oh, I can just SEE some anti-gun freaks cringing at this one!!

 

[hksigwalther]

The ammo of which, of course, is made out of unonbtainium.

FN won't sell these to anyone but military and law enforcement, because of the AP ammo. I've fired one at a demo, but it didn't really impress me; I'd much rather have the P90, it's bigger brother. They both work off of a weird delayed blowback system that needs a special waxy coating on the case to make it work properly.

 

[NINE]

Nasty lil' piece of work... not much to look at but, good god! 20 rounds of AP 5.7mm!!

 

[denfoote]

SDC is right. You will never see it in a gun store case!! A creep named Chris Dodd, or was it Ted Kennedy, saw to that back in 1968!!!!!

Timmy, can you say, "over-penetration?"

I'd love to own one though. Way waaaaaaaaay cool!

 

[Apeach]

Those are pretty cool, and I love the mag capacity. But, I've been wondering if it's really worth it to have all those little bullets. So I have to ask, about how much power would one of those put into a target compared to a 9mm?

 

[lonegunman]

This is a solution in search of a problem...

personally, I think I will stay with 7 rounds of 45 ACP.

 

[lochaber]

5.7mm ruled as "non-sporting" by the ATF so you wont see one in civilian hands. At least not legaly.

Looks like a pretty trick .22. With those projectiles darn near any .22 and for shure the .22 mag would penetrate the same stuff. Limit the mag capacity to ten rounds for citizens and we have yet another plinker to join the ranks of Woodsmen, Rugers etal.

Neat idea but highly, highly specialized. It's sort of like owning a flamethrower, cool but what the heck would you do with it?

 

[John Marshall]

20 little bitty bullets going real fast and it's butt ugly too. It can't lose.

 

[magnum_force]

This is a pocket assault rifle.

 

[Daedalus]

Why can't we get the Fourty Nine?

 

[HankB]

Why can't we get the Fourty Nine?

I've seen 'em. Wasn't impressed.

 

[Zundfolge]

The FiveseveN has one use - dropping JBTs as they kick in your door.

This is why they don't sell them to civies and the ammo is classified "Agency Only" by the ATF... they won't even sell these to individual agents or officers, but only to agencies.

If you want to see how the FiveseveN and P-90 handle in a simulated environment, and you own a copy of Unreal Tournament, go download Infiltration

Although, personaly I prefer the HK MP5/40A3 to the P-90 (but both are cool with a surpressor).


You can legaly buy the FourtyNine, but keep in mind the thing has a 10lb trigger!
