Product Overview
Fiocchi's 35-grain frangible load addresses a specific need in the 5.7x28mm market. Frangible bullets are designed to break apart on hard surfaces rather than ricochet. This makes them safer for steel target shooting at close range and for training in shoot houses with metal components. At 1750 fps, this lightweight projectile generates 238 ft-lbs of energy while minimizing splash-back hazards.
Close-quarters training facilities often mandate frangible ammunition for safety reasons. Military and law enforcement teams practicing room clearing benefit from ammunition that won't bounce off walls, floors, or steel props. The 5.7x28mm already has a reputation for reduced ricochet potential compared to conventional handgun rounds, and a frangible bullet amplifies that advantage further.
Steel challenge competitors who shoot 5.7 platforms also appreciate frangible loads. Hitting steel at 10 yards with standard bullets creates some risk. Frangibles turn into dust on impact. The lighter 35-grain weight produces minimal recoil, allowing fast transitions between targets. This is specialty ammunition for specific situations rather than general range use, but for those situations it provides a measurable safety improvement.
- Frangible bullet eliminates ricochet hazard on steel targets
- Safe for close-range steel shooting and shoot house training
- Light 35-grain bullet produces very low recoil
- Breaks into dust on hard surfaces rather than fragmenting into shrapnel
- Meets safety requirements for many professional training facilities
- 1750 fps velocity maintains flat trajectory
- Specialty ammunition with limited general-purpose utility
- No penetration capability for defensive applications
- Lower BC of 0.15 sheds velocity faster than heavier bullets
- Typically priced higher than standard FMJ training ammunition
- 238 ft-lbs energy is lowest among 5.7x28mm options
