The Kel-Tec PR57 is a semi automatic pistol manufactured by Kel-Tec. The weapon is chambered in the FN 5.7x28mm round, uses a rotating barrel locking operation and most unusually, uses an internal magazine fed from stripper clips (similar to the Steyr M1912 and the Grendel P10 .380). ^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}
