PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The FN-designed 5.7x28mm caliber, standardized in 2020 by NATO, was originally designed in the late 1980s for use with the military issued FN P90 and FN Five-seveN pistol. With three decades of trusted use, the FN 5.7x28mm drastically improves range, accuracy and terminal performance from small arms with the hyper velocity bottleneck pistol cartridge.
The FN SS197SR is a high-performance 5.7x28mm sporting cartridge loaded with a 40-grain Hornady V-Max bullet. The polymer-tipped bullet improves accuracy, rapidly expands and minimizes ricochet. This ammunition is ideally suited for target shooting, competition or hunting.

BRAND OVERVIEW
In 1889, Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre was formed to produce 150,000 Mauser rifles for the Belgian government from our state-of-the-art production facility in Herstal, Belgium. The first rifles were assembled on New Year’s Eve 1891.
FN soon expanded into ammunition, delivering millions of rounds globally. In 1896, the company restructured to diversify into areas that filled any gaps in the “slow” years. One particularly successful endeavor was manufacturing bicycles, which led to the most important partnership in the history of our company.
