I sat through a few lectures from trauma surgeons talking about bullet wounds, calibers and lethality. These are the guys actually seeing the results of live humans getting shot and trying to save their lives. It came up multiple times that energy does NOT mean lethality in pistol calibers. Its all about location and the trauma to that location. The boring (but true) answer is that the sweet spot for that is a 9mm hollow point. Any other pistol caliber more powerful than the 9mm works fine too, but is a bit overkill for a human in the great majority of cases. This is why police, military and special forces primarily use 9mm.
All the videos I’ve seen of 5.7 leads me to believe it’s not a very effective round. The only video I saw that made it look good was shooting into clay. When shooting into ballistics gel vs any other pistol caliber its performance seems incredibly lackluster. Paul Harrel shooting through meat targets came to the same conclusion. The only pro I can say for sure is that you get a lot of ammo. I think you’re going to need it
Well I seen them at the rang shooting steel plates and what turned me off is that the 5.7 couldn't knock the plates down and it was sold hits and it was worse on the tree couldn't hit it hard enough to push it to the other side
@@REALSTREETNIGGAMUZIK asked the people that survive the Fort Hood shooting. He had a 44 magnum revolver and the FN 5.7 pistol. Everyone that got hit with the 44 die and most of the people that got hit with the 5.7 survived but was injured real badly
@@TheRealZJM377 When was the last time steel plates or a tree attacked you? No FMJ 9mm, 45, 357 are going to be any good for self defense. They'll likely get your neighbor too.
@user-wu2xo9yf5b considering I've lived here for 20 years I'm well aware what's past my target considering I own that land. I'm so ett up with common sense I can share some with you!

Thank you
Great video
I prefer the small and fast with all the extra rounds ta-boot
And really low recoil
Cogent point. Follow ups with my FiveSeven make me look like Jerry Miculek.

How many you think you can take and survive?

@@REALSTREETNIGGAMUZIK more than every other standard caliber.

45-то тяжелее и дороже.
5.7 usually runs a little more expensive around here than 45. Haven't checked the prices lately though.
Use common sense! Beware of your target & what's past it

5.7 cost more here In the US

Wow, in the frozen jugs that 45 busted right thru
Paul Harrell clearly shows that 5.7 doesn’t compare to REAL calibers
Stand in front of it then
@@robertgallegos9359😂Fr people are so stupid
@@robertgallegos9359 I wouldn't want to stand in front of a .25 ACP but it doesn't mean it's the best choice for defense.

Wow!!! You are dumb...
