Do you think that the 5.7x28mm will take off?

Went to FN site today and read up on it.

It would be the shiznick in a MP5.  Though I'm sure HK has already figured that out.

Quoted:
Yes.  It still penetrates Kevlar from the pistol...50 layers I believe.

Basically, if you're not LE/Mil, you caon't get this round.

Get a contender in 220 swift or a 22/250 if you want to defeat kevlar with a handgun and be legal!

If I really have to carry a high speed smallbore highly penetrative pistol round, I'll get an old Bushmaster or a Carbon-15 in .223.  OK, not small pistols, but they'll whomp the 5.7x28, and they make almost as much sense.
