FN 5.7x28mm SS195 and SS197 along with Remington Golden Saber 9mm fired into a stack of wet phone books (soaked 48hrs) to show a comparison of penetration, expansion, and "wound profile" in a like media.

5.7 fired from the FN Fiveseven and the 9mm fired from a browning Hi-Power, all from 7 yards.

Both 5.7 loads showed far greater disruption and damage (by 3-4x) than the 9mm and at a greater depth than the max damage of the 9mm.

9mm and SS195 both penetrated to the same depth, the core of the SS197 penetrated about 10% further.

  • I agree with Boombap420, it nice that it can penetrate that far but, what about stopping power? If it had great stopping power don't you think the military would use it instead of the 9mm?

  • Gay music made me not watch

  • @drug or buy fmj 10mm

  • @Cadeyrnable the mp-7 does not fire the 5.7x28mm...you realize this right?

  • @MrShysterme yup. people r like ginny pigs, they have no idea how things work. we left this technology of small handgun caliber with a bottlenecked case behind us over a hundred years ago. The laws of physics have not changed any and cartridge materials have changed little. why would this design all of a sudden work better?

  • @boombap420 I hope people don't start wanting penetration in civilian defense guns. They'll be more people shooting through a wall and hurting their kids. The best are rounds that blow up in the bad guy's chest.

  • @MrShysterme Exactly. 5-7 = intant faliur

  • i bet dr. gary roberts would still shit his pants if a pathetic 5.7 was pointed at his head

  • Now shoot a FMJ 9 mm into it.
