Description
The FN Herstal 5.7×28mm refers to the specialized high‑velocity cartridge developed by the Belgian manufacturer FN Herstal in the late 1980s. Designed originally for military and law enforcement applications, the 5.7×28mm round was created to offer a lightweight, high‑speed alternative to traditional handgun calibers.
The cartridge is known for its small diameter, high velocity, and relatively low recoil, allowing for flat trajectory and controllable shooting characteristics. It was introduced alongside FN platforms such as the P90 personal defense weaponand later the FN Five‑seveN pistol, both engineered specifically around this cartridge.
Because of its unique design and performance profile, the 5.7×28mm occupies a niche between traditional pistol and small rifle cartridges. Today, it is used in select military, law enforcement, and civilian sporting contexts, and remains one of the more distinctive modern cartridge developments in recent decades.
Very Good Condition. Must carry for winter with extra clothing and layered shirts. Powerful enough to go through almost any clothing worn.
