Fn 5.7 Millimeter Pistol, Gun Used in Fort Hood
The fn 57 pistol is a semi automatic gun in 5.7×28mm manufactured by FN Herstal company. The weapon’s name refers to its 5.7 mm bullet diameter.
The American Law enforcement officials
have said that the 5.7 mm pistol used in the Fort Hood shooting
rampage was purchased legally at a Texas gun store.
The officials reportedly spoke on condition of anonymity as they are not supposed or authorized to discuss the case.
Records show that Hasan bought the FN 5.7
from “Guns Galore” store in Killeen, Texas, well before the attack that
killed 13 people.
Gun control advocates call the pistol as a “cop killer” weapon because the gun can pierce bulletproof jackets.
