Five-SeveN and the 5.7x28 cartridge

[edit]

The handgun known as the "Five-SeveN" was, indeed, designed around the 5.7x28mm cartridge. Unlike weapons like the Glock or a Mac the Five-SeveN was never conceived of outside of the context of the round that it fires. It was made to compliment the P90 'PDW' and to be marketed to security forces to compliment the purchase of the P90. In other words, FN created the Five-SeveN entirely because they wanted to sell the P90 to NATO as the PDW of choice. Obtaining that contract was the reason they created the handgun, and the gun is very different from other handguns because of that, as opposed to having peculiar characteristics for the sake of being innovative.

IMHO you cannot discuss the gun without first discussing the 5.7x28mm cartridge.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by W3bj3d1 (talk • contribs) 22:39, 2006 August 8 (UTC)

You have already stated the cartridge connection in the first paragraph. All remaining goes under Development and History. This is not a sales brochure. Wonderactivist (talk) 10:07, 22 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

1,510 m?

[edit]

What is this "Maximum range - 1,510 m"? Five-seveN has maximum range of 1510 m (fifteen ten/one thousand five hundred and ten) or one meter and 510 (1,510 m)? Tekogi (talk) 10:19, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

One thousand five hundred and ten (obviously). Commas are used per the Wikipedia MOS. ROG5728 (talk) 18:58, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Think of the comma as a period with a tail on the end. --PixieDragon (talk) 07:31, 20 June 2014 (UTC)--[reply]

Change title to FN Five-seveN

[edit]

Five-seveN is the official name to the gun, so lets just change the name from Five-seven to Five-seveN Rzzor (talk) 18:37, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Trademarks advises against using stylised capitalisation, even if it is the official name. Loafiewa (talk) 18:54, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
