NATO Standardizes FN’s 5.7x28mm Caliber

The caliber was designed in the late 1980s for use with the FN P90® and FN Five-seveN® pistol.

The 5.7x28mm caliber is now integrated into the Multi-Caliber Manual Of Proof and Inspection (AEP-97) and joins the standardized NATO small caliber ammunition portfolio, along with the 9x19mm NATO, the 5.56x45mm NATO, the 7.62x51mm NATO and the 12.7x99mm NATO (also widely known as the .50 caliber).
