  "...so that's what we did."  And that is why I love watching videos from Chris and Lucky Gunner.  Outstanding work, as always.

  For me, there is just one thing that matters between these 2 rounds.<br><br>One is rimfire, and the other is center fire. I do not agree with letting my life depend on a rimfire cartridge.

  &quot;If you don&apos;t consider the only thing that makes 5.7 compelling then it&apos;s not compelling&quot;

  I don&apos;t understand all the debate about it. All the testing proves it&apos;s not as good as the rifles rounds it shouldn&apos;t be compared too, but that it is(arguably) as good as the handgun round it was designed to replace, while holding more rounds, having less recoil, and being flatter shooting.<br><br>Edit:<br>A few people are confused in the comments so, just to clarify, the round it was meant to replace was 9mm ball ammo from the late 80s, not modern day hollow points. I thought that would be understood, my bad.

  NATO: make us a round that penetrate armor but doesn&apos;t over penetrate a human body. it&apos;s for hostage situations.<br>FN: got you fam 😏👉<br>FBI: why doesn&apos;t this penetrate deep enough?<br>FN: cuz i didn&apos;t make it for you for every situation every human might ever face 🤔🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

  The 5.7 penetrates soft body armor. Has good wound cavity. Does not over penetrate so bystanders won&apos;t get hit. has a softer recoil than 9mm. You can have 50 rounds available. Sounds like a great home defense round.

  The video poster said it all in ONE sentence-&quot;These rounds are only comparable if we use a 22 magnum rifle vs a 5.7 handgun.&quot; DAMN. That&apos;s saying more than enough.

  Those are poor velocities on the neutered Gold Dot. They made it a 4 petal design &nbsp;and slowed it way down. I wish FN wouldn&apos;t control the overall performance of these loads and slow them down to appease political tensions..

  I don’t know why I care so much about 5.7
