Comparison of the 5.7x28mm and .22 WMR:
|--------------Weight/Velocity-----------|----------Energy----------|--------Barrel Length----|
SS195 |---------(27 gr @ 2600 fps)----------|--------(420 ft. lbs)------|---------(16 inches)------|
22WMR |--------(40 gr @ 1900 fps)----------|--------(320 ft. lbs)------|---------(24 inches)------|
As seen in the above comparison, the 5.7x28mm is (even out of a shorter barrel) ballistically quite a bit ahead of the .22 WMR despite often being compared to it by skeptics. I calculated the muzzle energies based on the bullet weights and velocities above, using the handy tool in this link.
Take note that the L191 is also often referred to as the "SS191"; similarly, the SB193 is sometimes referred to as the "SS193". As for the velocity of the SS190, SS191, SS192, and SS195 out of the Five-seveN pistol, I have heard individual chronographed figures ranging from less than 2000 fps to 2250 fps, and thus decided to list it in between those at 2100 fps. Regarding visible differences between the SS192 and SS195, the latter has a silver-colored primer while the former does not. I hope this was helpful; thank-you to all who contributed bits of information.

SS190 energies when fired out of the Five-seveN:
Muzzle |-----------(320 ft. lbs)-----------|
50m |-------------(297 ft. lbs)-----------|
100m |------------(227 ft. lbs)-----------|
200m |------------(126 ft. lbs)-----------|
300m |------------(74 ft. lbs)-------------|
400m |------------(58 ft. lbs)-------------|
The numbers came from an FN 5.7mm Weapon System FAQ.

FOR COMPARISON, ALTHOUGH IT'S MISSING THE NEW HOLLOW POINT GREEN TIP SS198 ON THE TOP PIC AND IT'S MISSING SOME ELITE AMMUNITION ON THE BOTTOM PICS....LOL (HINT, HINT :cya: )

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
I chronographed some factory ammo yesterday. For the SS195, I got numbers that are considerably different than what is posted here.
I used a CED chrono with infrared kit. Elevation was 4,400 feet and temperature was 40 degrees F. Chrono was 6 feet away.
10 Shots of SS195LF
1979
1944
1986
1967
1951
1963
1977
1966
1980
1992
Average 1970.5 FPS
That's 129.5 FPS slower than the stated 2100 FPS
10 Shots of SS197SR
1703
1714
1662
1717
1680
1691
1612
1668
1624
1642
Average 1671.3 FPS
That is very close the the stated 1675 FPS
I also noticed that the point of impact at 25 yards is very different between these two rounds. I sighted in using the SS195LF and got 3 shots into a 1" circle. When I switched to the SS197SR I was waaay low.
Hopefully this data helps.

Here are the velocities, projectile weights, and resulting muzzle energies of the 5.7x28mm ammunition types when fired from the P90, PS90, and Five-seveN, along with some other more basic data that people new to the 5.7 should find helpful.
Info Tables for the 5.7x28mm Ammunition
Average penetration depth in 10% ballistic gelatin:
|---------P90-------|---------PS90---------|-----FiveseveN----|
SS190 ---(12 inches)----------------------------------(9 inches)----
SS191 ---(12 inches)----------------------------------(9 inches)----
SS192 ---(12 inches)----------------------------------(9 inches)----
SB193 --------------------------------------------------------------
T194 ----(12 inches)----------------------------------(9 inches)----
SS195 ---(12 inches)----------------------------------(9 inches)----
SS196 ---------------------------------------------------------------
SS197 --------------------------(16 inches)----------(10 inches)---
SS198--------------------------------------------------------------
These are wonderful tables!
Thank you very much, but I wonder is it possible to get graphical images of the ballistic gelatin test for this ammunition as well as the new spectacular Elite Ammunition?
Seeing these ballistic tests visually always give a much better impression on the projectile behavior.
Thank you for the consideration! :drool:

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
On data comparisons. The energy and velocity of the 5.7 at normal pistol ranges compare to that of the rifle 5.56mm at 3-400 yards.
So when people say your shooting a 22mag just refer to the fact the fiveseven is = to a m16 at 300 yards. :thumb:

Is anyone putting all this data together in one place? The Wiki would be great a place to put it. Where is Grant?

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
All the data is in one place...this thread. How may I assist you, DDouglas, was there a solid source you wanted placed within the wiki for just the velocity tables, or round characteristics? Let me know how I can help. Thanks

The white-cased is the Voere caseless round. Propellant is the case.

The kind you can find/afford the most of.Santagata wrote:Which ammo is good for in door range?
One of the reasons the FsN is hard to sight in is that the different ammo has different points of impact (POI) on the target. My recommendation is to use whatever ammo you can get a hold of for practice, just work on your grouping. Then, once that is consistent, sight your gun using the ammo you will carry with.
If you won't be using the gun for defensive carry (i.e. range gun only) then sight for the ammo you would normally use.
For the most part, there are only 3 kinds of factory ammo out there right now - FNH 197 (aka blue tips), FNH 195, and American Eagle FMJ. When you are ready for defense loads, I suggest Elite Ammunition (banner at top of page)

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
i picked up some ss198 couple months ago for 31 dollars a box, if i remember correctly it was pushing past 2200 on the chrono
Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
2100fps from FSN
Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
So beside the green paint, is there any real difference between the old white box SS195LF and current SS198LF? As I recall the whit box ammo ran about 2100 FPS out of my five seven.

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
SS198 is loaded a bit hotter than SS195. I want to say about 50-100FPS faster out of the 5.7.Surfgun wrote:So beside the green paint, is there any real difference between the old white box SS195LF and current SS198LF? As I recall the whit box ammo ran about 2100 FPS out of my five seven.
Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
White box SS195LF has been in the 1950-2050 range from what I recall. I have a box to test that. SS198LF is around 2100-high 21xx fps.

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
:ponder: So.. It is my understanding that the ss195 is 2600 fps out of the PS90 and so the ss198 should run about 2800 fps out of the PS90?? The T6b runs at 3095 fps out of the PS90. Am I correct with these numbers?
Also.... What is the Foot pounds of the T6b compared to the ss198. Thanks!!

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
All those velocities are subject to change whether FN's or ours. FNH is always using different powders and before I started importing powder during the lack of supplies I had to use powders that would cost me 100fps. Not much but still not optimal.M1P90 wrote::ponder: So.. It is my understanding that the ss195 is 2600 fps out of the PS90 and so the ss198 should run about 2800 fps out of the PS90??

319 for the current T6B from a FsN 562 for the PS90.
2800 fps is a bit high, when I tested 198 from a PS90 I got 2710 average. BUT based on the 2800 it would be about 460 foot pounds.
If you have 2 of the 3 values most free on line ballistic programs can supply the third value.
I like Point Blank for fast stuff. I use an older version, the new and improved one is no longer fast and easy.

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
What type of velocity are you getting with the SS195 out of the PS90? I'm curious if SS198 is worth the $0.10-$0.15 price increase over the SS195 in the PS90.Buffman wrote:I barely get 2500 fps from the PS90 and SS198LF

Re: FN 5.7x28mm Ammunition Tables
I came across these interesting 5.7x28 prototypes today on IAA forum:
"5.7 x 28 P90 related items. There are 3 case types here: .22 Magnum (2nd round is a triplex loading), 5.7 x 27(short neck) and normal 5.7 x 28 (end round has duplex projectile."

Yes, they all look to be saboted 4mm projectiles, including a duplex round (shoots 2 stacked projectiles at once.)Grantness wrote:Neat. Sabots?
Not sure what the material is, or whether any were ever fired, but certainly a cool bit of history.
