The '''Heckler & Koch UMP''' (''Universale Maschinenpistole'', German for "Universal Machine Pistol") is a [[submachine gun]] developed and manufactured by [[Heckler & Koch]]. Heckler & Koch developed the UMP as a lighter and cheaper successor to the [[Heckler & Koch MP5|MP5]], though both remain in production.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.heckler-koch.com/HKWebText/detailProd/1926/82/4/20 |title=Heckler & Koch – Group Website |publisher=Heckler-koch.com |access-date=2009-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090527112537/http://www.heckler-koch.com/HKWebText/detailProd/1926/82/4/20 |archive-date=2009-05-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The UMP has been adopted for use by various countries, including Brazil, Canada, and the United States. Some of the weapons saw limited service in the early years of the [[Iraqi insurgency (2003–2011)|Iraqi insurgency]], making them one of the more popular submachine guns being deployed by the [[U.S. military]] personnel in recent conflicts around the world.

The UMP can be converted from 9×19mm Parabellum, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP by changing the barrel, bolt, and magazine. The UMP was previously available in multiple calibres, however with a decline in global use of .40 S&W and .45 ACP, only the 9mm Parabellum variant is in production. Parts are still available for the .40 S&W and .45 ACP calibre variants.<ref name="UMP9"/>

== History ==
The UMP was designed in the 1990s by Heckler & Koch (HK), as a cheaper, lighter alternative to the MP5,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Roller-Delayed Revival: The Heckler & Koch SP5K|url=https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2017/4/26/roller-delayed-revival-the-heckler-koch-sp5k|access-date=2021-04-04|website=American Rifleman|language=en}}</ref> which made heavy use of polymers.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Mizokami|first=Kyle|date=2018-07-23|title=Behold: The 5 Best Pistol Caliber Carbines (PCCs) on the Planet (Heckler & Koch is 1 of Them)|url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/behold-5-best-pistol-caliber-carbines-pccs-planet-heckler-koch-1-them-26521|access-date=2021-04-04|website=The National Interest|language=en}}</ref> The UMP first entered production in 2000.<ref name="UMP9"/> It was designed primarily for use by American military and law enforcement units,<ref>{{Cite web|title=UMP9|url=https://hk-usa.com/hk-models/ump45/|access-date=2021-04-04|website=HK USA|language=en-US}}</ref> as the MP5 was not available in .45 ACP, a round which was popular in the United States, but not in Europe.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=McCollum|first=Ian|date=2020-03-06|title=H&K UMP: An H&K SMG Made for .40 and .45|url=https://www.forgottenweapons.com/hk-ump-an-hk-smg-made-for-40-and-45/|access-date=2021-04-04|website=Forgotten Weapons|language=en-US}}</ref> Despite the UMP's improvements and reduced cost, it did not replace the MP5, which ended up outselling the UMP.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Gao|first=Charlie|date=2019-11-14|title=Forget Stealth and Missiles: Meet the Russian Army's Greatest Guns (All in One List)|url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/forget-stealth-and-missiles-meet-russian-armys-greatest-guns-all-one-list-95796|access-date=2021-04-04|website=The National Interest|language=en}}</ref>

===Recall===
In 2000, H&K recalled certain UMP and USC serial numbers due to faulty operating handles. The faulty handles, made of polymer, could break off, making the weapons inoperable.<ref>{{cite news|title=HK Recalls Firearms|work=Shooting Industry|date=April 2000|page=10|location=General OneFile}}</ref>

==Design details==
The UMP is a [[Blowback operation|blowback-operated]], [[Magazine (firearms)|magazine-fed]] submachine gun that fires from a [[closed bolt]].<ref name="Cutshaw2011">{{cite book|last=Cutshaw|first=Charles Q|title=Tactical Small Arms of the 21st Century: A Complete Guide to Small Arms From Around the World|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=55szjc6g520C&pg=PA156|access-date=8 August 2013|year=2011|publisher=Gun Digest Books|location=Iola, Wisconsin|isbn=978-1-4402-2709-7|page=156|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160611005358/https://books.google.com/books?id=55szjc6g520C&pg=PA156|archive-date=11 June 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> The closed bolt design increases the accuracy, which is particularly desirable in a law enforcement context.<ref name=":0" /> However, the simple blowback design of the UMP makes it less controllable than the MP5.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Gao|first=Charlie|date=2018-12-08|title=Introducing the 5 Worst Guns from Germany|url=https://nationalinterest.org/blog/buzz/introducing-5-worst-guns-germany-38227|access-date=2021-04-04|website=The National Interest|language=en}}</ref>

