History of the FN Five seveN: The Gun NATO Wanted, Politicians Hated, and Gamers Worshipped

The FN Five-seveN isn’t just a gun—it’s a vibe. Built around the blazing 5.7x28mm cartridge, this full-sized pistol was designed for a very specific role and to disrupt the rules of modern handgun design. It's lightweight, low recoil, holds 20 rounds, and looks like it came out of a Cyberpunk 2077 loadout. But behind all that sci-fi aesthetic is a legit origin story tied to NATO's search for a next-gen armor-piercing PDW round.

In this video, I break down:

Why FN made the 5.7x28mm in the first place

How the Five-seveN evolved from law enforcement tool to pop culture legend

What makes the MRD version actually modern

The truth behind the "cop killer" ammo myths

And why this pistol still doesn’t care about being mainstream

From rap lyrics to Rainbow Six loadouts, the Five-seveN earned its cult status—and kept it. It’s weird. It’s niche. It’s expensive. But it just works.
