Fabrique Nationale (FN) Five-seveN
History:The Five-seveN pistol was designed as a complimentary sidearm for the P90 submachine-gun. The P90 and Five-seveN share the same ammunition, the 5.7x28mm SS190 cartridge. The key idea behind that ammunition and weapons is to provide good penetration against personnel, protected by modern body armour, while keeping weapons' weight, dimensions and recoil at reasonable levels.
Facts & Specs:
Caliber: 5.7x28mm SS190
Function: Semi-automatic, Double Action Only or Single Action (in Tactical model) pistol
Weight: 620 g with empty magazine; ca. 760 g loaded
Length: 208 mm
Barrel: 122,5 mm long
Magazine capacity: 20 rounds
Muzzle velocity: 650 m/s
Sights: Standard combat; optional night sight with luminous dot
Maximum effective range: 50 m
Manufacturer: Fabrique Nationale, Belgium
Accuracy: The Five-seveN is easily controllable as it remains aligned on the target, thereby facilitating fast and controllable follow-up shots.
Reliability: High
Weight: Weighing 30% less than most 9mm pistols, the Five-seveN is comfortable to carry and quick to deploy.
Size: Medium. Well balanced, with smooth contours and no protruding parts, the pistol will instinctively be handled correctly.
Muzzle Flash: Recoil impulse results in virtually no muzzle climb.
Stopping Power: The Five-seveN is capable to penetrate standard PASGT vests (kevlar) at 300 meters and standard CRISAT vests (titanium + kevlar) at 100 meters.
My notes (and other findings) related to the FN 5.7x28mm Weapon System (Ammunition, Five-seveN pistol, P90 PDW, PS90 carbine, CMMG Banshee Mk57, SCHV weapons in general, conversion of other weapons, accessories, reloading, etc.)
