COMmand) pistol built for SEAL and Special Forces clandestine ops.

"What the hell do these things shoot?" I asked Evers.

"Four point six by thirty-millimeter rounds," he said.

I don't like peashooters, and 4.6 x 30 falls under that category. "What are the ballistics?"

"Fm not altogether sure," he said. "The bullet weight is 29 grains. From what the armorer told me, the muzzle velocity is just over twenty-three hundred feet per second." He paused. "Whatever that means."

What that meant was that the PDW was only a couple of hundred feet of velocity behind the current M4 carbine carried by most SpecOps troops. And the machine pistol in my hand weighed about one-third of what an M4 weighs. "Let's see the ammo."

The MI6 officer eased a trio of cardboard cartons from under the couch. "Take a look."

There was one carton labeled 115-grain NATO ball 9-mm, and two with no markings whatsoever except a stamp that read: made in the uk. I slit the first of the anonymous containers, pulled a box of cartridges out, and opened it up. The round was made of solid copper, with a classic hollowpoint tip. The second carton was filled with ball ammo: hardened copper-projectiles. The spec sheet said the ball ammo would penetrate a NATO-spec (trauma) plate at two hundred meters. That's impressive ballistics for such a tiny round.

I looked at Evers. "I guess shooting this is kind of like firing a twenty-two caliber on steroids, right?"

Robert Evers shrugged. "I wouldn't know," he said. "I've never fired a handgun in my life. My experience is limited to shotgunning at partridge and pheasant on the weekends."
