1): George H. W. D. V. D. Bush, the head of THE BOX GANG working with the Clintons, had stored some or all of the stolen/diverted 1933 dollar currency Chinese currency boxes referenced in our reports dated 4th and 5th November 2009 at Fort Hood. These boxes form part of the Settlement negotiated with the Chinese parties, who were immediately double-crossed by the Americans.

5.7 caliber?!?! 5.7 caliber?!? Great Scott. 2.6 gigawatts?!?!
Just playing. I hadn't heard that report and I am glad to know someone can tell me that the 5.7 exists. My first reaction was one of not trusting but kudos to you for posting that.
I also completely agree that not including the names of those talking to reportes seems ripe for misunderstanding, lying, expanding on what really happen and overal, a less then accurate report. Did anyone except anything more from our MSM?
United States: Used by U.S. Secret Service special agents assigned to protective details.[2][45] Also used by numerous police departments and SWAT teams[12] such as Passaic County, New Jersey[46] and Duluth, Georgia.[47] It is also used in Texas by Brownsville SWAT.[48]

The news report I saw said he was using an M16. Has the official line changed?
As for him being able to get ahold of a Five-seven as a lowly GI, I doubt it?

That's a known list of 5-7 operators in the US. As far as I know Army and special ops dont use the thing because it's just a specialist pistol designed for piercing armor. Same as most of the stuff that FN produces, it's all niche stuff that ends up being used by police and SWAT type units.

Yea well, i think he means 5.7 mm which would be just above 22 cal, not an uncommon nato round but is a strange choice for a person wanting to do maximum damage with a pistol.
Most pistols are, of course 9mm, which is roughly 38 caliber, a very, very common round all over the US.
Then you have the 40 cal, which I have owned and it is a VERY good round in terms of accuracy, distance and stopping power.

He was a Major, not a lowly GI but his rank/rate doesnt matter, since most weapons are legal for personal use in Texas.

I'm not sure if it is a strange choice. The standard magazine capacity for a Five seveN is 20 rounds. (According to this article, mag extensions are available, bringing the capacity to 30 rounds . Meaning in one reload, 60 rounds can be fired) If he was going max casualties (not necessary deaths, but injuries as well), that pistol would be perfect.
One quote from wikipedia on the SS190 round:
"One of the design intents of the SS190 variant of this cartridge (not sporting variants) was that it have the ability to penetrate Kevlar protection vests such as the NATO CRISAT vest.[16] The SS190 variant is claimed to do this successfully at a range of 200 meters.[16" (Of course that distance is probobly with the p90)
