Pistolet FN Five-seveN

Five-seveN is a Belgian self-speed caliber 5,7 × 28mm produced by Fabrique Nationale plants - known primarily for classic constructions such as Browning HP, and the bold ones, freshman – like a P90 machine pistol, or new FN-P.

The gun was made to a large extent of polymer - I think the manufacturer made only what the polymer can be done. Because of this the weapon is very light, not loaded, it weighs just over half a kilo (0,63kg), loaded only 0.75kg. With its dimensions in combination with the Five-Seven weight, it seems to be a toy, Of course, appearances are deceptive. Power supply from 20-nabian double-breasted magazines is provided by 5.7mm ammunition with a 2G ogival ogival shell. This cartridge was created specifically for the needs of the weapon creation program *PDW, which was to be characterized by low weight and relatively small dimensions, But at the same time allowing effective destination at a distance of up to 200m - the first *PDW of FH Hestal was the above -mentioned innovative machine pistol FN P90 developed in 1985 year. Smallibular 5.7mm SS190 missiles are above all better punching of ballistic shields than a typical 9mm pistol bullet missile missile, In addition, their speed falls on the flight track slower, and the flight trajectory is flatter. The ability to refute the bullet is to obtain by alleged goat after hitting the target. Why alleged? Because I don't know what to think about it. Shells 5,56 × 45mm NATO was also supposed to "make up" after hitting the target and thus provide a very effective knocking. As we know - it was different. Adam Kropiowski in his article "Why I love the Home Army" wrote: „Emka (AR-15 // ROP rifles. Artur) ma też złą historię – pamiętamy Wietnam i opowieści GI’s o tym jak porzucali „swój szajs” na rzecz chińskich type-56, taken on prisoners of VC. I think, that at least they are partly true stories.” Z braku pewnych danych zmuszony jestem refleksje pozostawić Czytelnikom. However, I suppose, that "classic construction" pistol ammunition (Especially with a special missile) has a better reflection ability. 5,7 This is a good solution for military users fighting various "obstacles" that protect the goal. Good accuracy even at 200m is a advantage, But is it possible to use in practice - in the case of a short weapon? A small jet allows you to quickly cover the enemy with bullets, But this is good again for military applications ... In civil self -defense, you shoot "only as much as you need", A diagram of the "dubelt on the body and one insurer on the head" to put it mildly - it is not welcome. Employment of a 20-new magazine with a barrel facilitated at the attacker is also not a self-defense activity. Apart from the fact, that we will not register this weapon for personal protection, Because we can only register weapons in the caliber range from 6 do 12mm (wg. the amended Act on BIA) It is probably the most important advantages of this construction in civil defense shooting (maybe in addition to weight and a small recoil) would remain unused. Five-seven looks quite coarse, His grip is quite specific and probably not everyone would like it. The weapon was created rather for the outer holster, than for secret transfer.

It works on the basis of a half-shaped lock with a delayed opening.
