Sorry for the late reply.
4.6x36mm was an experimental cartridge developed between Spain and Germany (Heckler and Koch) 1964-68.  It was for the experimental H&K 36 assault rifle which was never adopted.  Various cartridges were made.
The "Spoon Tip" was designed by a Doctor/ Engineer Voss.  Its a boat tailed bullet with a lead core and copper jacket.  (Original ones had Tungsten core with lead point filler)  The bullet tip is beveled, causing it to tip and yaw upon impact.
Information from Jean Huon book "Military Rifle and Machinegun Cartridges" (American version).
