By writing and publishing a news article, the author is basically declaring himself/herself an expert on the topic that they are reporting. If you are an expert on the news story, you should know what the heck you're talking about! They had not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 authors that wrote this article, and not one of them could be bothered to consult wikipedia and learn a little bit about the gun in question?
It also annoys me that the authors chose key words like "savage" to describe the 5.7x28 and evoke some emotion from the readers. The 5.7x28 isn't savage. Flechette rounds are savage; hand grenades are savage. The five seven just shoots a very small and light bullet at a moderately high velocity.
They also got a "law enforcement source" to say "it's a bad-ass gun." No it isn't. From what I've heard it's actually a really light recoiling, easy to shoot gun. Now if Felton was toting around a Magnum Research Desert Eagle, then the "law enforcement source" would be right to call it a "bad-ass gun."
