This gave me pause:

"The 5.7×28mm SS190 has a muzzle velocity of roughly 716 m/s (2,350 ft/s, Mach 2) and can penetrate the NATO CRISAT vest or a Level IIIA Kevlar vest at a range of 200m"

I'm not sure what's scary there. It's got a low velocity for a lightweight round and penetrates light armor. As a trade off it doesn't have great terminal performance against people.
