FN 5.7x28mm

Currently it's hard to find ammo for it cause it's so new, but non-AP civilian ammo is out there, civi-legal FN-57 pistols are available for under $800 with 10rd mags, and the AWB is on its way to expiring in September...
I'm sure with common 0.224" bullets and low powder measures it will become a favorite of handloaders and custom loading companies. I've thought the pistols would be nice for (not on) varmints, but what about a carbine? I'm sure we'll see ARs chambered for it, but I could picture recoil or gas operated carbines chambered for it become very popular for varmint hunting and pest control.

So would you guys go for something like this?
