Design emphasis of modern assault rifle design orientates to the requirements of infantry application. However, in a modern army only 20% of the total number of soldiers are employed in infantry applicable missions. As a consequence, the NATO Panel V defined demands as to a new Personal Defence Weapon, the features of which should provide the user with superiority in close combat and medium range firefight situations. Based on this list of demands, Heckler & Koch started a thinking process, together with Royal Ordnance, Radway Green, U.K., as a partner on the ammunition side.

The outcome could without doubt be designated a step forward in small arms technology. A new multi-role Personal Defence Weapon in a new caliber has been created, the Heckler & Koch PDW in 4.6mm x 30. In relation to the PDW, multi-role must be understood in its purest sense: The PDW is a perfect three-in-one solution. Thanks to the firepower of a submachine gun, medium range capabilities of an assault rifle and pistol-like close combat dimensions.

Because of the low weight, small dimensions and less than half of the recoil of a normal 9mm x 19 submachine gun, the Heckler & Koch PDW has the handling features of a .22 weapon. It is extremely easy to operate and control and - due to the low recoil impulse of the ammunition - very steady during burst fire, with a firing rate of 950 rds./min..

The Heckler & Koch PDW and its new ammo formed a combination that exceeded all NATO demands. The ratio of ballistic power and recoil achieved by the PDW and the new 4.6mm x 30 ammo is impressive and sets new standards in the world of handguns.

Features include:
+ Fiat bullet trajectory
+ High energy transfer into the target
+ Full penetration of the CRISAT-protection (1.6 mm Titanium combined with 20 layers of Kevlar) at the distance of 200 m, which is four times more than the NATO requirements call for

All the above make the Heckler & Koch PDW System what it is - The optimum choice for military and law enforcement and in close combat and mid-range personal defence situations.

Available ammunition:
1. Armour Piercing
2. Armour Piercing (with Tracer)
3. Full Metal Jacket
4. Blank
5. Frangible
6. Deformation
7. Inert
