How about an AR5.7? - Page 2

Mine comes out of the safe rarely due to ammo costs. 50 rounds around here usually runs around 25.00.
I've read where another ammo mfg. has started making the 5.7 rounds with FN. Perhaps that'll help.

AR57

What "over penetration of the 5.56/.223"? It's growing more popular to use because it's less likely to over-penetrate than nearly any other alternative...

As much as I like my AR , a P90 seems a better choice for short range work due to the bullpup design making it much shorter.
