first step in anything, are why this country is going down the toilet.
@TheBrandin1234 I agree with you partly. It probably did take only $200-$300 to build, but it's the R&D and the brand name they are charging you for. Lots of time spent in testing and the design had to be engineered to FN standards. Great shooting gun, still too bulky and heavy though. But I agree with you, it is still GROSSLY over-priced. They should have sold it for no more than $1500 new.
Cool gun but highly over-priced and it fires rounds that are also highly over priced. This is why the Kel-Tec wins IMO as a long-range pistol; much cheaper and fires much cheaper rounds. Also I dont like how much faith FN puts into plastics. I know they are high grade polymers and are shock resistant and all, but they just feel like cheap toys. At least that's how my FS2000 felt.
@maxim020408 Contrary to common sense, being made out of plastic DID NOT make these firearms any lighter... My MSAR E4 AUG clone actually weighs less than the FN FS2000 and has more metal components on it. at 21 oz without a magazine in it the Five Seven isn't really on the light side either.
@jpap967 i think they made it out of plastic for 2 reasons; i think they made it lighter because they used more "heavy duty" metal parts... or thicker parts or such... and second, to reduce the cost of this gun. It is a very expensive gun, I know but that is because it used rounds that can penetrate standard body armor. If they made it out op metal it would make it a extremely heavy gun and therefor a extremely expensive gun. Now I'm not a gun expert at all these are my personal thoughts... =)
@maxim020408 The FS2000 was 98% plastic, down to the hammer. The only thing metal was the free-floating barrel pretty much. Aluminum or titanium would make the gun almost as light, as it is already it is very very bulky, maybe if made partly out of some metal, they would slim it down some. It is only an expensive gun because FN charges the consumer so much for it. Unfortunately, price at over $2000 the use of plastic obviously did not reduce the cost compared to other rifles in its class.
@jpap967 hmm you are probably right, i haven't shot a gun so far nor held a firearm made by FN so i do not have experience with this... damn you Belgians, make everything extremely expensive.....
Nice display/ video. Would love to try one, but I doubt that my range has one of those to rent. Must be one helluva ejector to kick out brass of that size. Pretty large.
In the HD, LE, and/or military expeditionary role 9mm and .40 cal pistols provide better options than the 5.7mm, though the 5.7mm pistole just may have a niche in counter-drug/counter-terrorism, esp. in full auto.
Gun is smexy, but i gotta know.... does this even work with a silencer in 5.7? I mean, the damn gun won't shut up, even with a silencer. Splinter Cell better be correct.
@ultrajd Those Berreta 92's are notorious for needing replacement parts only after a few thousand rounds. And the slides are made of magnesium, not bad - but a sign of imperfection. Berreta also has done a few improper things in government contracts. They do look cool, hold enough ammunition, and are reliable enough though. Five-sevenS are much more reliable, rugged, and conceptually sound though - but for a price of 50 cent a shot and $1000 a gun. I recommend it as a truly reliable service arm.
@Account0997 You wanna know something that happened to m? I once drew my 92 from my holster and the slide slipped right off the gun. Thankfully it was only an exercise. But I can tell you this it wasnt because of me. I always have my weapons in perfect working order.
I've been wanting one of those for a while but then I found the KelTec PMR 30 and went that direction. You would think the 5.7x28 round would be much more powerful but it's not and not only is the KelTec $700 cheaper the ammo is well below the round for the FN. I would still love to have one for the collection.
The P90 came first actually. Then several variations of the Five-seveN a few years later. But you are correct as to their intentions. One type of ammo to carry for a PDW AND a sidearm, and both are incredibly light with almost no recoil and the ability to penetrate vests (military and LEO only) from a distance of 200m. What more could you really ask for?
velocity and ammo capacity does not compare to bullet mass and a well placed shot....just ask some of our people comin back from the current war....they prefer the 30 cal over the 223
@johnnahodil well-placed shot def. essential with any round; the thing is that the velocities the 5.7x28 projectile hits and retains make for a hell of a lot of kinetic energy impacting a smaller area; it uses this energy post-penetration to tumble the projectile, ie the slug's essentially spinning around as it travels through the body, causing massive tissue trauma and extraordinary hrydrostatic shock while at the same time dissipating the energy so less risk of collateral.Check out HK MP7
I'd take a 6.5mm over a .30 any day of the week. Less recoil, and more down range energy than a .30 cal bullet. It also flies flatter, has less wind drift and smacks harder due to their high BC and SD. The only REAL reason those guys like a .30 over a .224 is because they are limited to FMJ ammo. The .30 is preferred because it leaves a larger wound channel and has better penetration capabilities for the urban warfare over there. So remember that size isn't everything.
This may be a stupid question but if it is all polymer, could you actually get this through a metal detector or do you think the few springs that are in it would be enough to set it off lol. Because if you could that would be pretty damn dangerous lol.
@XhellsdemonX777 It has less perceived recoil than any 9mm I've fired. Tell you what, though, this thing spews a flame out the end that you would not believe.
@XhellsdemonX777 Pleasure to shoot. Though the defense rounds from Elite Ammunition makes it kick like a 9mm. Very fun weapon to own. If you get one expect to read/hear bullshit about it's diameter.
@robocop207 no it isn't there skippy. A clip is a device that holds ammunition to be loaded into a weapon that has a fixed, non-removable ammunition feeding compartment (fixed magazine) such as the M1 Garand Rifle of US WW2 fame. A magazine is a removable ammunition feeding device such as what feeds modern handguns and assault rifles. Might help to not comment if you don't know what you are talking about.
@The617Viet hell ya why the hell not lol.you can never have to much fire power..cops hate these guns cuz they pierce armor and vests..they hate dealin with em lol..the round is small but real quick an nasty
@The617Viet with the rise of multiple assailants doing home invasions in America i would think so. IN my way of thinking its better to have too much firepower than not enough. You never know in a sd situation how many badguys you may need to stop plus in real life people dont always go down from one shot
@The617Viet It's the alternative sidearm for Secret Service (standard issue is SIG p229 chambered in .357 SIG; those guys need that kind of firepower. IMO necessity for this level armor-piercing round the FN fires is questionable, but I'm not the guy to question it ;-)
BTW @CoopStudios the Glock would be 'plastic' if Gaston's orginal design was allowed; think metal detectors. Polymer is lighter and has its pros and cons vs. metal but IMO, pros outweigh (no pun) the cons on this one. Be safe.

