Seems very close to the performance of my Yugo M57 7.62 x 25mm Tok.

Perhaps the perfect handgun for an operator. The recoilnissue in both 6″ and 5″ would be interesting along with the ability to bring thecweapon back on target. At my age very heavy recoil world finish me. Back in the day those of us who could get BHPs and SMG stock 9mm high velocity ammo thought that was special. Again at my age I doubt I’d pay $5,000.00 for such a pistol (not that they would lose any sleep over me) nor probably $1.00 to 2.00 a round. The weapon itself appears to be a cross between a SIG P11 and a CZ 75 which would be a combination of two of my favorite automatic handguns.

The Czechs don’t mess around when it comes to arms and ammunition manufacturing. We can continue to anticipate innovative, high quality firearms from the ‘beating heart of Europe’ as their country remains relatively insulated and free from the curse of the Euro, EU oppressive policies and PC immigration problems.

My carry piece is a FN5.7. That pistol also has a proprietary bullet that only averages 40gr. and was built for the same purpose. The cartridge has a special coating to aid in extraction. This gun is very interesting!

In reply to Joe. Yeah you're not kidding there. Let's hope this bad boy hits American markets soon!

I once experimented with a ballistics calculator to determine if it was possible to create a truly general purpose round, one that could be fired through both a pistol and a rifle. What I mean is not in the “carbine” sense, but a bullet that would have the actual range and effectiveness of a combat rifle round yet could still be chambered in a pistol. I determined that an 85 grain bullet traveling at 2500fps out of a 5″ barrel might do the trick; however, the bullet had to be shaped like a rifle bullet. My guess was that, using off the shelf components, a .25 caliber rifle bullet in a necked down 10mm case might work.

So I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the 7.5 BRNO round. The ballistics profile of its 100 grain bullet moving at 2000 fps is almost identical to that of an 85 grain bullet moving at 2500fps. From what I understand, the case diameter is 10mm as well. If I had to guess, I’d say that it is indeed the first round that can be used effectively as both a pistol and true rifle round. It would provide the benefits of a pistol-caliber carbine with real rifle performance.

I’m looking forward to see what BRNO does with it. The 7.5 could be a ground breaking achievement.
