It’s a pre NATO round. It was invented by the Germans before the First World War.


9x19mm is a standard NATO pistol round.

Thanks.

I doubt it would replace the 9mm, because it's so popular, but yes, it has great penetration on soft armor, and the Ruger-57 could really change that market, as well as the KelTec P-50. Combine that with how popular the P-90 already is and you have a sizable market, but I doubt enough to unseat the 9mm.


5.7mm needs to have decent post-penetration effects on soft-tissue to even come close to threatening 9mm. As it stands a 9x19mm HP round does allot more than 5.7mm does. Fudds will tell you otherwise, by 9mm kills perfectly fine. Then you have a whole list of other drawbacks to 5.7mm that 9x19mm doesn't have.

It was intended to replace carbines and pistols issued to truck drivers because they would have to fire at Soviet SoF dudes ambushing them in West Germany. Said Soviet SoF would be kitted in heavy body armor that 9x19mm wouldn't be effective against, and giving every truck driver an M16A2 would be to much because its 1m~ long. P90's advantage is its small and carries 50-rounds in a single magazine, giving said truck driver allot of bullets to shoot. Same with the pistol, allot of bullets to shoot over the standard 7/8+1 of .45ACP or 15+1 or whatever flavor of 9x19mm pistol you use.

That 5.7x28 was developed to begin with for NATO's benefit and it had NATO trials, similar to how 5.56x45mm came about so all of the NATO militaries could get behind a common rifle caliber for logistical purposes if warring against Soviet Union and its allies during Cold War in Europe. Someone said there aren't pistols in civilian market firing NATO rounds and the FN Five Seven came to mind for me.

That time a gun owner had a cookoff of a round for a minute and a half where he broke open the shotgun tried strking it a couple more times and then put it down on a table before it going off and hitting him while he was getting off his chair (thankfully the firearm was pointed down range.) forgot if he broke a rule or two.

You’re a Canadian right?

The Nova Scotia shooting didn’t have a single “aSsAuLt RiFlE” used during the whole thing.

E: Above part was wrong in that the shooter had a couple of semi-auto rifles with him, but the Canadian government seems to be pretty stingy on the details roughy now, and he also has multiple handguns within as well.

Still, Nevertopia, you literally have no idea what the hell youre talking about.

I don't really know if a semiautomatic magazine fed rifle was used or not in the incident or if any video footage exists. If any does, the RCMP quickly kept it in the dark from what I've read. I couldn't even find definitive answers on what weaponry was used. The attack just wasn't live broadcasted to the internet for posterity like the New Zealand attack was. So nobody really knows asides from some people really involved.

Supposedly, the shooter had an AR-15 equivalent and a Ruger Mini-14 included in his arsenal.

From everything I’ve seen so far the entire attack was done with handguns.

E: So again I can’t find anything that says the rifles he had were used in the attacks. Regardless they where smuggled in from the US so a firearms ban wouldn’t have stopped this shooting, and Nevertopia’s post is still dumb.

Pretty easy, although you're better off starting with a casting, since that's what the design intended for.

You can also router a lower out from a few blocks of wood and laminate them together.
Buttstock geometry would need to be modified, ofc,

For sure. The right materials are important.

Originally being designed to be casted would actually make sense. Easier for mass production.

Plywood lower with a 50 bmg upper
For casting you can make your own green casting sand. Pretty easy ingredients. Silica sand, Bentonite Clay, and synthetic 2 cycle motor oil.

That’s awesome, and I didn’t realize that was possible. I think I could build a lower out of wood easier then I could machine one out of aluminium. I don’t have much experience with metalwork, but I’m a fair carpenter.
