Yep, 5.7x28mm. Its very very similar to 5.7mm Johnson

5.7mm Johnson

the SS190 will go through a PASGT helmet at 200 M. It also penetrates 
48 Layers of Kevlar at that range as well.

715 m/s or 2345.9 ft/sec.

And FN makes a pistol that shoots the same cartridge, the FN Five-SeveN.

For a while one could buy M1 Carbines in 5.7mm Johnson.
