HK MP7 is gas operated, same as SIG MPX. The only delayed blowback braced pistol there is in 5.7 is CMMG Banshee.
Hence why i said "delayed blowback MP7" in my first post

Since the conversation is covering a wide range of related topics, does anyone have one of those AR uppers that ejects the 5.7 brass down through the magazine well? I have no use for such a thing but the convenience of attaching a bag to catch brass without having some ungainly thing hanging off the side of the rifle always struck me as really, really neat.
If you've got one, tell us what you think of it.
I have seen ballistics testing that said that as well. I was also going through reverse SRP in 2009 in early November at Ft. Hood where a very sad event took place that showed that the 5.7 round is quite effective.
I didn't say it was validation that the round is good. Just effective. Unless you are taking head shots, most people will require more than one round no matter the caliber used. Shot placement is still the key.The Ft. Hood shooter shot most people multiple times, IIRC, and had shot something like 5,000 rounds in practice before the shooting, and was for the most part, shooting unarmed people.
I think 5.7 has some merit, but the Ft. Hood shooting isn't exactly what I'd look to for validation that the round is good

I'm tempted, but the nightmare stories about reloading 5.7 are seriously making me reconsider. "Cheap" ammo is about $0.39 - $0.40 per round. That's a bit more than I'd want to spend on a novelty.
This post from AR15.com sums it up.

Damn, that looks nasty.
Thank you for linking this Ben!! I was thinking about this range day the other day and wondering where the footage went.

I got to handle one of these today at my local shop. They had 3 of them for $699 a piece. I kind of want one.
Soon! But probably on something else.When can we expect pictures of your new purchase?
It'll come down. The patient will get them for under MSRP.I was just checking Gun Broker, it looks like the Ruger 57s are going a few hundred above retail... $999.99. It reminds me when the PMR30s were hard to find & Gunbroker had them from $550 - $850
