[[Image:FN5701.jpg|thumb|250px|''Five-seveN USG'' with twenty [[FN 5.7x28mm|5.7×28mm]] cartridges]] The '''FN Five-seven''', marketed as the '''Five-seveN''', is an armor-piercing [[Semi-automatic firearm|semi-automatic]] [[pistol]] made by the [[Belgium|Belgian]] gun company [[FN Herstal]]. It fires the [[FN 5.7x28mm]] bullet, where the gun itself gets its name. It was made around the same time as the [[FN P90]] [[Personal defense weapon|PDW]]. Although the FN 5.7x28mm bullet is small, it has low [[recoil]], high [[stopping power]], high [[Accuracy and precision|accuracy]], armor-piercing abilities, and long range because of its high [[muzzle velocity]]. The small size of the bullet also allows for the gun's [[Magazine (firearms)|box magazines]] to hold many bullets, with a normal magazine holding 20 bullets. It is popular with [[Military|militaries]] and police forces worldwide.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/gearscout/irons/2019/08/20/whatever-happened-to-fns-wonder-pistol/|title=Whatever happened to FN’s wonder pistol?|last=D'Costa|first=Ian|date=2020-01-10|website=Military Times|language=en-US|access-date=2020-07-16}}</ref> However, its ability to shoot through [[Body armour|body armor]] and the high number of bullets it can carry make it a very [[Controversy|controversial]] gun in the [[United States]] for [[civilian]] use.
