Well, I first fired one about seven years ago, and have shot them periodically since then. The weapon design prevents much flexibility for rail mounted devices.
The anemic round is the real problem though. It will penetrate light body armor, but not hard armor, nor does it do very much terminally when it does. The round creates a very small narrow wound channel reminiscent of an icepick injury.
I believe that the 5.7 rounds are inferior to a good .22LR in the terminal ballistics arena.
Lots of fun for punching paper and having fun though.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." - President Theodore Roosevelt, 1910
