Re: 5.7x28 - the real skinny?
Mr Allen,
Keep in mind that the 5.7 round was developed in response to the order for a "Personal Defense Weapon" (PDW) Specs from NATO to replace the 9mm, with the round being a pistol and rifle-fired requirement, capable of penetrating body armor,
FN Herstal crushed it with the 5.7 in tests against the H&K 4.6 round.
So FNH developed the cartridge, then the rifle, then the pistol.
Used by over 40 Countries, and 200 LE Agencies in the US, specifically the Secret Service and DHS Protective services.
Whenever you see the Presidents Detail, they are carrying the P90 (full Auto) under their jackets.
I don't think that the SS (and the German Protection Team for Chancellor Merkel!) would use a 'crappy round' for their jobs...
And also used by Stargate SG-1 Teams along with BattleStar Galactica Viper Pilots!

Re: 5.7x28 - the real skinny?
Having fired the Five Seven pistol, I can say that it has minimum recoil, super light pistol, and 20 +1 capacity.
It is very easy to put rounds on target, but the fireball and sound are exceptional. Ha!
Now, if you had the PS90 rifle, you have a 50 ROUND magazine on that bad boy.
Expense of the ammo precludes me from adding either to my collection.
