A small bottleneck cartridge developed for Personal Defence Weapons by Fabrique Nationale Herstal. Mainly used in the FN Five seveN and the FN P90 PDW's. Even though it has less recoil than a 9x19mm Parabellum round, it is capable of defeating medium ballistic body armour. Superior to the 4.6x30mm HK cartridge according to a NATO evaluation, but not standardized due to Germany and several other countries rejecting it.
They thought they were safe because of their ballistic vests, but our P90's firing 5.7x28mm FN rounds proved them otherwise.

A class of compact firearms, essentially hybrids between Assault Rifles and Sub-Machine Guns. Designed to be both small and light so they can be carried by Non-combatant Personnel, but still have the capability to penetrate modern ballistic body armour. This is usually achieved by utilising special cartridges, such as the 5.7x28mm FN or the 4.6x30mm HK. Very effective in Close Quarter Combat, this class of firearms has been adopted by several Special Forces, Law Enforcement Agencies and Counter-Terrorist Units.
Notable examples include the FN P90, the HK MP7, the PDW Version of the FN SCAR and the AAC Honey Badger.

...so then these Paratroopers went for our Supply Personnel, assuming that they were easy bait. But luckily, they were equipped with Personal Defence Weapons and managed to hold them back until combatant units were on place.
