The full metal jacket soft core cartridge is the world’s first load in 4.6x30 calibre. It was developed by RWS GmbH in close cooperation with the German firearms manufacturer Heckler & Koch. It is perfectly engineered for the polygon barrel used in the manufacturer’s MP7 personal defence weapon to ensure flawless functionality, even with fully automatic fire. The cartridge is equally suited to tactical use and training. Its bullet has a lead core that is completely encased in a tombac-plated steel jacket.
