Five-Seven
Fabrique Nationale Five-Seven
The FN Five-Seven is the new CT-only pistol. The Five-Seven holds 20 rounds in each clip, and costs $750, $100 more than the Desert Eagle, $250 more than the default USP, and $350 more than the Terrorist's default Glock.

The Five-Seven is extremely accurate. It has a noticeably smaller crosshair than all the other handguns. In our short tests, we found that the Five-Seven's first few shots are fairly accurate, but the spread in the rapid fire tests were similar to those of the other handguns. In our damage tests, we found that a shot to the chest of an armored opponent took off 12-14 health and 2-3 armor. An unarmored opponent took about 20 damage.
In comparison, the CT default USP had an average of 15 health and 8 armor for the same chest shot on an armored opponent. An unarmored opponent takes an impressive 30-34 damage per chest shot. Of course, the USP only has a 12-round clip.

The Terrorist default Glock (20-round clip) performed horribly with a 10/4 (health/armor) average damage ratio. Damage to an opponent without armor sat in the 14-22 range with an 18 average.
The 7-round clip Desert Eagle had a whopping 39/7 average damage ratio. Expect this hand cannon to do about 55 points of damage to anyone who left his Kevlar at home.

The Sig P-228 (13-round clip) stepped up with a 20/6 health/armor ratio, and the Sig does about 33 points of damage against unarmored opponents.
The Terrorist's dual Beretta's clocked in with a 12/6 average and a wide 22-28 damage range for unarmored chest shots, but we have to note that the Beretta's weren't as accurate as the other handguns.

Even though the Five-Seven has the smallest crosshair and offers a healthy 20-round clip, we're not really impressed with the gun. It simply doesn't do enough damage. Oh well, at least it sounds pretty cool.
