Now you gotta get a PS90 and SBR it to keep that Five-Seven company :q:

PS90, get a stamp to convert to P90 with a short barrel, then get another stamp for a can and make it long again :q:

I liked the idea the 5.7x28mm round, basically a .22 hornet without the rim.

If I was reloading again I wouldn't mind getting something in 5.7 but I'm not so meh.

I have no idea about the terminal ballistics, but I remember once a guy brought a Five-Seven to a shooting match and seeing it try to knock down steel was just adorably pathetic. It took several rapid hits for the steel to even start falling slowly. It was like "awww, you tried!" in the same way you'd congratulate a toddler for trying to use the toilet while pissing all over the seat.

On top from back to front is a magnifier, optic (red dot I think), laser. On the right side of the barrel is a flashlight, underneath is a vertical grip.

I need to get a magnifier.

Flashlight pressure switch is roughly just above the vertical grip at the 11 o'clock.

Aimpoint M4 red dot sight is on there because it has an 8 year battery life, so I can leave it on all the time and have one less thing to fiddle with when I get woken up at 2AM.
Aimpoint 3X-C magnifier gives some improved target clarity and ID capability. I don't normally use them, but in this specific case, it's useful. I'm not engaging anything past 25m anyways, but this gives me some edge on smaller targets.
Flashlight is for uh, light I guess.
IR laser is so that I can put rounds on target without any visible light.
Silencer set inside the handguard keeps subsonic rounds pretty quiet.

This thing has taken out a lot of critters that have come after my chickens.

I didn't even realize it was 22 but looking at the mag closer, yeah, drat.

Does a 22 short function in that, or does it not feed/cycle? (too low gas pressure? Loading geometry?) And even if you have to load it directly how quiet is one?

No doubt, but most people use an old 20ga shotgun propped up next to the back door for the same purpose.

A Ruger Charger pistol plus some Primary Arms electronics would have got you 90% of the way there, but wouldn't have been nearly as cool.

I've never tried 22 short, so I can't say. I've been feeding this thing CCI segmented subsonic hollow points for operational use. Functions well and puts down critters harder than any other 22 ammo type I've used.

While I personally wouldn't drop that much cash on a .22, having a gun that sees actual work I think is good enough reason to blank check that poo poo.

It probably wouldn't. Only .22s I know to feed .22 Short and .22 LR are things like pump-action or single shot rifles. The lengths are so radically different that I would be surprised if that magazine could even load it.

CCI Quiet-22 rounds are pretty awesome if you don't have a suppressor. My spring piston pellet gun makes more noise. The only downside is that they won't cycle most semi-auto guns.

They're only 700fps muzzle velocity rather than 1050 or up. They're hilariously quiet through a canned gun. Different zero/trajectory than standard rounds though.

Should I :

A. Take screen shots of posts and report them to Facebook?

B. Invite every non white person on my friends list into said group?

C. Both
