[QUOTE="500grains, post: 253047"] Dog? That is Michelle. David Axelrod put that muzzle on her so that she doesn't cause any more trouble by talking to the press. Some ballistic snippets I just found: 1. 2. 3. 4. Human shot with 5.7x28 (note: not a one shot kill.) 5. some ballistics for 5.7 x 28 Bullet Type: JHP Lead Free Weight of Projectile: 28 gr. Muzzle Velocity: P90 (2132 fps) - Five-seveN (1890 fps) Muzzle Energy: P90 (282 ft-lbs) – Five-seveN (222 ft-lbs) Bullet Type: V-Max Ballistic Tip Weight of Projectile: 40 gr. Muzzle Velocity: Five-seveN (1650 fps) Muzzle Energy: Five-seveN (242 ft-lbs) 6. 22 magnum for comparison Bullet Type: HP Weight of Projectile: 40 gr. Muzzle Velocity: rifle (1875 fps) Muzzle Energy: rifle (312 ft-lbs) 7. 223 for comparison Bullet Type: V-Max Weight of Projectile: 55 gr. Muzzle Velocity: rifle (3240 fps) Muzzle Energy: rifle (1282 ft-lbs) 8. My conclusion after some reading: It seems the advantages of the 5.7 x 28 are (a) ability to penetrate body armor, (b) ability to penetrate car doors, (c) large magazine capacity (50 rds), (d) low recoil for controllable full auto fire, (e) short rifle length for maneuverability, easy to get in/out of vehicles. On the other hand, the 5.7 would seem a bit weak on stopping power, according to our traditional measures, and is roughly comparable to a 22 magnum on paper. Thanks for all your comments. [/QUOTE]
