The principle of the 5.7 is the same, however. It's foolish to say that speed is not important and doesn't make a difference. The 5.7 bullet is typically traveling more than 2X's as fast as the typical handgun calibers.

That can mean different things depending on the bullet. If you want fast, violent expansion, you can get it. If you want penetration, you can get it. No, you're not going to have tissue "crushed" by the diameter of the bullet, but there are other benefits speed gives you that a slower bullet cannot.



Just a slower 5.56 with a lighter bullet, not am improvement at all IMHO
