No. It goes through body armor pretty well, but it does so by being really small. Doesnt really count as "most powerful". Hit an unarmored target and it doesnt do much.

Yeah..the Five Seven is definitely awesome. Can't it penetrate most bulletproof vests at up to 300m?

I suppose I was thinking armor penetration. The CZ-52 would also fall into that area.

Man that gun uses miniture rifle shells as ammo! Never seen that before. Looks pretty sweet, but I bet the ammo's hella expensive.

Well that is pretty expensive compared to 9mm, which typically goes for ~$7 per case, or .14 per bullet.

If you define "most powerful" as the one that transfers the most energy to the bullet, I believe it would be the S&W 500 Magnum.

You are missing the whole "semi-auto pistol"... or I missed the into of a massive new design.
