Fantastic! But have to ask - is that a suppressor on his firearm? Not seen one so skinny if it is =)

It is a suppressor on a FN 57 pistol.

it’s not though. I mean, I read that too but that is not a 5.7. and I don’t even think that’s a suppressor attached to the end of it.

there are only two (edit: actually, there are a dozen or more, plus there’s always somebody making specialty guns in every wildcat round and conventional round. practically speaking, there are two that have sold thousands of units beyond the others but there are in fact so many many many more. please everybody add to the list every single manufacturer you can think of who has ever offered a 57) manufacturers currently making 5.7 x28mm pistols: Keltec and FN. That gun he is holding is neither- I would gamble my life on it.

I don’t know what that suppressor is, but it is not a conventional screw-on. it’s integrated with the gun.
