Plus does anyone know of a good Supressor capable flash supressor for the SCAR-16 and 17?
The Five-SeveN is unimpressive, IMHO. Accurate, but nothing special

The guy who owns the rifles served in Aden, Yemen, london and Northern Ireland. Having talked shop with him, he stresses hit placement over caliber. Thus a Five-seveN pistol with it's flat trajectory and as you put it accuracy fits his phylosophy and training.

Here is the most informative thread I've seen about the FiveseveN. It's as good as 9mm if not better: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=611628

The FiveSeven is just an expensive gun to own. At first the 20 round mag and even 30 rounds does sound impressive but for a civilian, it's just too expensive to have. Any 9mm would do
