To me the MP5 is easier to keep on target than the UMP. It may just be that I am used to the roller lock guns more or the extra weight makes them more stable... I dunno. The UMP is a direct blowback gun and maybe that makes it a little less accurate but the bolt isn't really heavy and doesn't rock the gun when firing like the heavy bolt in an open bolt SMG like a UZI so I think maybe it is just what I am used to. I would say that the 9mm UMP is easier to control than a 9mm M16 wich is also direct blowback. The M16 9mm usually runs faster though. I am not sure how they made the UMP run so slow with a direct blowback and such a short stroke and light weight. It really is an amazing machine. They made a submachine gun that weighs a couple pounds less than the mp5, costs less, and somehow runs slower. HK has wizards in their design team I think. I would love to have a UMP but would not give up a MP5 for one.

Although if Glock really did make a 1911, I would definitely be curious and hesitant. The two models are completely different and crossing into other territory can be disastrous.
