Re: FN Five Seven
I dont have any empirical data just me playing with it. I assumed that if it would penetrate a 4x4 all the way then meat would be no barrier. I need to go see the gelatin pics I guess. Although according to the last episode of CSI (they featured a P90 with 5.7 ammo) you cant even buy the gun or ammo in the USA. Guess all that ammo in the safe is just my imagination.LowGrainHighPain wrote:There are many rounds of 5.7x28mm ammo that consistently tumble or fragment/expand in ballistic gelatin. The 5.7x28mm round was designed specifically NOT to over-penetrate and there are no current 5.7x28mm rounds available that simply "ice-pick" through gelatin - you must be talking about the Kel-Tec PMR-30. That indeed does ice-pick in gelatin. There are two main types of 5.7x28mm rounds; one fragments/expands and the other tumbles.rm9792 wrote:I have one in my safe (not mine though).I think it is too big for CC, at least for me ( I CC a 4" 1911). I also believe that it has way too much penetration and does too little damage, kinda like an ice pick in flesh. I shot this thing completely through a 4x4 post so I doubt meat will even slow it much. The bullets are sharp, not JHP. I just got a PMR30 which I am interested in CC as it holds 31 rds of .22WMR.
I have only shot my PMR30 at paper.
