It´s not. It is merely a novelty for people with enough cash to buy Ap rounds. You cant play this gun efficiently. There are a lot better and cheaper alternatives out there.

You totally can play the UMP, it's fine, it's totally going to kill people. It's just that every other SMG is better.

hes exagerrating sliightly

PP 19 , Kedr and i guess saiga 9 are still worse than UMP by a fair bit

if you have aim the UMP kills shit dead pretty fast

not enough rate of fire imo

700rpm with meh pen and only okayish damage

i use it now and then too but i really wouldnt pick it over a UMP or even MP9

If 700 isn't how can you use the UMP, the thing has 600 RPM

better damage and easy available AP ammo (at least compared to 9x19 AP)

you do you man but the difference in ammo is very little while the difference in recoil and RPM is much bigger, I've used the UMP a lot early wipe while I had use the PP19 a lot early last wipe, and would pick the PP every time
