FN's newest contribution the handgun's evolution is named the Five-seveN . This 20round pistol fires a 5.7mm bullet that will defeat most body armor in military service around the world today. Essentially, the Five-seveN represents a quantum leap forward in the handgun's suitablity for close engagements by delivering the type of performance that was previously confined to rifles or carbines. Elements of this performance include:

High magazine capacity: The FiveseveN comes standard with 20round magazine. High stopping power: The FiveseveN fires the 5.7x28mm SS190

seveN fires the 5.7x28mm SS190 Ball round which reliably penetrates Kevlar helmets and vests as well as CRISAT protection. High hit probability: The FiveseveN's extremely low recoil impulse results in virtually no muzzle climb, thereby facilitating fast and controllable follow-up shots. Yet, the Five-seveN is:

Light and ergonomic: Weighing 30% less than most 9mm pistols, the smoothlycontoured Five-seveN is comfortable to carry and quick to deploy. Fully safe: Due to its double-action firing mechanism, the Five-seveN offers no inherent risk of accidental discharge during transportation. Furthermore, all of its safety devices are automatically reengaged following each firing cycle. The Five-seveN fires the SS190 5.7x28mm ball round. This projectile will perforate any individual protection on today's battlefield including the PASGT kevlar helmet, 48 layers of kevlar body armor and the CRISAT target (titanium and kevlar). The SS190's conventional design allows it to be manufactured on existing production lines, and its leadfree composition eliminates range contamination.