omg where do i start, never knew they had pistols that shot that round. Question for you sir, is that legal in the state of PA? or in the US for that matter, and are those rounds armor piercing?? love your vids bro, thats why im a subscriber, thanks
@GunWebsites ah sorry,i thought you`re selling those,becuz all of your review model is brand new gun. but i would like to ask the price of a licensed brand new 92fs beretta 9mm?if you have an idea.
@MisterMinnesota all handguns with releasable magazines must be limited to 10 round magazines. In order to sell this gun, FN makes a CA specific mag for this firearm. Not only search the website I gave you, but also search FNUSA site and you'll see they have the specific model for CA.
@marcusos1111 Yeah you can its on the CA doj gun list. Although no matter where you go itll be at least 900 to 1000. Oh and We can only have the 10 round mags.
@marcusos1111 I heard they have hollow point ammo that are legal. But the FMJ ammo is illegal. But I guess it depends on what state you live in. I'm norwegian so I dunno what gun laws in California are like :) But I guess they are not as strict as Norway. I'll bet my ass on that.
You know what I like about Gunwebsites, they get right to the point with no BS, and comparing it to other unneccesary firearms. And they don't overly criticise the guns either, and always have something interesting or cool to say about it. But that is just an opinion.
@34601k IIRC, this was designed for LEO use. they even make a special AP round they only sell to LEOs. personally, the price seems a little prohibitive. for the price of this gun you could buy 2 glocks or XDs. plus you would actually be able to find ammo for them.
@jawbone83 Yeah I know but I really like this gun. Hmm if I go to a grad school in a gun friendly state ill be sure to pick this up. Although your right, a glock is better. Oh anyways do you know of any glocks that come in .380?
@34601k as far as i know, glocks only come in 9mm, 10mm, .40, .45acp, and .45gap.if you are interested in a .380 you might want to opt for a 9mm. the rounds have an approx diam but the 9mm is a hotter round and much easier to find (read: not necessarily cheaper). i personally like the XD myself, but its all a matter of taster. i would recommend renting a couple at a firing range to see which one you like best.
guys always love your vids great stuff.....but is it really that hard to push a couple rounds out the weapon systems you are showing

velocity and ammo capacity does not compare to bullet mass and a well placed shot....just ask some of our people comin back from the current war....they prefer the 30 cal over the 223
johnnahodil 1 year ago
@johnnahodil well-placed shot def. essential with any round; the thing is that the velocities the 5.7x28 projectile hits and retains make for a hell of a lot of kinetic energy impacting a smaller area; it uses this energy post-penetration to tumble the projectile, ie the slug's essentially spinning around as it travels through the body, causing massive tissue trauma and extraordinary hrydrostatic shock while at the same time dissipating the energy so less risk of collateral.Check out HK MP7

