A [[submachine gun]] first manufactured by German arms company [[Heckler & Koch]] in 1999. Its name, [i]Universale Maschinenpistole[/i], means "Universal Machine Pistol".

A slab-sided weapon, lighter but bulkier in comparison to the [[H&K MP5]] it was designed to supplant, the UMP is equipped with Picatinny accessory rails, a skeletonized folding buttstock, and is available in three calibers: 9mm (H&K UMP9, distinguishable by its curved box magazine), .40 S&W (H&K UMP40), and .45 ACP (H&K UMP45). Both the UMP and MP5 remain in production.
