Rough Rider revolver with cylinder gap with 22mag 35gr soft point vs 5.7 40gr fmj... Apple's to Orange's Test.

Those .22magnums should have been 1400 fps out of a six inch barrel. I guess that gap in the revolver slowed it down

Not even a fair comparison, you could at least used comparable firearms with same barrel lengths!

Come on man. At least compare them out of remotely similar firearms

Yikes, that revolver gave some ugly 22 mag speeds. The PMR 30 with a 5" bbl will give velocities in excess of 1500fps with that load. This test wasn't all that informative due to the poor representative for the 22 mag.

Great video exactly what I was looking into for my next gun

"Tac, tac, tac, tac, PEW " hahaha... Nice video bro.

Never a good comparison. One is center fire, the other rimfire. Makes a big difference. And case strength matters.

Try the 22 WMR from a rifle. That cartridge is optimized for a rifle length barrel whereas the 5.7 was optimized for a 10" barrel.

Do a comparison with 22 tcm

As a reloader I am curious about the viability of reloading the 5.7 compared to the 22 hornet or k-hornet

semi auto rifle vs revolver with a "cylinder gap" not sure how good of a comparison that is. I bet the 5.7 still wins, but the cylinder gap, come on! Just go with a 5.56 and the ammo will be cheaper also.

I don't recall the 5.7 in the "How powerful is it" series with the van.... Let's see... the 5.7 was developed about 100 yrs after the .22 mag?

I don't always leave comments, but when I do you can bet the video was badass! this was an amazing home defense test!

Glad to see you finally got a pro shooter to help you with your videos. I believe all tests should be done by a sniper such as this.

I’m glade you did this comparison. I wish you would have used a hotter 22 mag round though.

Military Arms Channel has a better comparison video of these two rounds

Nice to see womble back

I agree. Should be similar firearms.

You ruined that rim fire firing pin with no cartridge slamming the hammer down causes damage

I know the 5.57 x28 and 22 mag. as a popular comparison but have you thought of the 22 tcm round as a test round for the 5.7x 28 round

very interesting I have seen vids of 5.7 tumbling in different types of medium

seems like bit of a disadvantage for the wheel gun having a barrel cylinder gap. just a thought.

Next week: Can the popular 9 mil outgun the mighty BB?

.22 TCM would be interesting... as others have suggested.

I'd take 5.7 any day over 22Mag

Brought back some memories: I inherited a .22 Mag Scout single action from my grandfather. A somewhat clumsy pistol, but it taught me the art of breathing and aiming.

Should have included an ammo buying trip to Walmart. Be sure to mention ammo costs and availability .

I would like to see the same ammo 22Mag. Vs. 5.7 on ballistic jel.

How about trying the 5.7 mm vs the original 5mm Rem mag? (both in equal length barrels)

The 5.7 x28 is a hell of a round 👏 but is it really worth the cost? The FN is at least twice the price and the ammo is at least 10 per more than a 22 magnum. After considering an AR pistol is a lot more powerful than the 5.7 x 28 and the pistol is cheaper whats the point??really I got caught up in that when the Ruger 57 came out. They were out of stock and gave me a chance to think things thru. So I never got one I did get a Keltec PMR30 and im pretty happy with it.

Firearms and ammo used makes this comparison irrelevant. Try using CCI 40 Grain maxi mag high velocity 1875 fps in a Keltec pmr 30

Is that 22mag ammo from CCI the TNT offering? I doubt it with a crono of 1,241. The TNT has an advertised velocity of 2,200FPS

This guy has the most random NFA items I’ve ever seen.

Why are you comparing velocity of the 5.7 sbr vs .22 mag handgun w/6" barrel? Apples vs. Oranges...

