The 5.7 never caught my attention, read a few articles on it when it first came out and all the cops hated it because it would defeat body armor but it didn't interest me.
I've seen some guns similar to this one at gun shows, with the mag on top but I don't know anything about them.
I like standard machine guns, can't even get past the 5.56 caliber but if I ever do, it will be the 6WOA. Though I just bought another 223 upper, it's one I built a few years ago and the guy got a 6WOA, said he'd never need the 223 again, I just don't understand...

I handled an FN PS90 in 5.7x28 a while back. Kinda nifty bullpup, but not my cup o' tea.
My 1st & only bullpup will be a DTA SRS, some day... ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
And f.w.i.w., a .17Predator would most likely penetrate body armor as well. As would most any high velocity projo, Swift, .250 etc...

Get one and you will Tom.
The WOA will shoot flatter, has more surface area, I can’t tell any difference in recoil and knocks the shit out of coyotes.
What’s not to like. Order yourself a barrel, 6.8 SPC bolt/carrier and set yourself free from the 223.

Fred you are correct, body armor won't stop many of the high velocity rounds but the cops don't know it and they threw a fit back when it first came out.
Kelly, I tried, I really did but Don called and I had to buy that 17" Kreiger back from him. I do have an extra 16" Colt light weight that I might swap out though, hmmmm.
More work with the 77's and we'll see. Right now I'm hunting a scope, after the 300 yard egg shoot, my whole concept in glass has changed. But for reference, the B&C reticle works real close to the 77 gr load I'm shooting.

Is this true? Police officers don't know that damned near any rifle cartridge will penetrate the body armor they wear every day? That's pathetic!
I heard that there was a huge uproar when Gordon Liddy suggested, on some radio program that you should aim for the head, if you suspect the other person is wearing body armor. Isn't that obvious? Is it giving up all police officers to being killed by terrorists? Some of this obvious stuff is just hilarious!
So, what is this link showing us? Are we supposed to get a hard on looking at the sexy pictures? What is this 5.7? Is that the RWS cartridge popular in Europe?
Good hunting. LB

Like Knockemdown, I handled an FN PS90 a year or so ago, and while I am fascinated by the idea of a bullpup, I found the thing completely hideous in my hands.
The round is a cool K-Hornet-y lookin' lil thing, and I had to ask what it went in... and thus was handed the PS90.
I love small cars, 125cc racebikes, and reasonably small calibers and cartridges, and I could see immediately that others would find a warm spot for the little round.
No surprise to me that it's become popular.
With this AR57, it's nice to see something a little bit more traditional (than the PS90) from which to launch the little round.

Don't know really...I thought it was something different, and might make a nice plinking round. I figured it would be too light for any type of serious hunting. I haven't priced the ammo though.
Some of the LEOS around here carry it in the P90 form. A buddy of mine and I were shooting up in the woods 2 years ago and they responded with one.
I had to approach them before my buddy did. He has big arms and two full sleeves of tattoos. The local police might have thought he was a biker.

You guys got a shoot on sight order there too? ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Remember, it's "us vs. them" don't let us down now with all we've put into this.
ElBee, I think the uproar was because it was a pistol that could be easily concealed and still defeat BA.

My buddy is on the job too.
My biggest concern was that my son was in the truck, and I didn't want Angelo (my buddy) approaching these two local guys with a gun exposed on his ankle while he was wearing shorts and two sleeves of tattos. Especially after having been dispatched to a call involving shots fired, or a shooting complaint.
Sometimes discretion really is the better part of valor Tom. "Us vs. Them" or not.

I've saw a PS90 at my local hang out(Randall's Firearms) a while back. Having owned a few HKs that gave me trouble, I've lost my love of foriegn guns; and it didn't interest me. Later I saw a guy looking at a tactical red dot type pistol sight at the Sportsmans Warehouse for his pistol that shot that round. He said it was the deadliest pistol round available, and he needed it for his line of work. Knowing that LEOs carry mandated calibers and guns, I immediately wrote him off as a mall ninja.
I guess it has an appeal to some because of its uniqueness for one reason or another, but I'll stick with the more common stuff. Today, if I was going to buy something rather off beat it would probably be a 338 lapua. At the current time the most unique cartridge I own is a 25/06 or 375 H&H. I don't know which one is the most unique, but for me that is as strange as it gets. I really don't see a need for the 5.7 unless one is limiting his hunting to fox. The 5.7 is to much gun for rabbits and too small for coyotes.

I don't know the caliber but I don't think it matters.

The police know it, the gun grabbers use this BS to try and have gun control legislation passed, here is what I read on the "brady bunch's" web site
guns they want banned
all 22 long rifles
because the bullet is small enough in diameter to slip between the seams of body armour
all pistols
to easily concealed
all shotguns
to great of a chance of a killing shot
all sniper rifles
(sniper rifle being any rifle with a telescopic sight) because they make it easier to hit your target at 100 yards and beyond, 100 yards is to far for hunting
any rifle that is capable of firing a metal case or armoured piercing round
the 30/30 winchester, because twice since its inception (in 1892 I might add) police man have been killed with them while wearing body armour)
50 BMG's cause they can be used to shoot down planes.
So if the brady bunch gets their way, that will leave hunters with the 44/40, 32/20, and the 25/20 only if they are loaded to black powder pressures.
Most cops I know know that guns aren't the problem, idiots are the problem.
