The 4.6x30mm (sometimes called HK 4.6x30mm) is a personal defense weapon cartridge developed by Heckler & Koch. It is one of the three armor-piercing rounds of the game, characterized by relatively low base power but low drop of performance as the target armor class increases. It is considered a low-tier caliber.

Real-life data

Developed by Heckler & Koch alongside the weapons it was conceived for, the 4.6x30mm is an innovative caliber, developed for SMG-sized weapons for crews and personnel who can't use an assault or carbine rifle, yet need better firepower than that provided by submachine guns. It was developed in response to NATO's demand for creation of a personal defense weapon class of firearm.

Made entirely of penetrating steel, this caliber was conceived to pierce through body armor with better efficiency than standard pistol cartridges. Developed in 1999 and put in service in 2001, this caliber was introduced alongside two weapons exclusively using this caliber, the H&K MP7 personal defense weapon, and the now-cancelled H&K UCP handgun.

This is a direct competitor to Fabrique Nationale's 5.7x28mm, which likewise responded to NATO's demand by creating their own PDW caliber and weapons.

-As one of the naturally armor-piercing calibers of the game, 4.6x30mm has the property of having a flatter damage curve than other calibers of comparable power.

-This property is an undeniable positive point; 4.6x30mm will punch through up to Kevlar-2 resistance with the same efficiency - notable drops in performance only begin once the target has Kevlar-3 and better armor class. However, it is definitely not an offensive cartridge and is better used as a finisher or defensively.

Fit for only one weapon in Mazeworld: the [[Heckler ＆ Koch MP7A1]], it can only be found at random in the [[Room|rooms]], or bought in a [[Gun shop|gun shop]] or a [[Weapon shop|weapon shop]] if they have this weapon in stock.
