Did he hit anything he was aiming at?
Both of which can be a plus in a gunfight or when dealing with a home invader...
This seems like the perfect zombie caliber.
Two Five-seveN’s were used by major Hassan in the Ft. Hood massacre.
I believe that the FN 5.7 is the same handgun used by the Fort Hood shooter in his personal Jihad.
I guess you might as well use a light caliber if you’re not going to hit anything.

I didn’t know that Lemme from Motorhead lived in Conway!
This is a great review of the FN

Yea, it’s pretty loud.people at the indoor range always wonder what I’m
Shooting when I pull it out to plink a little.
If you want to introduce/train a new shooter the 5.7 is a great gun.
I helped a woman friend and she hated the .38 but loved the 5.7. I weapon she would like to train with and continue to use too.
See. I wouldnt sound like half as bad a shot as this clown if I missed all 6 of my .357 mag.
The snubbie makes for quite the muzzle flash and I would characterize it as “loud”.
As a self-defense piece, though, I'm a little less enthusiastic. The difficulty is that the terminal ballistics of the bullet are hindered by the shortness of the pistol barrel - the cartridge was actually designed for a longer-barreled submachine gun and the pistol was something of an afterthought. The upshot is that most of the rounds I've chrono'ed come in at quite a bit less than the advertised 2000 fps, which is near the minimum you need for supercavitation. Moreover, the ammunition commonly available for civilian use isn't the stuff originally designed for - the SS-190 is technically armor-piercing and as such available only to military and law-enforcement. HERE is an interesting gunblog article on the topic.
Nevertheless, hit what you're shooting at and it can get the job done. And it is nice to carry 20 rounds per mag. It might not be my go-to gun for a gunfight but then there isn't a perfect one anyway.