No f***ing comparison...the 5.7×28 is a far superior round and u should've used the actual fn pistol for a more apples to apples comparison

5.7x28mm is closer to .22 Hornet than it is .22 WMR. The cylinder gap on the revolver is negligible so ignore any remarks from people making them. I have a Kel-Tec PMR-30 with 4.5 inch barrel than using 40gr V-Max ammo or the CCI Maxi Mags I can achieve higher velocity than you did with that A22 ammo, so I will say quality ammo will change the results some. However, 5.7x28mm will be faster and carry more energy regardless. It holds more powder, can be loaded to higher pressures, and can drive the same weight bullet faster no matter what. That's all there is to it. Now, compared to .22 Hornet it's a different story. But finding .22 Hornet handguns will be nearly impossible unless you can find a Taurus Raging Hornet like Matt over at Demolition Ranch or maybe a Thompson Center. Truly, the 5.7x28mm has proven to be a bit of a hype caliber as time has gone on, but that's mostly because it's original intention as a caliber as civilians getting armor piercing ammo is a no go. And without proper ammo, just like anything lacking proper ammo, it's not very impressive. Now, 20 rounds on tap, lighter than most 9mm guns with the same capacity, and very low felt recoil make it a good self defense round regardless of it's short comings. It is however a round that shot placement will mean more than anything else. As finding good expanding ammo will take you to the specialty market and it's going to get costly, and even fully expanded it wont be that big. Something like the PMR-30 in my eyes is a competitor in that same regard of having a lot of ammo and being light and shot placement mattering more. However, a 5.7 will like be far more reliable due to being center fire ammo. All in all, I wish people would stop saying it's like .22 WMR because it's not. I also wish people wouldnt compare it to 5.56 because it's not the same either. Now, in short barrels the 5.7x28 with proper ammo has been shown to have better terminal ballistics than the 5.56, however with some recent ammo developments that may have changed a bit more from when that information was initially gathered. I think these days an SBR 5.56 with fragmenting ammo would do a much better job than 5.7x28mm with good expanding ammo. So I feel the 5.7 was initially designed as a duty round for military, para military, and LEO's as an option to defeat 3A body armor and for that purpose it does fine. For up close and personal it's a great round, just look at the Fort Hood shooting. Proper ammo in the gun and it did more than most could have asked from it, even if it was a tragedy that never should have happened it was good data if nothing else.

Like to see the test versus a 1911 Rock Island XT22. Same 5 inch barrel length. No cylinder gap.

Probably would've been better to use two similar firearms.. I mean a sbr suppressed and a revolver are like, total different spectrums. Something like an excel accelerator in 22 mag and 5.7 ( they offer both ) would have been best. Take away all variables

beautiful revolver

it's been awhile since I've seen that odd guy on your videos.

Revolver v automatic? Isn't there a big difference in chamber pressure and inurn a difference in FPS? This is an honest question I'm looking for someone to answer.

please do 5.7x28mm vs .22 hornet

Doesnt revolver lose a lot of muzzle velocity since gap from cylinder to barrel for gasses to escape

I'm already reading the comments and I can say I agree with most that it's a pretty uneven comparison 🤔

What about 45/70 vs 12 gauge slugs.?

22 wmr is after way over looked...but it is alot cheaper that 5.7... Now 5.7 does have more get up and go...my son had the same 22 pistol w a mag cyl.. he is a damn good shot w it...

Fn57 vs keltec pmr 30 would be a way better comparison

What we're the barrel lengths used for each (apologies if I missed it). I'd have more interest in this with rifle length barrels. I have no experience with 5.7, but 22 mag easily shoots 2000-2200fps from my rifles. I use it often for small game up to coyotes. I'd be interested in the terminal ballistics from rifles at different distances, accuracy and drift. I could find a use for 5.7 if it doesn't cause significantly more damage than 22mag and had significantly increased accuracy

Awesome video but i would like to see 5.7x28 vs .17 WSM. Wouldn`t that be interesting!?That way, i can choose between the two calibers!

Finally back far enough from the chronograph. Thank you for listening to viewer feedback! See how much less of a spread there is?

How does 5.7 compare to 17 HMR or 17 Hornet?

On that Heritage Rough Rider, I'm betting that the reason it isn't shooting reliably is that the firing pin is mushroomed out on the tip.

5.7 all day long especially when using a 27 grain.

I finally found a video I haven't seen before Lol

not bad... thanks

Amer Eagle slow rounds, short barrel. With a mil round and 8"-10" barrel you'd see all-plates penetration.

Grain size?

@2:40-3:10 - And THIS is why RIMFIRE is NOT RECOMMENDED for self-defense!

