So what's the general consensus on the FN Five-seveN?

Not open for further replies.
I haven't heard anything from the admins, and I have had some requests via PM for the photos I mentioned documenting the use of the FiveseveN against humans so.... here we go.

Here is a Youtube video discussing the mata policias (cop killer) and an unfortunate victim.

Here are a few photos of FiveseveN seizures.

Notice the majority of the rounds in the photos are 197 (the "weakest" factory load). An occasional 195 pops up as well but mostly 197 is used. No reports of SS190 (military round) have been found. So it can be safely surmised that all of the carnage in the following pictures was done by factory rounds.

Entrevistado ayer al llegar a sus oficinas, confió en que la PGR se hará cargo de la investigación y de otros dos asesinatos perpetrados con un arma de uso exclusivo del Ejército. "Está acreditado el vínculo, de acuerdo con el resultado de las pruebas periciales, que existe en el uso de una misma arma, una pistola marca FN Herstal, calibre 5.7 por 28 milímetros, con otros dos homicidios."

Brief translation: Evidence linked a single Five-seveN to three separate homicides (one of which was a double homicide in which a couple was killed).

Top cop in Agua Prieta killed in hail of bullets

AGUA PRIETA, Sonora — This border city’s top-ranking public safety official, a man who had won praise for his aggressive anti-crime efforts, was shot and killed Monday by a group of unknown assailants.

According to official reports, Ramon Tacho Verdugo, Agua Prieta’s secretary of public safety, was ambushed as he and a bodyguard left his office shortly after 5 p.m.

The attackers reportedly fired at least 40 rounds at Tacho Verdugo, striking him three times before speeding away in two sport utility vehicles. He died two hours later a local hospital, city attorney Pedro Manzo Ibarra said at a press conference late Monday.

Tacho Verdugo’s bodyguard was able to return fire during the assault, and police later discovered one of the getaway vehicles abandoned with bullet holes in its windshield and hood, and with bloodstains in its interior.

A long-barrel machine gun was also reportedly found in the vehicle, and police recovered shell casings at the scene of the shooting that they say came from an AR-15 assault-style rifle.

The bullets that killed Tacho Verdugo, however, were reportedly fired from a Belgian-made FN Herstal 5.7 USG, a submachine gun known in Mexico as a “mata-policias,” or “police-killer.”

Original:

Un sujeto que presuntamente era policía estatal fue ejecutado la mañana de ayer en el fraccionamiento Cañales primera etapa para sorpresa de vecinos del lugar que oyeron disparos a temprana hora.

El infortunado hombre fue hallado sobre la calle Miel, entre las manzanas 6 y 7, en un auto Chevy Rojo con placas de circulación WPH-6810, en el asiento del conductor y con la puerta abierta pero casi recostado y bañado en sangre.

Sobre la calle sólo fue hallado un casquillo percutido, de un arma de grueso calibre, de esas llamadas “Mata-Policías”; en tanto el auto se encontraba con el motor encendido.


Translation:

A man who was apparently a state trooper was killed yesterday morning in the Cañales division first stage, to the surprise of locals who heard gunshots in the early hours.

The unfortunate man was found on Honey Street between 6 and 7, in a red Chevy car with license plate WPH-6810, in the driver's seat and the door was open but he was leaning over and covered in blood.

On the street was only found a spent shell casings from a heavy caliber weapon, the kind called "cop killer," and the car still had the engine running.

Otherwise, Dm, NATO was looking at a PDW, not a handgun. A sidearm was an add-on. The FN Five seveN nor did performance out of the pistol serve as the determining factor.

And, dude, you are sick.

Wrong again.

NATO specified a PDW-caliber pistol, as well as a shoulder-fired PDW, from the beginning. The pistol was not an after-thought.
 
No, you are wrong.
The performance criteria was focused on the PDW. The pistol was to fire the same round. In the past, the pistol round determined the subgun, the PDW's predecessor. NATO sought the other way around, a PDW better than a subgun that would determine the side arm that could be used in conjunction with the PDW. Performance out of the PDW was the presiding concern. The whole purpose was to have commonality of ammo, with the PDW's performance being paramount.

And, the concern was so great that NATO, a decade later, still has not gone that route. It has, however, adopted new 9mm pistol models in the mean time, including the CZ75 Compact known here as the P01.

