Dear David:
Thank you for your question.
The problem you are addressing is an old one and it looks deceivingly
simple. We need to start mentioning Newton's Second Law. In the following
link there is a nice explanation about this subject:
ballistic trajectories
This page reads in part: 'In this lesson we will experiment with
computing and visualizing ballistic trajectories. A ballistic trajectory
is the path followed by an object which, after it is given some initial
velocity, travels only under the influence of gravity. For the purposes of
this lesson we will ignore the effects of air resistance.'
Well, ignoring air resistance, or, more generally, the medium resistance,
is a huge simplification. Nevertheless, we will go along for the moment.
The Ballistic Trajectory Problem
One of the first problems studied in an introductory physics class is the
ballistic trajectory problem. Let's assume that we are standing in a flat
field and that we throw a ball so that it starts out moving at some
velocity V > 0 and at some angle theta radians with the ground. At any
given time t, the ball's horizontal distance is given by
Vt cos (theta)
and its vertical height is given by
Vt sin(theta) - (1/2)gt^2
where g is the earth's gravitational constant, or 9.8 meters/sec/sec. This
assumes that the ball's initial ho"

by Charlie Cutshaw
The Five-seveN pistol dates to the mid-1980s when FNH began design work on what would eventually become the 5.7x28mm P90 submachine gun (SMG). The 5.7x28mm cartridge was designed to defeat Soviet body armor of the time. The main defeat mechanism is the steel and aluminum cored SS190 bullet. Other bullets in the 5.7x28mm family do not have the SS190’s armor penetrating capabilities. With the demise of the Soviet Union and changing threats, the P90 vision shifted to special operations and law enforcement. "

The FN P90: A submachine gun developed in Belgium. When found that standard issuede handguns and SMGs issued to tank crews were unable to go through armored targets, the P90 was developed. The P90 fires 5.7x28mm round, which is basically a scaled down version of the 5.56x45mm round standardized by NATO. The P90 is capable of going through most starndard forms of body armour at considerable ranges. It's allows for ambidextrous firing. Though the P90's bullet design allows for more range and penetration than that of other more standard SMGs (MP5, MAC 11, Uzi, etc.), its smaller caliber gives it less stoping power than even the NATO standard 9mm Luger round, because of this the P90 is less than ideal against unarmored targets. The P90 is in a way the epitome of the PDW, with its only real competition being the HK MP-7.

Miscellaneous Questions
[See original article for a nice illustration and chart. Note that some of the information is factually incorrect. - SPG]
Miscellaneous Questions: "Q. How effective is the P90 'submachinegun' used on Stargate?
A. Despite all the manufacturer's hype and Hollywood glitz it is not as effective as they want you to believe. Weighing about 6.5 pounds with a loaded 50 rd magazine, it was originally designed as a 'personal defense weapon' for rear echelon troops and vehicle crew members that would be easier to to shoot effectively than a handgun.
The SS190 ball penetrates between 11 and 13.5 inches of gelatin, but the wound resulting from this projectile is a relatively small. The permanent cavity at its largest is either a .22 cal hole or simply a . 22 caliber flat slit the length of the projectile (2.1 cm) caused by the projectile tumbling. Although the 5.7 x 28 mm SS190 round penetrates soft body armor, its wound trauma incapacitation potential is at best like a .22 LR or .22 Magnum. Even 9mm NATO FMJ makes a larger wound--and I'm sure you know of the awe inspiring incapacitation potential of M882 FMJ 9 mm ball from the M9. While it's stated 'effective' range is listed as 200 meters this is pushing things a bit. While it can deliver a severe wound at that range, even up close it lacks the 'stopping' ability of most regular pistol rounds.
The 'civilian' 40 gr softpoint 5.7 mm rounds may be a bit more effective in creating a permanent cavity but penetration would be reduced. I haven't seen any tests of this round, but they too will reportedly penetrate some body armor.
The P90 is also available in a non-fully automatic civilian version with a 16' barrel as opposed to the 10' military version. The 16' barrel gives about 140 f/s greater velocity with the SS197 ammunition. Below is a table of currently available ammunition. Only the now discontinued SS196 and SS197 variants are available on the civilian market.

As usual, gun-control measures cost more innocent lives than they save. This one is no
exception. Instead of banning the FN 5.7 or any other gun, legislators should remove barriers to
the civilian possession and use of the latest technology in weaponry. The life they save may be
