The UMP (Universal Machinen-Pistole + Universal Submachine Gun) had been developed by the Heckler & Koch company of Germany in the mid to late 1990s and first appeared on the markets in 1999. THe key idea behind the UMP was to create a lightweight and powerful submachine gun, that also will be cheaper than one of the H&K's flagships, the MP5. UMP, being targeted primary for USA law enforcement market, first appeared in .45ACP, and .40SW chamberings, and later, in 9mm.
The UMP is a blowback-operated select-fire submachine gun, being fired from the closed bolt. The receiver is made from the polymer, the controls are fully ambidextrous. The UMP can be fired in full-auto, in single shots, and 2 or 3 round bursts (optional). UMP also has a bolt hold-open device, which traps the bolt in the open position when the last round from the magazine has been fired. The UMP has side-folding buttstock and two sets of picatinny rails - one on the top of the receiver, and the other - on the forend. These rails can accept a wide variety of sighting and other equipment, such as red-dot sights, laser pointers, tactical grips and flashlights. The barrel has quick mounts for snap-on silencers.
