R50 stands for Rifle - 50 Rounds in complementing contrast to the P50, the pistol version of the same platform. This carbine features a side-folding stock that rests nicely on either side of the grip when folded and a x 28 threaded - 16 inch barrel. It does come with some utility sights that are adjustable for windage and elevation, however the R50 receiver offers over 7 inches of picatinny rail space up top for mounting just about any optic or accessory you like. 2 inches of rail space on the bottom is ideal for light and grip options. Theres a QD sling cup just above the magazine release for mounting a single point sling and the AR style charging handle offers smooth manipulation.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 5.7X28mm was introduced by FN in 1993, developed for a new concept called Personal Defense Weapon (PDW), intended to replace the pistol, submachinegun, and carbine for miliitary use. The concept is a compact, selective fire weapon intended for use within 200 meters, firing a light projectile for controllable recoil. The 5.7X28mm was designed for FN's P90 PDW. It uses a short bottlenecked case firing a 31-grain .224-inch bullet at 2325 fps. Performance exceeds military handgun cartridge, especially as range increases. Although many experts find the concept sound acceptance by the military has not been rapid. — Craig Boddington
