The UMP45, short for Universal Machine pistol, is a submachine gun designed by Heckler & Koch. The UMP45 is the successor to the MP5, though both are in service to this day. The weapon uses .45 ACP, similarly to the Thompson and the P1911. Widely adopted by police and governmental agencies, with wide adoption specifically amongst the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, it also sees popularity with players as an well-rounded, balanced SMG with manageable recoil and decent firepower.
Summary[]
The UMP45 deals the second highest damage amongst SMGs, right behind the Tommy Gun, making it a very viable late-stage gun when fitted out with attachments. Its already controllable recoil can be reduced even further with a foregrip and compensator, although stealthy players may opt for a suppressor instead since it already has minimal recoil to begin with. Adding a 3x or 4x scope can further increase the weapon's long-range capability.
