I will statistically disagree... the 5.7 with civilian ammo sucks... The US of A has been at War most of our lives-
With Some exceptions for the older folks- Gulf One about 1 year
Gulf 2- 17 years....
The 5.7 was introduced in 1990-
It has a great purpose- delivering 3-7 rounds to the brain of a terrorist from a very compact machine gun.
Look at the FBI stats- the 5.7 does not stop people... especially with the pistol/ civilian ammo
The diameter is too small- too small for significant blood loss 5MM vs 9,10 or 11
It's and Ice Pick that does not allow for great blood volume loss
Its small and does not break bones- the physical structure like the heavier 115-230 grain of 9,40,45
Nerve disruption of the body- the 5.56/223 sucks under 2200 FPS. The temporary cavity goes away under this speed. The 5.7 is too slow to give rifle like damage from a handgun.
FBI and the military have stats on the 5.7... in the real world, the round is anemic vs. 9MM
If not, police are fleeing the .40 for 9mm- holds more.... less recoil
If the 5.7 Worked in terminal ballistics.... It would be the #1 gun for the NYPD spray and prey division
Mind you- I don't want to get shot with a 22 short, let alone your 5.7