@johnnahodil
I'd take a 6.5mm over a .30 any day of the week. Less recoil, and more down range energy than a .30 cal bullet. It also flies flatter, has less wind drift and smacks harder due to their high BC and SD. The only REAL reason those guys like a .30 over a .224 is because they are limited to FMJ ammo. The .30 is preferred because it leaves a larger wound channel and has better penetration capabilities for the urban warfare over there. So remember that size isn't everything.

This may be a stupid question but if it is all polymer, could you actually get this through a metal detector or do you think the few springs that are in it would be enough to set it off lol. Because if you could that would be pretty damn dangerous lol.

Lepiduscro 1 year ago
Actually it has a slightly bigger diameter compared to the .223, in milimeters: 5.7x28 mms
.223: 5.56x45 mms.
So the round is 0.14 mms bigger in diameter than the .223 but 17 mms shorter.
Only 2 weapons in the world use the 5.7x28 caliber, the FN Five-seveN and the FN P90

XhellsdemonX777 1 year ago
@XhellsdemonX777 It has less perceived recoil than any 9mm I've fired. Tell you what, though, this thing spews a flame out the end that you would not believe.

@XhellsdemonX777 Pleasure to shoot. Though the defense rounds from Elite Ammunition makes it kick like a 9mm. Very fun weapon to own. If you get one expect to read/hear bullshit about it's diameter.

@robocop207
a mag and a clip are two different things, they are not the same
JonRamboCA 1 year ago
@robocop207 no it isn't there skippy. A clip is a device that holds ammunition to be loaded into a weapon that has a fixed, non-removable ammunition feeding compartment (fixed magazine) such as the M1 Garand Rifle of US WW2 fame. A magazine is a removable ammunition feeding device such as what feeds modern handguns and assault rifles. Might help to not comment if you don't know what you are talking about.

@The617Viet with the rise of multiple assailants doing home invasions in America i would think so. IN my way of thinking its better to have too much firepower than not enough. You never know in a sd situation how many badguys you may need to stop plus in real life people dont always go down from one shot
reesie0414 1 year ago
@The617Viet It's the alternative sidearm for Secret Service (standard issue is SIG p229 chambered in .357 SIG; those guys need that kind of firepower. IMO necessity for this level armor-piercing round the FN fires is questionable, but I'm not the guy to question it ;-)
BTW @CoopStudios the Glock would be 'plastic' if Gaston's orginal design was allowed; think metal detectors. Polymer is lighter and has its pros and cons vs. metal but IMO, pros outweigh (no pun) the cons on this one. Be safe.

FMJ rounds are considered AP, thus you have to use JHP instead.

@MisterMinnesota all handguns with releasable magazines must be limited to 10 round magazines. In order to sell this gun, FN makes a CA specific mag for this firearm. Not only search the website I gave you, but also search FNUSA site and you'll see they have the specific model for CA.
rhddrifter86 1 year ago
@marcusos1111 Yeah you can its on the CA doj gun list. Although no matter where you go itll be at least 900 to 1000. Oh and We can only have the 10 round mags.

@marcusos1111 I heard they have hollow point ammo that are legal. But the FMJ ammo is illegal. But I guess it depends on what state you live in. I'm norwegian so I dunno what gun laws in California are like :) But I guess they are not as strict as Norway. I'll bet my ass on that.

34601k 1 year ago
@34601k IIRC, this was designed for LEO use. they even make a special AP round they only sell to LEOs. personally, the price seems a little prohibitive. for the price of this gun you could buy 2 glocks or XDs. plus you would actually be able to find ammo for them.
jawbone83 1 year ago
@jawbone83 Yeah I know but I really like this gun. Hmm if I go to a grad school in a gun friendly state ill be sure to pick this up. Although your right, a glock is better. Oh anyways do you know of any glocks that come in .380?
34601k 1 year ago
@34601k as far as i know, glocks only come in 9mm, 10mm, .40, .45acp, and .45gap.if you are interested in a .380 you might want to opt for a 9mm. the rounds have an approx diam but the 9mm is a hotter round and much easier to find (read: not necessarily cheaper). i personally like the XD myself, but its all a matter of taster. i would recommend renting a couple at a firing range to see which one you like best.
