Also it has extremely low recoil witch obviously results in extreme accuracery and precision.

You're 17. Why are you giving advice? Unless you're a competition shooter, I doubt you have any experience worth giving advice for purchase.
Good luck buying your 5.7, I'm sure it will come in handy when all the Level II wearing gang members assault your house.

I've shot a similar round in an HK PDW. If I recall it was .18. Both advertise penetration at a distance, and that is nothing that should be in the hands of the average citizen.
Penetration at 50 yards? 99.99% of justified self-defense uses of firearms isn't even at 10.
The only good reason to purchase that FN is that the value of it and the ammunition (although sale of all buy one type is restricted) will skyrocket once police lobbyists manage to get it banned.
