Five-Seven Torture Test?

Haha! Your money, OP. Have fun and post lots of pics/videos please.

I was thinking about that too... That is a good idea. I will work on that test as well.

If you do subject the Five-seveN to a blast, I think it would only be fair (to the gun) to have it in a holster as that is most likely where it would be in the event of an IED or some other explosive situation.

I would actually like to see if the gun would shoot after getting shot in the slide. I know the polymer cover would be toast, but it would be cool to see if the gun would function after getting hit with a small bullet or some serious shrapnel.

You know I was getting very excited about the FN 5.7....I did a lot of reading about it and even decided the price was not going to stop me from owning one then while reading some of the threads [ I just joined the forum) it occurred to me that I had never checked if ammo was readily available so I started looking...In as much as it is available I just realized it costs roughly $.50 a round....50 CENTS A ROUND....give me a break...My 9mm Hk `s and Glocks cost me less than $.20 ....So maybe I`m jumping the gun here and maybe there is someplace that I`m not aware of that you can purchase it cheaper because if that`s what it costs...they can keep the 5.7x28...Heck my 223 only cost $.20 some cents...Based on the previous posts that they shot 40,000 rounds that would cost $20,000 my 9mm would cost less that 1/3 of that...I`m a guy that shoots my guns there were rarely ever safe queens in my house but at the cost of this 5.7 I`m out....no disrespect here just my common sense...maybe when [if ever ] someone decides to make ammo within reason I`ll Take another look

I just realized it costs roughly $.50 a round....50 CENTS A ROUND....give me a break...My 9mm Hk `s and Glocks cost me less than $.20 ....So maybe I`m jumping the gun here and maybe there is someplace that I`m not aware of that you can purchase it cheaper because if that`s what it costs...they can keep the 5.7x28...

This round is a high quality, slightly proprietary round. Yes it will be a little more expensive then the more common calibers. With a little searching you can find bulk buys for as low as .39/per round. See this thread for finding a good deal.

Considering that the 5.7x28mm is only used in under 10 produced weapons, it's a niche caliber. For that I expect it to a be a little bit pricier than the stuff I can find at Wally-World.

Welcome to FNForum. You can find the 5.7X28 rounds cheaper than that. Cabellas has a sale going on now for $0.40 a round. Sometimes they come in cheaper than that. Buying in bulk will always save you money. You have to remember that 9mm quality ammo cost about the same or even more.

Great first post.

And it appears you are doing your shopping in the wrong places.

It's the most ugly ass pistol on the planet.

If I ever bought a Glock it would be for only one reason and something we can't talk about on this forum.

Amen brother!!!!! Makes me want to puke just looking at it!

If a glock would mate, this is the only thing that it could do it with!
