released 1991... it's an almost 30 year old design. i remember first seeing the gun in the n64 game goldeneye. it looks like a close-range gun because it is (though they do make a longer-barrel version). however, it's for armored military targets. a 9mm round would be more effective against killing unarmored targets and has a longer range it's a pretty interesting gun though, not necessarily because of the bullpup design, but because of the type of round it shoots. the 5.7 round is pretty unique - it's small but ultra high velocity and was designed to penetrate light body armor but is not very good at killing. anyway, it's unlikely someone would use one of these to shoot up a school or whatever.... they are really expensive (and the ammo is also very expensive and rare). as far as a vegas style shooting, the 5.7 round isn't long range because of its small size - it's seriously a tiny bullet. moreover, i'm pretty sure the fn five-seven (basically the complementary pistol) is illegal to carry in most places because of the armor pen - cops don't like them
