The 5.7 is a another discussion itself.
Many don't like or see the need for it. Some claim that with the standard 5.7 ammo it's no different than a 22 magnum. I have been told that the 5.7 was used in a recent hostage situation in Europe with very good results. However, I don't know how many rounds it took or if the FN pistol or rifle was used.
I came real close to buying one but didn't see a need for it.
