The UMP may not be sleek or pleasing to the eye, perhaps it's downright ugly, but it is light for its' looks and shoots accurately, manageably and slowly (cyclic rate). It has a substantial bolt group in place of the locking rollers, is simple to take down and maintenance, has MP-5 like controls and a bolt catch/hold open feature is provided. The sighting system is different but had no substantial effect in my placing rounds where I wanted them, including 15M parietal band hits.

Next S. California opportunity for LEOs to examine or shoot the weapon may be at the San Diego Regional Training Center next week (HK ITD MP-5 Operator class).
