5.7x28mm Trajectory Calculator

The 5.7x28mm is a high-velocity PDW cartridge designed for the FN Five-seveN pistol and P90 submachine gun. With a 40-grain bullet at 1,655 fps from a handgun barrel and a 25-yard zero, expect about 0.5 inches of drop at 50 yards, 2.5 inches at 75 yards, and 5.0 inches at 100 yards. The flat trajectory and low recoil make it easy to shoot accurately at typical defensive distances.

Use the calculator to match your specific load. Click "Modify Calculation" to enter your bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and ballistic coefficient. The 5.7x28mm runs 27 to 40 grain bullets with velocities varying significantly between pistol and carbine barrels. You can also factor in wind, shooting angle, and atmospheric conditions.
