Quick Look
The 5.7x28 rifle platform was developed in tandem with the FN 5.7x28mm cartridge, which debuted in the early 1990s. Designed for flat trajectory, low recoil, and high velocity, these rifles serve niche tactical and civilian roles. Today, 5.7x28 rifles are attracting attention for personal defense, range use, and small-game hunting due to their unique ballistics and lightweight footprint.
Why It's a Top Choice
- Flat-shooting cartridge with minimal recoil
- High-capacity magazines compared to standard ARs
- Lightweight builds ideal for fast handling
- Effective terminal performance at intermediate ranges
