Chambered in 5.7x28mm, the FN Five-seveN USG utilizes a polymer frame and slide cover to create an incredibly light and easily maintained autoloading pistol. Single-action operation combined with an internal hammer and highly textured grip enhance handling characteristics. The low recoil impulse of the 5.7x28mm cartridge is only 60% of typical 9mm loadings for rapid and accurate follow-up shots. The Five-seveN USG features a traditional style trigger guard, reversible magazine release, magazine disconnect and adjustable sights. Built for extended service under the most demanding conditions, the Five-seveN's hammer-forged barrel has a hard chrome bore finish with a projected 20,000 round life. The Five-seveN USG comes standard with three 20-round magazines and a locking polymer hard case.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
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.
