5.7 is known to be pretty terrible for its "stopping power" for lack of a better term. Its a handgun round design to penetrate body armor. In doing so it had to make sacrifices in bullet dimensions and weight. It performs similarly to a .22 magnum round which is a frankly wimpy cartridge meant for small game like rabbits.
So 20 rounds to stop a human isn't stretching the truth too much.
Sounds like the wrong gun to carry for personal defense
The post literally talks about a mugger, if you really have armed militas just attacking people you might want to get out of the congo
