When browsing through Midway's ammo section I noticed that they had 4.6x30mm. Why are they selling this? Are there even guns in the U.S. that will fire the round? Surely the market must be very small.

Isn't that the round for the MP-7? I seriously doubt H&K would sell that gun to the general public. I'd think that round would of been more tightly controlled than the 5.7 because it goes through both sides of a vest.

was the UCP ever put in production or was that just a concept?

Yup that's the round for the MP7.

Maybe its for LEO sales...or people with very deep pockets and good connections.

I wonder what you could rechamber to make this cartidge work. .32ACP? I have no idea and don't feel like looking the specs up now. It would be nice to own an MP7 but other than that I don't think there are any firearms that use this round.

It might make a decent varmint round, pretty much just a more powerful .17HMR.

As far as I know the UCP never went into production.

The HK G11 chambered that round. Its a form of caseless ammuntion if I remember right

The G11 uses a 4.7mm projectile stuck in a block of propellant with a primer molded into it's aft end.

The 4.6x30 is a traditional cartridge consisting of case, primer, powder and projectile.

4.6x30mm | 5.7x28mm | .30 Carbine

The weapon can be bought as a semi-auto in Canada, I think. So, for international shipping?

There are some MP7s floating around - dealer samples and department guns. Major Malfunction had one that he let me play with at the silencer shoot in '08.
