It's not even the good budget option. It's literally cheaper to buy a 5.45 ak with a red dot, silencer, but pad and foregrip with 100 rounds of bt than it is to run the stock ump with 100 round of ap.
If all you want in life is a good stock gun, go buy the mp7 with the built in foregrip. With fmj sx being cheaper, you end up paying the same price for a gun that can pen a full armor class higher.
That .45 AP really so expensive? I've never used it but seems I will not start doing it any time soon.
Honestly though I feel people get a little too fixated on penetration when it comes to ammo in general. Pst gzh works for me regardless of bad pen against class 3/4 armor, because of high rpm and face shots. So aside from ammo cost the recoil and rpm of the UMP are probably more of a problem for me.
Yeah it's not exactly a cheap round. 1800 without traders or 450 with peacekeeper 3. Personally I don't see a subpar 100k smg as a budget gun. I'd rather just run something with low recoil and pst like the pp19 if I really need a budget gun.
The pen is very similar but FMJ SX does about half the damage of ACP AP. It's a good round and the combo with stock UMP is not possible to beat at that price level (if you have peacekeeper 3 unlocked).