Horrible test. You may as well have shot the .22 magnum out of a derringer, and the 5.7 out of a 22 inch barrel bolt action. .22 Magnum loses a lot to the cylinder gap. According to BBTI, .22 mag out of a 5 inch barrel (bolt action) gets 1355 fps. Out of a 5.5 inch revolver it only gets 1248 fps. Furthermore, .22 Mag benefits heavily from a longer barrel. The difference between a 5" barrel and a 18" barrel is 500 fps. Compare that to a 9mm, who may only gain 150-200 fps from the same difference.

Tbf ive seen some 5.7 ammo bookin it at 2400 fps out of a 4.5 inch barrel

I've shot through 1/8th inch hard steel with the ps90? This video has underpowered the 5.7!

on the cmmg -- could you test 5 shots with and without the silencer to check the speed?

Federal 5.7 is slowed down compared to Law Enforcement round! But good video.

SO HOW FAR DID THE 5.7 GO YOU DIDNT SAY

A banshee mechanism Vs a revolver is asinine, because of the velocity comparison is compromised. So try something like a”KRISS DEFIANCE DMK22C” versus a Banshee 5.7

That's like comparing a .45 colt to a 45/70 not the same league.

Ya'll should try 5.7x28mm VS .22 TCM. My money would more likely be on the .22 TCM!

The 11 piece of gutter had a sphincter. An FN 5.7 x 28 FN Brand bullet would have gone through all.

I don’t know anyone who says 22mag is equivalent to 5.7. Just similar enough to make it’s costing a third as much look really good by contrast. Btw- Rough riders have enormous cylinder gap issues. Loved the video though.

5.7x28 vs 17 hmr next😁

How about .308 vs .280 British vs 5.56

An AK chambered in 556? Please make a video about that gun

How about a 22 Hornet compared to your 5.7, that seems fairer

.22 thru 6.5 mm ? and the 5.7 went thru 7 mm?

I would love to see some pass though ballistic fell with dry wall behind representative of self defense inside your house

New medium , Last Jedi D.V.Ds

How bout a .22tcm vs 5.7? I think both will be competitive.

Test Weapons were not even remotely comparable, nor did using a suppressed weapon vs a non suppressed make any ballistic sense.

Sort of like comparing 45 to .25 17 hmr would probably make a better comparison to 22 mag. Super low Mv from the revolver.

Dry firing a rimfire is no good for the firing pin and or the cylinder(breach) for semi auto.

Aren't 5.7 rounds suppose to shoot at about 2100 fps even from a 57 pistol like FN 57, Ruger 57 or even m&p 57. Why is your 57 traveling at just about 1600 fps? What could be the issue? You're using a 5 inch barrel too. Atleast 1800 fps was expected

you need to shoot closer to the 2x4 . plates are bending, 17 cal went over your heads to the right. watch the film of it!

Oh and news flash!!! Shotguns don't scatter at close range, like they depict on video games either. lol

Nice

well they should of used a bolt action on the 22 mag to make it farer

My question is the 5.7 a good bullet to blow a person down quick

how many buckets of dog shit will5.7x28mm go through or 5.56 ? ?

The use of the revolver was a mistake. Also, why the hell not show velocity of the 5.7 WITHOUT the suppressor? That leaves so much doubt as to make the whole effort useless.

Its time for ruger to make a 10/5.7 Lets all be honest here. :D

Well until you compare same bullet style and weight you're comparing is irrelevant and unfair

Atleast compare it with a cmr 30 using a revolver in the comparison isn’t a good comparison at all, wouldn’t you lose velocity with a revolver because it has a a tiny space between the cylinder and the barrel which would make me think the revolver loses more velocity compared to a gun that completely enclosed the round inside a sealed chamber

You're comparing a pistol to a rifle? Not sure that you're getting accurate results this way.

The same but from 100 yards

Its called metal roofing

He should have used a Ruger

Is that a box of ammo next to the target? Hmmmm

Lol, my air rifle just about shoots as fast as that .22wmr. I’ve clocked 1189 before on it.

Can you say, “cylinder gap?”

I would still go with the 22 magnum and save lots of money shooting
