#1 That works out to .225, not familiar with that as a Pistol caliber, I recently got to see a .17 cartridge, now that's a nasty small slug, BP Vests wouldn't slow it down a bit.

#2 The media is right. The guns ARE cop killers! They sneak out of the store at night, hunt down the poor police officer and shoot them dead! Just like a snipe hunt! Just more of the anti gun media bullshit. If this guy did this off post where everyone carries a gun he would be swiss cheese and the Texans would be calling it target practice!

#3 FNH USA makes this 5.7 x 28 pistol. I saw this in Rifleman a a couple of years ago and was intrigued by it. Indeed the 17 cal. is nasty. Not a big slug but a killer.
