[QUOTE="TANSTAAFL, post: 4059580, member: 27098"] It'll punch through a level IIA vest with most rounds, IIIA you need special rounds for LE only. I have heard rumors that the AP ammo is illegal for non LE folks. Self defense hollowpoint ammo is available but very pricey and is reported to penetrate titanium trauma plates. Of the youtube tests I have seen, it is much more potent than the .22 WMR. Also the 5.7 X 28 is only available in a 5" full size pistol. 9mm offers many much more concealable pistols. If you reload from what I have heard the 5.7 X 28 is very difficult to reload as well. The cartridge case has a polymer coating that rubs off when fired. Ammo is becoming more plentiful and it is an easy shooting round. FN tried to market the FiveseveN to women for a brief time with its light recoil. [/QUOTE]
