| Source measurement | The UMP can be converted between 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP by changing the barrel, bolt, and magazine. Although it was previously available in all three calibres, a decline in global use of .40 S&W and .45 ACP has resulted in only the 9mm Parabellum variant remaining in production. However, parts are still available for the .40 S&W and .45 ACP variants.[source]Heckler & Koch UMP · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The UMP was originally designed for larger cartridges such as the .40 S&W and .45 ACP , to provide more stopping power against unarmoured targets, with slightly lower effectiveness at longer ranges. A larger cartridge produces more recoil and makes it harder to control in fully automatic fire. To mitigate the excessive recoil, Heckler & Koch designed the UMP to have a cyclic rate of around 600 rounds per minute, though the rate of fire increases up to 700 rounds per minute if (+ P) ammunition is used for the UMP45 and 745 rounds per minute for the UMP40.[source]Heckler & Koch UMP · Design details; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The UMP9 (the 9×19mm variant of the UMP) is almost 0.2 kg (0.44 lb) lighter than the MP5. It has a cyclic rate of around 600–750 rounds per minute. Its predominantly polymer construction reduces both its weight and the number of parts susceptible to corrosion.[source]Heckler & Koch UMP · Design details; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The UMP9 , chambered in 9×19mm Parabellum[source]Heckler & Koch UMP · Variants; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Heckler & Koch USC or Universal Self-loading Carbine is a semi-automatic-only variant of the UMP designed for civilian use. It was created following the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 in the United States and was introduced in 2000. Changes from the original UMP include a "thumbhole" type stock/grip instead of the pistol grip of the UMP, a longer barrel without the flash suppressor, a magazine limited to 10 rounds, and a semi-automatic-only trigger group and action. Originally available in grey, as of 2008 the USC came only in an all-black finish.[source]Heckler & Koch UMP · Variants / USC; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
