This review of the Smith & Wesson M&P 5.7 highlights its exceptionally low recoil, attributed to its gas delay system and the 5.7x28mm cartridge. The firearm features standard M&P 2.0 enhancements like front/rear serrations, an optics-ready slide, and a flat-face trigger. Ballistic tests against cantaloupes suggest the 5.7x28mm FMJ round has a more significant effect than 9mm or .22LR FMJ at close range, with hollow points offering increased devastation.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of four common rifle calibers (5.56x45mm NATO, 7.62x39mm, .270 Winchester, and .450 Bushmaster) by shooting cantaloupes at 15 yards. The presenter, from Buckeye Ballistics, highlights differences in projectile performance, particularly between FMJ and expanding rounds, and discusses energy transfer and penetration characteristics. The test aims to provide a visual comparison of how different calibers and bullet types affect soft targets.
