The 5.7x28mm (sometimes called FN 5.7x28mm) is a personal defense weapon cartridge developed by Fabrique Nationale. It is one of the three armor-piercing rounds of the game, characterized by relatively low base power but low drop of performance as the target armor class increases. It is considered a low-tier caliber.

Real-life data

Developed by Fabrique Nationale alongside the weapons it was conceived for, the 5.7x28mm is an original and innovative caliber, developed for SMG-sized weapons for crews and personnel who can't use an assault or carbine rifle, yet need better firepower than that provided by submachine guns. It was developed in response to NATO's demand for creation of a personal defense weapon class of firearm, specifically for use in the FN P90 PDW and the associated handgun, the FN Five-seveN.

The bullet's conception, made of penetrating steel with a plastic polymer tip, is close to that of standard 5.56x45mm NATO, making it easy to produce as it can be made on the same production lines than those used for the rifle caliber. The cartridge showed superior performance to 9x19mm Parabellum - it is twice lighter, faster, and has a much flatter trajectory, and of course has armor-piercing capabilities.

This is a direct competitor to Heckler & Koch's 4.6x30mm, which likewise responded to NATO's demand by creating their own PDW caliber and weapons.

-As one of the naturally armor-piercing calibers of the game, 5.7x28mm has the property of having a flatter damage curve than other calibers of comparable power.
+* Available for purchase in a [[gun shop]] or a [[weapon shop]], in boxes of '''50''' or '''100''' rounds
-This property is an undeniable positive point; 5.7x28mm will punch through up to Kevlar-2 resistance with quasi similar efficiency - notable drops in performance only begin once the target has Kevlar-3 and better armor class. However, it is definitely not an offensive cartridge and is better used as a finisher or defensively.

-.7x28mm ammunition is rare, fitting only in two weapons of the game, the [[fn p90|P90]] and [[fn five seven|Five-seveN]] both made by '''Fabrique Nationale'''.
