About 4.6×30 Ammunition
The 4.6x30mm cartridge was developed by Heckler & Koch for use in personal defense weapons, specifically the MP7. It was designed as a high-velocity, armor-piercing round with low recoil, offering excellent performance in close-quarter situations. The 4.6x30mm provides a flat trajectory and high penetration, making it suitable for military and law enforcement applications.
Types of 4.6×30 Loadings
- Full Metal Jacket (FMJ): Like the name suggests, these types of loadings feature projectiles which are adorned with metal jacketing. This jacket is generally made of copper and will cover the tip and sides of the projectile. Typically, the base of the projectile is left uncoated.These types of loadings are well-suited for range use and are some of the most common types of ammo one will encounter.
- Jacketed Soft Point (JSP): JSP loadings feature projectiles with a soft lead tip exposed, which promotes expansion on impact. The jacket improves penetration, making these suitable for hunting applications.
