The 5.7x28mm cartridge was designed to provide rifle caliber-like ballistics with less recoil than most pistol caliber carbines. If you like the modularity potential of the AR15 platform you're in luck, this BANSHEE is built on our Mk4 AR15 platform which uses a standard AR15 lower receiver and our new and improved 5.7x28mm AR conversion mags, which means no need for a proprietary lower. Features EML handguards, full length M-LOK slots on both sides and the bottom of the handguard as well as M-LOK between the top picatinny rail sections; ZEROED parts including: pistol grip, drop-in trigger, 60/90 degree ambi safety, linear compensator 5.56mm, ambi mag catch, extended mag release button, AR15- ambi charging handle, bolt catch and polymer dust cover. Includes CMMG 32rd magazine.

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
