I know I'll get some laughs from this but has anyone given thought to carrying this pistol as primary? For those not familiar with it, it fires a 5.7 x 28mm round. These rounds are normally fired via machine gun and this is the only pistol made to fire these rounds.
I own one and I'm impressed at how light the pistol is with a full magazine of 20 rounds. It comes with three magazines so you have 61 rounds available without purchasing more magazines or the +10 round extenders.
There are rounds that can penetrate 58 layers of Kevlar but there are some rounds only available to the miltary and LE. The rounds don't expand but are designed to tumble, providing significant damage without over-penetration. I've yet to take mine to the range but a friend shared his experience and said he shot a thick piece of steel and it punched a perfect hole in it, then shot a watermelon (with the sametype round)and it literally exploded. Yes, I know that a human body isn't equivalent with a watermelon, but still...
Does anyone know of tests in ballistic gellatin with the available rounds? There is a lot to be said for having 21 in the pipe in such a light pistol.