You're still wrong. The weapons were to be developed in conjunction with each other (which is what FN did), and there was no focus on one or the other in the requirements outlined by NATO. The purpose of the PDW was to give better range and firepower than a 9mm pistol, in a shoulder-fired package; the purpose of the PDW-caliber pistol was to do the same thing in a smaller package, for those who couldn't carry a P90 at all times. For example, Belgian Air Force pilots adopted the Five-seveN, not the P90, because it meets their needs better.



The whole purpose was to have commonality of ammo, with the PDW's performance being paramount
Utterly false. That is a complete fabrication on your part. NATO outlined size, weight, capacity, and performance characteristics for PDW-caliber pistols, just like they did for the shoulder-fired PDWs.



And, the concern was so great that NATO, a decade later, still has not gone that route.
See above, where it was explained to you that NATO would have replaced the 9x19mm with the 5.7x28mm by now, if not for Germany/HK and the 4.6x30mm stalling the process. That is established fact.

And, still, it has not. Tisk tisk.

And, the handgun was in conjunction with the PDW, performance of the ammo was most important out of the PDW. Of course NATO established criteria. That changes nothing nor is a fabrication.
 
The statistics involving this round show its on par with other handgun calibers in terms of how effective they are.
Actually, there haven't been enough shootings with this round to determine how effective it is when compared to the 9mm Para, the ,40 S&W, and the ,45ACP

I would like proof of this statement because it sounds like a load of BS, Level IV body armor is made to stop armor piercing .30-06, i highly doubt that any handgun can penetrate that and definitely not both the front and back.

I don't really want to get into providing documentation about armor piercing capabilities beyond what I have stated for obvious reasons. The gun already has a bad enough reputation.

I will say this, there are FiveseveN rounds that will penetrate Level IIIa armour (both sides) INCLUDING a Level IV SAPI .308 ceramic plate AFTER THE FIRST SHOT. The Level IV plate will stop the first shot but after that it is like a hot knife through butter. Triple taps with tight groups are no biggie with the 5.7 pistol. You do the math...
 
One would think that the FiveseveN is the standard issue sidearm for the drug lords there. Where are they getting all those guns from extactly?

This is incorrect. It was the other way around. Mark Wilson was behind a vehicle shooting at the killer wearing body armor. He hit the killer several times with his .45 ACP carry pistol, and it had no effect. The killer advanced on Wilson and one of his bullets dropped him; he then came around the side of the vehicle and executed Wilson there.

I was just going by what I read from a Mas Ayoob article a few years ago. I figured that I could have been wrong.

Actually, there haven't been enough shootings with this round to determine how effective it is when compared to the 9mm Para, the ,40 S$W, and the ,45AVP

About 30% of people shot actually die, FiveseveN met this. I didn't want to bring it up but the Hassan shooting did show this.

And, dude, you are sick.

How? Is everyone that works in a morgue sick? What about homicide detectives?

Actually, there are dozens upon dozens of shootings with 5.7x28mm every year (most of them in Mexico). The round performs every bit as well as any of the common pistol calibers like the 9mm.

I think the "not enough data" statement is a bit disengenous. I've heard [I'm sure someone knows the documentation] that the .22lr has killed many people. It is, in no way, the potency of the 5.7X28.

They are getting them from everyone and anyone. The current street price for a FiveseveN in Mexico is 5,000 U.S. At that markup, there are probably more than a handful of unscrupulous dealers willing to toss a few over the border for the gangs. That's probably a better markup than selling drugs. How many are willing to illegally sell drugs in America?

Another question to ask, why are they worth so much to the Mexican gangsters when I'm sure they could buy a 9mm or .45 for much less? Perhaps the photos I previously submitted might offer a clue?
 
Level IV is going to be a "See it to believe it deal" I think.

I'll give ya level II though.

Hell, Level II can be penetrated by factory ammo; I think the old SS192 penetrates Level II. Level IIIa is penetrated by EA ammunition - of which I own plenty. It used to be on Youtube but I think they removed the videos for obvious reasons.

The ammo I mentioned penetrating a Level IV ceramic trauma plate and then Level IIIa (after the first shot) is highly restricted for LEO and Military only. While this ammo isn't illegal for civilians (I don't believe), it is highly restricted from the manufacturer and tracked. If a certified buyer is found to have sold it to a civilian, they are banned from further purchases.

This ammo is the nasty of the nasty and probably isn't appropriate for civilians as I doubt any common criminals will be lugging around Level IV in the near future. The application of this ammo is mostly for penetrating barriers (in a big way). The ammo that I have is almost as good as this stuff so I am not jealous... well... I would still love to have some of this "secret" stuff. :D
 
My understanding is that its illegal to import ammo to sell to civilians for handguns but once its here its free game.
 
