5.7x28 ammo was built from scratch by FN Herstal, one of the world's largest suppliers of military arms, to embody characteristics of both a handgun and rifle cartridge. In fact, FN released the cartridge in 1990 alongside the Five-seveN handgun and the P90, a carbine popularized by some of the most popular first-person shooter video games. While 5.7 x28 ammo has a novel following in the civilian world, it's actually used by some very serious players like elite military and law enforcement teams.
On paper, FN 5.7 ammo is no joke. By the way it performs, it can pierce soft body armor. At first glance, it looks a lot like the 5.56 military rifle cartridge, but it's much lighter, so you can carry more of it. Also, during testing, Five seveN ammo demonstrates a flatter trajectory and it doesn't over-penetrate. Weighing 31.2-grain, a 5.7 bullet has a muzzle velocity of 2,346 feet per second.
