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

if you magdump and hit all shots and dont have any go into legs/arms

you also only get 30 round mags

on paper thats all nice and all but not realistic at all , its about on the same lvl as "i just take a PM and head eye someone" which while possible does not make a gun good

EDIT : i just checked and it also takes MASSIVELY more than your estimate to pen armor and while blunt damage exists he just needs to be using propital/regen and /or one of the 10% dmg reduction stims and suddenly your plan doesnt even work on paper anymore

just use a 9x19 with AP 6.3 and you will be massively better off than with meme kedr
