4.6×30mm Drop Chart

The HK MP7's PDW round — a tiny, fast 40-grain bullet. Civilian ammo is sparse (Fiocchi) and no barrel-length data is published, so this is the maker's advertised figure — confirm at the range.

Barrel

Rimfire velocity peaks around 16–20″ and then flattens, so barrel length barely changes the chart.

Stays supersonic to roughly 200 yards — past that the bullet goes transonic and groups usually open up.

Estimate — confirm at the range. These figures are computed for the selected load and zero at sea level. Your real drop depends on your exact ammo and lot, altitude, temperature, and conditions. Use this to get in the ballpark and to pick the right optic — then verify your actual holdovers on paper or steel before you trust them.

What this means for your optic

By the time you're holding several MOA or MIL of holdover, a plain dot stops being enough. That's where a reticle with marked holds (a BDC or MIL/MOA grid), an exposed turret you can dial, and a first-focal-plane scope earn their keep. Pick a rifle below to see the optics that fit it — and how they mount.
