I first heard of the round some ten plus years ago when SA Police listed it as an evil cartridge needing banning, he 5.7x28, .338 Lapua, .460 Cheytec, .50 BMG, and similar LR cartridge but also including the .416 Remington Magnum!

Some bright spark wanting these "sniper" cartridges banned. There was a hoohah over this, the cops secretly threatened to ban anything greater than a .30-06 if we made a noise over their banning plans, but we ignored it. I wrote to every newspaper, TV station, member of parliament, minister etc. Pointing out the lack of logic, lack of evidence, any logic for the change. After this I believe I got blacklisted for a while and PTAs (permits to acquire) got lost several times. I missed out on Mike's Bailey Bradshaw .22 Hornet DR he was selling at the time. They lost my paperwork three times. Anyway Mike got five times the price for it than what he asked from me.

So the 5.7x28 was listed because supposedly it was a cop killer, and it was so deadly it could penetrate bullet proof vests ... the police bright spark must have read some blog somewhere and got scared from what he read ...

Also did you know the assault rifles used by the SGC Units, Star Gate Units, that fight the System Lords, the Go'uld, these assault rifles used the 5.7x28 round. And COULD penetrate the armour of their minions, the Jaffa. Fearsome warriors with go'uld worms in their stomachs, giving them strong and health regenerative powers.

So if round, the 5.7x28 can combat inter-planetary evil powers, how could it be trusted in the hands of mere subjects, civilians and peasants?!
