That 10mm is one hell of a caliber.

At a gun show a couple of weeks ago I saw a 5 - 7 pistol of some sort. The seller told me that its bullets went through anything, body armor, walls, people. Anybody know if that’s true?

Why was that gun made?

You’re talking about an FN 5.7....yep, it’s a blaster round.

The FN 5-7 isn’t a 10mm. It’s a 5.7mm. Just for the record.

Beyond that, I don’t know much about it. I’ve seen them, I’ve seen brass on the ground at the range, but never fired one.

Because there are times you want to shoot through body armor, walls, people?

Probably not. Well, maybe the people and thin walls. But then most guns can.

The FN 5.7.....so effective that the Secret Service uses it. Almost no recoil with the ballistics of a rifle. Its on my wish list.
