That guy has several comparison videos on youtube. They are pretty cool. I just wish he compared the loads using a fiveseven to the ruger p89 he used so it was a little bit more fair of a comparison. Handgun vs handgun rather than carbine vs handgun.

the 2x6's that he shot with the PS90 were angled. This would have made them more difficult to penetrate. Kind of like sloped armor.

I agree that he should have used the FsN. However, it was interesting to see the SS197 penetrate that wood.

I wasn't sure if they were angled or the ends were cut straight.

Thanks for putting it up. Now to sniff out more! :thumb:

The PS90 board did look as if it had fallen over to an angle.

The board may have fallen over, but it's still a kind of neat demo.

Not bad, but I agree with amc31b, it would been better to see a pistol vs. pistol comparison.

Though it could have been done in a more controlled environment/process it proves that the 5.7 is capable.

9mm ball is a good penetrator, but I not as good as that ss197.

You sure about that? I've had 9mm ball go thru a small tree before but the 197's didnt. Of course I didnt analyze the tree to check for grain, knots or anything else :p Just saw where the 9 was going thru

Maybe I spoke too soon

the ss190 and s4 superraptor are good penetrators.

I agree with stg2ahn... It should have been done in a more controlled environment

Excuse me for plinkin' :p I wasn't trying for anything more than hitting a target. But, maybe I'll try something next time I'm out the range. Now you got me curious

So many variables, like the angle of the boards and what not.
Who cares when you got 50 rds in a ps90..
