5.7x28mm Weapon System
FNH USA, Inc. | |
The 5.7x28mm weapon system is comprised of three components: the 5.7x28mm ammunition, the P90 Sub-machine gun, and the Five-seveN handguns. The 5.7x28mm SS190 ammunition has been designed to bridge the gap between the 9mm ammunition and the 5.56 x 45mm. The 9mm FMJ round will not penetrate modern body armor and the 5.56mm (.223 Rem.) rifle ammunition creates over-penetration concerns in a close combat situation or urban warfare. The SS190 has unique design, utilizing two metal inserts. The tip of the ogive has a steel penetrator followed by an aluminum core that is heavier than the forward tip. This causes the bullet to tumble in soft body tissue after 2 inches of penetration. This design virtually eliminates the risk of over penetration. This also creates a large wound cavity and quick incapacitation. The SS190 will perforate 48 layers of Kevlar up to 200 meters when fired from the P90 and achieve the same result up to 50 meters with the Five-seveN handgun. The 5.7 ammunition has only 60% of the recoil impulse of a 9mm. The muzzle velocity of the SS190 is 2,346fps when fired from the P90 and 2,133fps with the Five-seveN. Tracer, Sub Sonic, Training and Blank ammunition available. Ammunition is supplied in the U.S. by Olin. |

The Five-seveN® Tactical Pistol (Official FN Press Release)
The Five-seveN® Tactical Pistol Delivers Total Package For Special Units And Tactical Teams
Designed to meet the needs of special units and tactical teams the FN Five-seveN® Tactical Pistol, the companion weapon to the FN P 90®, delivers unique, lightweight, ergonomic reliability to law enforcement agencies.
According to Rick DeMilt, Director of Sales and Marketing at FNH USA, Inc., "Tactical teams, special duty and patrol officers, now have a solution when confronted by dedicated, trained and motivated criminals armed with sophisticated military weapons and wearing body armor that stops conventional rounds."
"The criminal element today is highly determined, better armed and often well prepared for their encounter with the police. After studying these risks and liabilities that are associated with the rapidly changing law enforcement environment, FNH USA, Inc. has developed this handgun and cartridge system that provides officers with the required tactical advantage they need."
The Five-seveN Tactical, 5.7 x 28-mm caliber handgun, is a single-action trigger and features a delayed blowback operating principal. With an overall length of 8.2 inches, the barrel measures 4.82 inches, and weighs only 1.36 pounds with an empty magazine and 1.64 pounds with a loaded magazine. This tactical pistol also features an integrated accessory rail that allows for ease of mounting a light or laser for low light use.
The Five-seveN Tactical features a 20-round magazine with its short, crisp trigger pull, and allows for fast and accurate shooting by law enforcement. The low recoil of this tactical pistol allows for quick re-engagement of the weapon, when needed.
As an additional safety feature, the firing pin only fires when the trigger is intentionally pulled. The manual safety also can be used to block the trigger, if needed. The Polymer frame and slide cover of this pistol is ergonomic, incredibly light and easily maintained by officers. The shrouded hammer also will not catch on equipment and is protected from impacts.