The UMP was originally designed for larger [[Cartridge (firearms)|cartridge]]s 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 [[Automatic firearm|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 [[.45 ACP#Plus P|(+ P)]] ammunition is used.<ref name="UMP40 and UMP45">{{Cite web|url=http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/FIREARMS/hk_ump40.pdf|title=HK UMP40 and UMP45 Manual|last=Manual|first=HK UMP|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180516223528/http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/FIREARMS/hk_ump40.pdf|archive-date=2018-05-16|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Cutshaw2011"/>

The UMP9 (the 9×19mm variant of the UMP) is almost {{convert|0.2|kg|lb}} lighter than the MP5. It has a cyclic rate of around 600–750 rounds per minute.<ref name="UMP9">{{Cite web |title=Heckler & Koch UMP - Info Sheet |url=https://hk-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/UMP-Info-Sheet.pdf |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221224012044/https://hk-usa.com/wp-content/uploads/UMP-Info-Sheet.pdf |archive-date=2022-12-24 |access-date=2023-08-18 |website=Heckler & Koch USA}}</ref> Its predominantly [[polymer]] construction reduces both its weight and the number of parts susceptible to corrosion.<ref name="Cutshaw2011" /><ref name="Dockery2007">{{cite book|last=Dockery|first=Kevin|author-link=Kevin Dockery (author)|title=Future Weapons|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_BJgKhwD2o4C&pg=PT383|access-date=8 August 2013|year=2007|publisher=Penguin Group US|location=New York|isbn=978-1-101-20618-8|pages=383–385|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160506050529/https://books.google.com/books?id=_BJgKhwD2o4C&pg=PT383|archive-date=6 May 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>

The UMP is available in four trigger group configurations, featuring different combinations of [[Semi-automatic firearm|semi-automatic]], 2-round burst, fully automatic, and [[Safety (firearms)|safe]] settings. It features a side-folding [[Stock (firearm)|buttstock]] to reduce its length during transport. When the last round of the UMP is fired, the bolt locks open, and can be released via a catch on the left side. The iron sights consist of an [[Iron sights#Aperture sights|aperture]] rear sight and a front ring with a vertical post. It can mount four [[Picatinny rail]]s (one on top of the [[Receiver (firearms)|receiver]], and one on the right, left, and bottom of the [[Forearm (firearm component)|handguard]]) for mounting accessories such as optical sights, [[tactical light]]s, or [[Laser applications#Laser sight|laser sights]]. [[Vertical forward grip|Vertical foregrips]] can be attached to the bottom rail for better control during burst and automatic fire.<ref name="Cutshaw2011"/>

== Variants ==
[[File:II Warsztaty Militarne WAT (01).jpg|thumb|UMP9 (top) and MP5 E6 (bottom) on display at [[Military University of Technology]]]]

The UMP is interchangeable between three different calibres:

The '''UMP9''', chambered in [[9×19mm Parabellum]]

The '''UMP40''', chambered in [[.40 S&W]]

The '''UMP45''', chambered in [[.45 ACP]]

Apart from the different chambering, all versions feature the same design model, the exterior differences being the curved magazine used on the UMP9, while both the UMP40 and UMP45 each use a straight magazine. All three versions of the weapon can be cross-converted to any of the round chamberings by replacing the [[Bolt (firearm)|bolt]], [[Gun barrel|barrel]], and magazine.<ref name=Cutshaw2011/><ref name=Dockery2007/>

The '''USC''' or '''Universal Self-loading Carbine''' is a semi-automatic-only variant of the UMP designed for civilian use. It was created following the [[Federal assault weapons ban|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.<ref name=Peterson2011>
