As with the USP 45, and the MP5K, the UMP is a German weapon, manufactured by Heckler and Koch. It was designed in 1999, as a larger calibre counterpart to the MP5. It also uses modern polymers to save weight over the older HK designs. It fires the .45 ACP cartridge, at a cyclic rate lower than most submachine guns to counteract the increased recoil of the .45 calibre bullet. Iron sights are a rear notch and front hooded post type. In-game, the UMP is a powerful weapon that combines some of the best aspects from the Assault Rifle and SMG categories. Even at long range, the UMP will deal very high damage - enough for a 3 hit kill with or without stopping power. It's not as controllable at long range as some of the assault rifles, but with burst firing can still be very effective. Up-close the slower rate of fire means other SMGs will beat it, but with stopping power the UMP becomes a 2-hit kill within effective range, which can be very deadly against unsuspecting groups of enemies. For your blue perks, you're best using sleight of hand or scavenger, unless you need bling for the 'silenced-scope' approach. SMGs are quick to aim even without sleight of hand pro, but it will give you a slight advantage in a straight firefight - although you will need a good secondary to fall back on when you're out of ammo. Scavenger eliminates this issue, and scavenger pro will ensure you have plenty of ammunition for the UMP. This frees up your secondary slot for a launcher, such as the thumper or stinger. For your red perk I'd recommend stopping power if you're unsilenced - and plan to get close to the enemy - or cold-blooded if you're silenced. Stopping power isn't as effective as it is with some other guns, but you'll definitely notice the difference close
