The FN 5.7's nominal projectile diameter is the same as the 5.56NATO, and the .223 Remington... which is .224". In fact, the projectiles are "generally" swappable between 5.56NATO and FN 5.7 IF one reloads them.

On broad terms, its' a ".22".

But the velocity 2200 fps causes hydostatic shock rupturing blood vessels. In addition this bullet tends you yaw which can cause a shoulder wound to exit from your ass.

I am conflicted on this. Part of me wants the medicoes to withhold all pain med. I want him in screaming, unimaginable pain. The other part of me wants to give him “Granny’s blue pill”. I’ve evaluated his worth and he does merit treatment. The death panel has spoken.

I’ll echo what you say about morphine. It does all that, plus it lowers blood pressure and in some instances causes migraines.

I have discovered a pain drug which pretty well does the trick: “analsik”. It is a combo drug made up of (about)300mg of methampyrone and 2mg of diazepam. I take it for migraines and has only failed me once.

I don’t know (and suspect not) if it is available in the US.

I didn’t pay attention to this caliber at first but it sheds new light on his planning...

Just as the world marveled at the immediate forgiveness shown by the Amish people in the wake of the murder of their innocent children, I pray the families who have suffered so much will demonstrate that forgiveness - although I know it is so difficult.

Christ said:

But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Matthew 6:15

Proverbs 25: 21-22 says:

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat; if he is thirsty, give him water to drink. In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

I hope we show the international Muslim community that we are better than they are - because America is built upon Judeo-Christian foundations. Those very foundations are holding on with only patch mortar and glue, but they are still there.

Can we imagine the riots, burnings, killings, torture, and mayhem that would have occurred in a Muslim nation if a Christian or Jewish man had murdered and maimed so many Muslim soldiers?

God (the real one) makes us better, because He is true.

May He comfort the families who lost loved ones, and heal the pain of the injured.

By the way, my prediction is that Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, Diane Feinstein, and Chuckie Schumer will attempt turn the debate away from Muslim murderers in our midst, and towards gun control.

They call for a banning of this caliber, semiautomatic handguns, and more gun laws.

This gives them political cover, changes the subject, fills them with false righteous indignation, and allows them an excuse to grab even more unconstitutional power.

Mark my words.

I never said it’s not lethal, just that it is possible that with conventional hollow point pistol rounds, more of the wounded would have been fatalities. I’ll be interested to hear more about the wound that passed though both the hero-cop’s thighs.

The families might want to hear the answers. And we ALL need to be reminded what Islam can lead to.


Fixed it.

Fanaticism is not just about Islam.

I tell ya', if Chuckie Schumer et al even make a squeak about gun control after an attack like this on unarmed citizens, and military no less, there ought to be an immediate 50 million Man/Woman March on Washington to take care of this once and for all. . .

Jehovah’s witness fanatics annoy you by knocking on the door and wanting to give you the Watchtower.

Mormon fatanics annoy you by bicycling around wearing black pants, white shirts and ties.

Scientologist fanatics annoy you by existing.

Muslims (aka “fanatics”) have been busily destroying lives and cilivizations since 700AD nonstop.

One of these is not like the others.

Hassan’s one man (so far that we know of, he most like had supporters who knew his plans and allowed him to remain in his position in the military) jihad is NOT about “fanaticism”.

It is about “Islam”.

It can also make it so if you don’t hurl, whatever went through the GI won’t go out the other end either. I think that’s where the phrase “s**ing a brick” came from. AFAIK all opiates do this (at least to some people).

Last year I took a carbine course with a guy who used the 5.7x28 carbine. He was getting good accuracy out to 200 and 300 yards but the little rounds weren’t doing much against the reactive steel targets, even at close range. He complained that the trigger was spongy, though.

To me, ballistically, it’s not much more than a rimfire 22 magnum. I don’t see the big deal. You could be firing 5.56mm through a similar sized carbine.
