The correct answer is "it depends." Depending on what it hits, the bullet could either stay inside or exit.seadog wrote:The question still is; what happens to the bullet? I know what my Golden Saber JHP is designed to do, what does this bullet do once it enters?

It is a high capacity, reliable, accurate carry piece that has some body armor piercing capability when loaded with the correct ammo.
For standard self-defense or even police work, I agree with the guys who say that their are likely better tools for the job. There are a lot of top notch, high capacity pistols in calibers that are probably better for up close, personal defense. If I am not crouched behind a rock holding off insurgents while praying for air support, I would probably pack a .45. That being said, I find the Five-seveN a really interesting piece and would like to add one to my collection.
In this situation, if you had plenty of ammo, the Five-seveN would be a great weapon to have.- Wed Dec 02, 2009 5:17 pm

Re: FNH Five-seveN
Yes, but the 9 mm and .45 ACP are also military rounds. One never knows which will survive.surprise_i'm_armed wrote:seadog:

Re: FNH Five-seveN
I think that the value of this round, due to it's small caliber and low recoil, is that it is easier to consistently hit a target than with a more powerful cartridge. It's almost like a handgun version of the 5.56 X 45 mm or .223 Remington.
If a smaller version of the gun were available I would certainly carry it over a .22 LR, .32 ACP and probably over a .380 ACP. However, due to the overall length, I don't think that it is possible to design a compact handgun that will function reliablily with the FN 5.7 X 28 cartridge.