FN P90® Triple Rail Delivers Tactical Innovation (Official FN Press Release)
FN P90® Triple Rail Delivers Tactical Innovation
MCLEAN, VA - FNH USA, Inc., a subsidiary of FN Herstal, S.A., Belgium, delivers for American law enforcement an ambidextrous weapon system for maximum versatility to meet the demands of any tactical situation. The FN P90TR is a revolutionary and quality weapon that features three Picatinny rails to aid officers in deploying a weapon built for convenience, reliability and extreme accuracy.
"Allowing the user to configure this weapon to mission requirements, the P90 TR gives maximum flexibility of weapon configuration and a wide choice of sights and accessories," according to Rick DeMilt, Director of Sales and Marketing.
The full-length top rail is equipped to take a wide variety of optical sights providing the most accurate shooting capabilities for officers. These sights can be positioned to give the correct eye relief while engaging the weapon and can be removed and reassembled without the loss of zero. This enables officers the convenience of multiple sights in both day- and low-light situations. By using a rail on the P90 TR to mount the sight, officers are able to rapidly add a night sight when required.
The two side rails allow for accessories such as tactical lights and external lasers. The use of these accessories will enhance the accuracy of shot for the officer. Accessories can be mounted on each side, or one accessory can be placed on the side that is most convenient to the user. The P90 TR is completely ambidextrous by allowing mounting of accessories to either side of the weapon.
Measuring 19.7-inches in overall length, 2.2-inches in width and 7.1-inches in height, the P90 TR has proven to be quit effective in various law enforcement situations. With an empty magazine, this weapon weighs only 5.7 pounds and is facilitated to hold a capacity of 50 rounds in the magazine. Officers are also able to choose between two firing modes: single shot and full automatic, allowing the P90 TR to be used in any number of police situations. It has a 900-rpm cyclic rate of fire and a maximum effective firing range of 200 meters.

5.7 x 28 System Imprortant Info (Official FN - Outdated)
Important information about availability of ALL 5.7 x 28mm weapon systems and ammunitionBATF regulations: All components of this system are tightly regulated by BATF. The P90 (NFA, Class III weapon) can only be sold and registered to a law enforcement agency. The Five-seveN pistol is slightly different. The first sale, which requires the pistol to be legally imported into the US, requires the same procedure as the P90. A BATF Form 6 is needed which the chief or the second in command must sign. The pistol can then be removed from the Custom Bonded Warehouse and shipped to the agency. The ammunition is controlled in much the same manner, an approved BATF Form 6 is required then the ammunition can be shipped direct to the agency. The 5.7x28mm weapon system is comprised of three components: the 5.7x28mm ammunition, the P90 Submachine gun, and the Five-seveN handguns. The 5.7x28mm SS190 ammunition has been designed to bridge the gap between the 9mm ammunition and the 5.56 x 45mm. The 9mm FMJ round will not penetrate modern body armor and the 5.56mm, being a front line type combat ammunition, is far too potent to address close combat situation or urban warfare. The SS190 due to its unique design with two inserts, the tip of the ogive has a steel penetrator followed by an aluminum core heavier than the forward tip, will cause the bullet to tumble in soft body tissue after 2 inches of penetration. The SS190 virtually eliminates the risk of over penetration This terminal ballistic behavior will cause large wound cavity and quick incapacitation. The SS190 will perforate 48 layers of Kevlar up to 200 meters when fired from the P90 and achieve the same result up to 50 meters with the FsN handgun. The 5.7 ammunition has only 60% of the recoil impulse of a 9mm. There are four types of ammunition: the duty SS190 (0.41c/round), the tracer L191 (0.69c), the subsonic Sb193 (0.44c) and the training round T194 (0.29c). The ammunition is available from a CBW stateside (Belgium production) or made by Winchester Olin and stored here at FN Manufacturing. The muzzle velocity of the SS190 is 2,346fps when fired from the P90 and 2,133fps with the FsN.
A list of the departments using the 5.7 WS is available upon request. Your department can request T&E weapon(s) with ammunition or ask us to provide an on site presentation and demonstration of our weapons. |

5.7 x28mm Ammunition (Official FN)
It is a sad commentary on the time we live but the criminal element, which police are facing today, is more and more determined and resourceful. They could be classified as professionals who carefully choose their targets, weapons, and protection, which as the Bank of America and other recent incidents prove often include personal body armor.
This is the reason why FN Herstal developed the 5.7 x 28 mm ammunition for the P90 submachine gun and the Five-seveN pistol.
The round will consistently penetrate 48 layers of Kevlar where all known 9 mm, .40 cal. and .45 cal. bullets will just bounce off. The light weight, high velocity bullet will tumble on impact, ensuring reliable incapacitation without over-penetration.
Page Last Updated: 12/03/03Low recoil impulses makes follow-up shots quick and accurate because we know that in spite of all the hype written about new wonder bullets in the industry bullet placement is the single most important factor in ending a lethal confrontation.
