Latin America really seems to like that rifle

Surprised they’d bother with a weapon in such a niche caliber.

They love that round. The Five Seven is called in slang by the cartels Mata Policia

So what is the slang they use to call it?

I just bought me a Fn Five Seven all FDE ,and that is slick. I got the MK II version in the box with all three magazines. That thing is like cheating when you shoot it lol it is nothing I expected it has no recoil it is silly

How’s the grip angle? I heard it’s weird, but I’ve never gotten to hold one

I absolutely love it. I personally wanted the MK II over the newer version the MK III that has less aggressive texture. The MK III is mostly meant for optics ,but I am not into red dots on my handguns ,and I like the loos better if the old school MK III. It fits wonderfully in my handguns I mean absolutely perfect,abd got a hell of good price from Bass Pro

I have an AR57. It is fun to shoot. It is also the gun that gets the most looks at the range. Lots of people have run a few rounds through my AR57 as a result

the shells eject out of the mag well if I remember right...

If you wanted to collect your brass it would be easy to put something to catch it there.

I'm pretty sure the ar mag release is still functional, so you could put a hollow mag in to catch the brass

5.7 is revered by tons of cartels and gangs for the hope of penetrating Kevlar in a small package, so pistols chambered in 5.7 once smuggled go for way higher than more common caliber pistols- this rifle is likely a way to make logistics slightly easier on himself if he already has a pistol in the same caliber
