FNH 5.7x28

[C-dub]

I know two folks that started carrying the 5.7 when the drug wars were hot due to it's ability to penetrate a Bullet Resistant Vest.

Only SS198 will penetrate common bullet proof vests like a 3a.

Scratch that. Maybe out of the longer barrel of a ps90 but the five seven, nah...

I couldn't find anything on that page related to this discussion. It was only some kind of BBC news page with links to other stories.

I don't know much about the 5.7 round or the ammo used for it. I was only pointing out that your post and text claiming the SS190 round was AP was flawed because the video itself said the round was SS198. I don't know the difference between the two. Maybe they are both AP.

I'm ignorant when it comes to the 5.7 and embedding videos.......try this, maybe ?I've got it right this time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npaqgBsCxkk

Don't shoot it in an M1, but you can shoot it in commercial rifles. The commercial 30.06 has a heavier chamber area. My dad always told me that AP ammo could cause fractures in the chamber of an M1. I have also read the same, bit don't know for sure as I have never tried it.

New hard-wired air compressor for the shop....or the FNH....decisions, decisions...!

I've owned both and I'd go with the air compressor. I bought a used Champion R15B mounted on an 80 gallon tank with a 5 hp motor. It pushes18.5 CFM at 150 PSI. I paid $198 for a used military one. A new one would set me back $3000.

15-20 years ago it would have been "gun, gun, gun!!" But now I have other priorities...still, I do desire this firearm! Black Friday got the best of me, I will admit, and a massive Milwaukee toolbox somehow got strongarmed into my truck (took 3 of us, heavy puppy!)...and then unloaded into the shop...along with a helping of tools...air compressor is still on the short list....