About 30% of people shot actually die, FiveseveN met this. I didn't want to bring it up but the Hassan shooting did show this.
30% died? Maybe so, but we don't know how quickly those who were shot stopped their aggressive acts and ceased to be a threat.
So we still don't know how effective the five-seven is as a combat handgun.

I think the "not enough data" statement is a bit disengenous. I've heard [I'm sure someone knows the documentation] that the .22lr has killed many people. It is, in no way, the potency of the 5.7X28.
Yes the .22LR has killed many people....and it still sucks as a combat/self defense handgun caliber.
The .22 has a dismal reputation for quickly stopping aggressive humans.
And quickly stopping the target is what it's all about.
It does me no good at all if my attacker dies several hours later in the ER, from being shot with a .22, only after he has bashed my head in with a baseball bat.

Actually, there are dozens upon dozens of shootings with 5.7x28mm every year (most of them in Mexico). The round performs every bit as well as any of the common pistol calibers like the 9mm.
Dozens upon dozens....

The 9mm Para and the .45ACP have been proven in hundred of thousands of shootings, if not millions of shootings.
And the .40S&W has been proven effective in thousands of shootings.

"Dozens" of shootings just doesn't cut the mustard when it comes to being proven effective a combat/self-defense caliber.
 
30% died? Maybe so, but we don't know how quickly those who were shot stopped their aggressive acts and ceased to be a threat.
We do; everyone that was killed in the incident immediately stopped their actions. Two of the Fort Hood victims (1 soldier, 1 civilian) actually charged the shooter with chairs, but both were shot and died before they could reach him.

The heroine female police officer (Munley) was also intent on stopping the shooter but by all reports, she was incapacitated (and nearly died) by her leg wounds. The 5.7x28mm bullet shattered her femur into "hundreds of bone fragments" according to her personal comments on her blog, as well as other news sources. According to her blog, she subsequently underwent a complete knee replacement operation and she won't be able to do patrol work anymore.

http://sgtmunley.blogspot.com/

"I was given a second chance at life. I was also fortunate to not lose my leg. The awesome surgeons were able to do an arterial graph and repair my femoral artery. But for a couple of days, there were unsure about the outcome and if I was going to be able to keep my leg at all."

"I stay in a lot of pain because the bottom of my femor is blown into hundreds of bone fragments that are pushed into my muscle tissue and until the surgery, they will not be removed."




The .22 has a dismal reputation for quickly stopping aggressive humans.
"Reputation" (i.e. hearsay) is utterly irrelevant.



The 9mm Para and the .45ACP have been proven in hundred of thousands of shootings
The 9mm and .45 ACP are proven to work well with good shot placement, and they are proven to work very, very poorly with poor shot placement. Actually, the unofficial record for "most gunshot wounds survived" goes to a New York man that was shot 21 times by NYPD with 9mm hollowpoints.

http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/St...ut-With-New-York-Cops/Article/201008215680186

A 23-year-old man has dodged death after being shot 21 times by police during a shoot-out at a New York street party.

<snip>

"I would say more than 20 gunshot wounds is a record," Dr Vincent DiMaio said.

"Of course, the real issue is where you get shot. One bullet can kill you, but believe it or not, a body can survive a lot of bullet wounds."




"Dozens" of shootings just doesn't cut the mustard
Not dozens, but dozens upon dozens of shootings have established that the 5.7x28mm is every bit as effective as the common pistol calibers, even with FN's factory loads (EA's loads are much hotter).

Actually, there are dozens of fatal shootings with the Five-seveN in Mexico alone every year, and it has been that way for several years now. Well over one hundred people have been shot with 5.7x28mm in verifiable cases, and easily over two hundred; the total is probably somewhere between 200 and 300 people shot, as of 2011. When the Mexican Drug War shootings are included in the overall number, the fatality percentage is much higher than 30%.

The 5.7x28mm round hasn't killed as many people, in total, as the ancient 9mm or .45 ACP, of course; but on a case-by-case basis it kills just as often and it is every bit as effective. That has been thoroughly established, at this point.

Such a low number of shooting data wouldn't cut the mustard in even a junior high school stats class.
It's laughable.

"Reputation" (i.e. hearsay) is utterly irrelevant.
So reputation is utterly irrelevant when it comes to the .22LR, but reputation is totally relevant when it comes to the dozens of five-seven shootings in Mexico???

Besides, if you actually think that the .22LR from a handgun is a good self defense caliber then I don't see much point in futher conversation.

None are as blind as those who refuse to see.
