whats up with the Five - seveN

[Aikibiker]

If the stuff I have heard about the trajectory is true and they give it a decent trigger it might make a fun long range plinker.

Plus once the ban goes away a semiauto P90 with a 16 in barrel to get around the NFA sounds like it would be a lot of fun to play around with at the range.

I think the future of civilian sales for the Five-seveN (you are right Mr. Hill that does seem retarded) will be directly influenced by the AWB and whether or not it dies a much deserved death.

The five seven is intended as a miltary cartridge for a very specific purpose. I was trying to give the reasons why it was choosen for that purpose. Personally I carry a 1911 .45 series 70 for the intended purpose I use it for.

The letters FN are highlighted because they represent the initials of the manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale (or so I've heard).

Yes, Snubby... we know that...
But it's still retarded.

If you ask me, this is even more retarded: From FNH's web page, about the Five-seveN:

"The 5.7x28mm ammunition features a lead-free projectile to eliminate environmental concerns."

Ooo! What a great feature! I hate the way the world is going.
