The other thing the VPC and Brady people are trying to demonize is the FN 5.7 mm with its "armor piercing cop killer bullets".
With a bullet weight of just 40 grains and Muzzle Energy of just 313 foot pounds, less than the 323 foot pounds of a typical 115 grain fmj 9mm round and well short of the 434 foot pounds of a 125 gran 9mm+p JHP corbon bullet, the 5.7 "Duty Round" may penetrate armor but lacks adequate stopping power for personal defense. With a very flat trajectory it would probably make a great target pistol though.
The other thing it has going for it is a 20 round magazine - and a price tag of only $1230.24!
