The 5.7x28mm cartridge has garnered significant attention in both military and civilian circles for its unique blend of high velocity, low recoil, and versatility. Developed by FN Herstal in the late 1980s, this cartridge was initially designed to meet NATO's need for a compact, high-performance round capable of penetrating body armor, aiming to replace the traditional 9×19mm Parabellum cartridge.

History of the 5.7x28mm Cartridge

In 1989, NATO sought a new personal defense weapon (PDW) system that offered greater range, accuracy, and the ability to penetrate body armor. FN Herstal responded by developing the 5.7x28mm cartridge alongside the FN P90 PDW and the FN Five-seven pistol. The original SS90 cartridge featured a lightweight, high-velocity projectile. However, in 1993, it was replaced by the SS190, which utilized a slightly heavier and shorter projectile to improve performance and compatibility with the Five-seven pistol.
