what's your opinion on the fnh Five-SeveN?

the round might have pierced the armor? Yes/No?

Not the civilian ammunition. Its more like a .17 HMR. It does have the velocity to perhaps penetrate level 2, Arroyo was wearing much more.

Yeah, only the military grade stuff can penetrate Kevlar effectively. They can even blow a hole through a Kevlar helmet. Its supposed to be a very nice gun, but I just can't justify the cost of ammunition to ever want one for a carry weapon. Now for a fun gun, thats a different story

A .223 round can effectively penetrate a Kevlar vest with little difficulty. I'd recommend you at least have that new AR of yours in your vehicle, just in case.

Remember:
Pistols are pistols, but a rifle, is a rifle.

Don't worry about it Age. In our great state you can walk down the street with a loaded long gun on your person without any kind of license whatsoever. I personally wouldn't recommend it, for obvious reasons, but that doesn't make it any less legal.
