Developed as a companion pistol to the P90, the Five-seveN shares many of its design features: it is a lightweight polymer-based weapon with a relatively large magazine capacity, ambidextrous controls, low recoil, and the ability to penetrate body armor when using certain cartridge types. The P90 was introduced in 1990, and the Five-seveN was introduced in 1998 as a pistol using the same 5.7×28mm ammunition. The Five-seveN pistol was developed in conjunction with the FN P90 personal defense weapon and the FN 5.7×28mm cartridge. The pistol is named for its 5.7×28mm (.224 in) bullet diameter, and the trademark capitalization style is intended to emphasize the manufacturer's initials- FN. The FN Five-seveN is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by FN Herstal in Belgium.

Material in this collection provides a wide range of advertisements targeted to individual demographics, as well as the average firearm consumer. At the conclusion of the war, firearm advertisements returned to sport and hunting themes. At the onset of the Second World War, advertisements for military grade firearms were predominant. During the late 19 th century, firearm advertisements were largely focused on hunters. Recurring themes included protection, sport, hunting, and military purposes. These advertisements often promoted firearms for specific demographics and functions. Increased technology, such as the rotary press and the use of flexography, helped to spread advertisements to previously untouched markets. Many commercial arms and ammunition companies found they could greatly increase their profits by placing pictorial ads in newspapers, catalogs, and magazines.
