Colt .38 Super El Senador vs. Belgian FN 5.7 - Law Enforcement Forum - Local and International Law Enforcement Community

**SaraJ** · 04-23-2008

I was just reading that the two most popular guns here right now are the two above. I watched a video of the AFT firing an FN 5.7 at a bullet proof vest. It wasn't. Bullet proof that is. The bullets just went through the vest like it was silk. That's why they're called "Mata Policias"--cop killers--here. The El Senador is very popular. Guys like to put pearl handles on 'em and engrave 'em with their names in gold. Real Mafia stuff!

I can't believe that the 38 Super is a popular cartridge. The last time I checked the ammo for this type of gun was very expensive. But hey if your just wanting to look cool and like a THUG then a chrome plated gun is the way to go. I once saw a THUG at a gun show looking a gold plated .50 Desert Eagle. It matched the bling in his teeth.

Yeah, a thug's gun as you say. The guys buying this type of gun have no money worries. Income somewhere around 1 or 2 billion dollars a month. It seems that they think it's just super cool to carry one. Not that they get a chance to use it cause they're surrounded by body guards. I guess it makes them think that their you-know-what is about 18"!!

The Fn is a new round. It basically puts the power of a rifle in your hand. I want one just to say that I own one. Would I use it for defense? No Way. You are responsible for whatever you hit, that includes targets and anything that goes through said target and hits someone else.

NO SUCH THING AS A BULLET PROOF VEST, SaraJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are bullet resistant!

Tell me!!! I discovered that when I saw the picture of one of the cops here after about 20 some odd AK-47 bullets hit him.

I remember a quote. . . "Remember, your bullet proof vest was supplied by the lowest bidder."
