I found the following over on another forum in a thread about using the Fiveseven for CCW, someone stated he thought it was huge and made his HK USP 40 look tiny. The numbers really put things in true perspective if you ask me especially when you consider the nearly identical size, 20% lighter weight, 55% more capacity, etc, etc, etc, etc.
Just for fun lets compare your USP40 to the Fiveseven…
Weight
USP40 = 1.66
FN-FS = 1.36
(-0.30)
Height
USP40 = 5.35
FN-FS = 5.39
(+0.04)
Width
USP40 = 1.26
FN-FS = 1.54
(+0.28 )
Length
USP40 = 7.64
FN-FS = 8.19
(+0.55)
Capacity
USP40 = 13
FN-FS = 20
(+7)
Ballistics
165gr 1200fps 527ft/lb
28gr 2250fps 315ft/lb
Jello Penetration (bare)
.40 ~9-14"
5.7 ~9-14"
Jello Penetration (clothed)
.40 ~12-16+"
5.7 ~9-14"
Recoil
.40/165gr = 1.00lb/sec, 19.45ft/sec, 9.75ft/lb
_5.7/28gr = 0.39lb/sec, _9.14ft/sec, 1.76ft/lb
Ammunition Cost
40s&w $0.30-1.25
5.7x28 $0.36-0.75
Pistol Cost
USP40 ~$710
FN-FS ~$855
