Usage & Tactics
The UMP45 overall has a high damage output for an SMG, rivaling the AKS-74U and the M4 in this regard. This gives the UMP above average performance at longer ranges for its class. In order to be effective at long ranges, You should Tap Fire (fire intentional short bursts on automatic guns) to increase the weapon's hit chance and conserve ammunition. This is especially important for the UMP-45, as it has below average rate of fire and magazine size. Therefore, efficient use of the ammunition is crucial, meaning it is somewhat less viable to spray to longer ranges. However, the weapon's low recoil balances the need for accuracy, as it is easier to land shots with a weapon with minimal kick. While it does higher damage at range than other weapons in its class, the UMP45's slow fire-rate makes it non-ideal alternative to range-centric weapons. The SMG's range is average, with the damage drop-off beginning at 575 studs, although due to the higher damage the weapon can remain effective out to a fair distance. This makes its Time-To-Kill at longer ranges worse.
