What is 4.6x30 ammo?

The 4.6x30mm cartridge is a small caliber, high velocity ammunition primarily used in the Heckler & Koch MP7 submachine gun and the HK UCP pistol. It was designed specifically for close quarters combat and personal defense applications, offering superior armor penetration and stopping power compared to traditional pistol calibers.

The 4.6x30mm cartridge features a bottlenecked design with a small caliber projectile (approximately 4.6mm in diameter) and a high velocity of around 2,400 feet per second. This combination results in impressive terminal ballistics, making it a popular choice among military and law enforcement agencies for use in various missions and operations.

Due to its specialized design and usage, 4.6x30mm ammunition may not be as widely available or commonly used as other more standard calibers. However, it is highly effective in its intended applications and offers users a compact, lightweight, and powerful ammunition option.
