It was going to be the British entry, to be evaluated alongside the Belgian FN 5.7×28mm and the German HK 4.6×30mm armor-piercing cartridges. The solicitation would also seek to find, test and standardize a PDW cartridge capable of, at the minimum, defeating the Collaborative Research Into Small Arms Technology (CRISAT) body armour of the time.http://www.civil-defence.org/products/ballistics/boz224/boz224.html https://web.archive.org/web/20050404115225/http://www.civil-defence.org/products/ballistics/boz224/boz224.html 2005-04-04 .224 BOZ Ammunition and Weapons Programme Civil Defense Supply 10 October 2013 dead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9MJUmdQ4ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9MJUmdQ4o NATO PDW Trials: The Forbidden Saga of "MP7 vs P90" [ Collab with Oxide ] YouTube Design The .224 Boz began as a 10mm Auto case necked down to .223 in mm.

The .22 TCM takes advantage of this same concept in its sub-variant, the .22 TCM 9R. See also .22 TCM .22 Spitfire HK 4.6×30mm 5.7×28mm Table of handgun and rifle cartridges References 224 Boz 224 Boz
