Opinions on the new KelTec gun in 5.7mm FN? Looks kinda near and futuristic but probably will ham every 3 rounds? I think it takes P90 magazines from the pictures? Autistic opinions??!

Let's be honest with ourselves. The P90 is a fucking ugly ass gun. There are bull pups that look cool and the p90 is not one of them.
The P50 on the other hand is a retro futuristic space age gun that looks like it shoots laser beams and would look good in twin side saddles on a cafe racer with tank track tires.
Right now 5.7 is kind of the equivalent to buying a jetski and parking it in front of your house. Maybe as time goes on it will be more affordable and readily available but for now you're mostly buying that caliber purely to flex.
My main concern is the ejection angle. it looks like it ejects behind where the sight is mounted so if you have a cheek weld (assuming they make a brace for it) the brass is hitting you in the face and causing weird stoppages.
Reloading also looks kind of tricky
I bought my Five-seveN IOW (one with the rounded trigger guard) for around $850 back in the mid-2000's. But, yeah, the ammo has always been a bitch to find and expensive.
Reloading looks like a belt fed machine gun. Fortunately I have plenty of practice on that.
I really want a 5.7. Don't know if i will get one but i love the idea of 20 rds with 30 in a pocket for a reload.
I was on the fence for years on the ballistics of the round but finally did enough research to feel pretty good about it.
