minus-squarealcoholicorn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoOK, so there is a 5.7mm, that’s the same diameter as 5.56/.223, but it’s not compatible with either because of the french.
minus-squareDr. Coomer@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 months agoIs it a special round? For example, the cz 75 uses special 9×19mm parabellum or 9x21mm.
minus-squarealcoholicorn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·6 months agoKinda? The case is both shorter and narrower than 556/223, so it won’t even sit right in anything not designed for it. But FN makes quite a few guns that use it.
