The FN Five-seven, often stylized as Five-seveN, is a semi-automatic handgun developed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium. Its name reflects the bullet diameter of the 5.7x28mm cartridge, which was known for its extremely high velocities reaching upwards of around 2,500 feet per second with 23 to 40 grain projectiles and was highly effective against body armor and offered significant stopping power compared to more traditional rounds like the 9mm, while the unique capitalization highlights the manufacturer's initials, FN. The Five-seven is currently in service with military and police forces in over 40 nations, including Canada, France, Greece, India, Poland, Spain, and the United States. In the US, the Five-seven is currently in use by numerous law enforcement agencies, including the Secret Service. In the years since the pistol's introduction to the United States' civilian market, it has become increasingly popular with civilian shooters.
The Cybergun FN Five-Seven is a high-quality replica by SRC, featuring fully licensed trademarks and high attention to detail. The external slide and frame are made using an impact-resistant polymer resin, while the internal slide and frame are made using durable die-cast metal, giving the pistol a realistic build just like its real steel counterpart. The gun features a unique proprietary aluminum barrel & polymer chamber design with the inner and outer barrels being one and the same due to the similar diameter of a 6mm BB to the real 5.7x28mm cartridge, making this Five-seven GBB Airsoft pistol stand out among other Airsoft pistols on the market. Pistol also features a direct TDC hop-up adjustment system to give the pistol consistent and accurate shooting capabilities, while the rear iron sight is windage and elevation adjustable, giving the end user more options to finely tune the pistol to their preference. The gun comes with a 20mm 1913 lower Picatinny rail for mounting accessories like pistol lights and lasers, a 17 (+1 in the chamber) round magazine capacity, and is powered by green gas.
Shooting the pistol feels snappy yet weighty with every shot due to the melding of materials for the slide's construction. The fire controls are simple to actuate with the safety switch located where your index finger would rest in a ready position, and the slide release is located where your thumb would naturally sit, making reloading smooth and instinctive. The grip of the gun is thick to accommodate the long 5.7x28mm cartridge and magazine, but for Airsoft, it allows for a higher gas capacity in each mag. Couple that with the lightweight slide, the SRC Five-seven is extremely gas efficient.
Overall, the Cybergun SRC FN Five-Seven is a great pistol for those looking for something unique and different, yet reliable and accurate. A must-have pistol for Airsoft gun enthusiasts and collectors!
