@Tenzinpelha The bullet is smaller and moves much faster. The 5.7x28mm is designed for armor penetration, so i guess it depends on definition of "stronger" and what you are trying to do with the bullet.
the solid 5.7x28mm is designed to fly through material like that - it would take a watery or tissue to start the tumbling so I'm not surprised that it's not a good bowling pin caliber!
@BuffmanLT1 In general, I would not like to get hit with this round, regardless of "knockdown power." I've been shooting .22 in a pistol for most of my life, so anything bigger than that is pretty gnarly. :)
@FiveTwoSevenTHR I know they do. :) But as mentioned the .45 is a big 230gr slug that's going to knock down the pin, whereas the 5.7 is going to zip through it :)
@FiveTwoSevenTHR Not much betterHeck look at my .30 carbine bowling pin video. Those have quite bit of energy even from pistol, yet they still penetrate through the pin rather than like those big slugs from a .45 or .50 AE :) Look at the 5.56 video I posted as a response from someone shooting 5.56 at a bowling pin
@rockstarr469 Yes. Ability to knockdown bowling pins is in no way any indication of terminal performance of a round. Big slugs knockdown pins or steel. This was merely a demonstration to show that it can knock them down. Check out amendmentNo2 if you have any doubts on the terminal performance as he has ballistic gel tests. This is not an end all be all caliber, but it performs on par with all common pistol calibers..
^lol actually it does. its just not a very big split. the pins are numbered according to their position so the #6 pin is right in between the five-seven lol
I went with the Kel tec pmr 30

@XJonnyGunsX LOL no one ever said 5.7 was some super 10mm or something. it's energy figures are on par with 9mm. And again big slugs knock down pins.

@BuffmanLT1 Look at Elite Ammunition, they have loadings that Brassfetcher has determined to be equal to .45 ACP.

@BuffmanLT1 5.56 x 45 out of a 20" barrel would knock them over when it's the same caliber round moving even faster.
