Why hasn't 5.7 replaced 9mm? It's expensive, but any cartridge is expensive before people buy it and economy of scale kicks in.
Korvo please never ask a question in here again
u too
smh
Benefits over 9mm are basically inconsequential @Red Korvo
@franknotcreep I thought it could penetrate armor and was smaller? Are those things just not considered important for the average person? I guess it's not terribly important for self defence 95% of the time.
Penetrating armor is basically a non issue even militarily
Actually a non issue for civilian self defense
Especially especially from a side arm
Like if you shooting at armored niggas with a handgun you are done already
Does 5.56 and the like negate the need for another cartridge that can penetrate armor?
We haven't fought opponents who could afford body armor ever
And the SOP for if you see some nigga in a vest is shoot him the the groin/pelvis
black out his legs tarkov style
Basically
Like pistols are basically irrelevant on the military side
Like the army adopting those garbage ass Sigs basically proves it
But if they mattered they wouldn't have gone with the cheapest option
Makes sense.
Have you seen literally any organized military group of any size adopt anything in 5.7 on a large scale? No.

Not really

Like the whole 5.7 and 4.8 pdw memes were cuz nato was like oh shit nigga the comie paratroopers got body armor bro and our truck drivers got 1911s n shit
well they were afraid of soviet surplus armor being sold off to taliban niggas
The were worried about behind the line niggas getting run up on by parachute dudes
The whole "pdw caliber" thing (and SMGs as a whole) has essentially been negated by the proliferation of short ARs.
No, and I was asking why given that it can penetrate armor when fired out of a pistol with a magazine as large as some rifles.
🤔
Na the OG development was for commies @gooks
5.7 was made in the late 90s
🤔
Like the development request came from nato pre fall of the ussr
Essentially, why have a sig MPX when you can have an MCX?
