was at the local gun emporium today and saw a gun and caliber i've never seen before... a fnh chambered in 5.7x28... counterjockey tells me this is the exact gun that our military and swat teams and such are going to... says he, its more effective than 9mm...
ok, i'm no fan of the 9mm, but somehow, that barrel looked awfully tiny. i asked him if it was like a 22 or 25 - and he say's 'yeah'.
well, neither the 22 or 25 impress me much, either.
still, the gun featured a $900 price tag... and it was all plastic - from the top of the slide to the bottom of the frame. hmm...
so... i'm not sure what i saw today. can someone tell me what an 'fnh' is, and why the 5.7x28 is so great??
i don't mind picking the gun up, and when i asked for ammo, they were out... and w/ no dies, brass, bullets, or data, i elected to wait...
