MP5K or UMP45? Comment to decide!

We have seen the great success of the DE vs Beretta post and we wanted to do that again.
There is another comparison between two very popular weapons that must be made. When using the SR-8 i found myself choosing a secondary weapon, usually the MP5K, but I’ve seen lot of other players choosing the UMP45. So why are they choosing the UMP45? And why I’m choosing the MP5K as many others are doing?
I might have done another post by asking the good old players that did the first comparisons.. but then I saw all your comments and I decided to make you write the post!

Comment down below and tell us which is your favourite between MP5K and UMP45 and why.

Your comments will go into a post that will be published on monday that will tell us which is your favourite.

So come on players! It’s time to decide which is the best secondary weapon! (besides the SPAS… because the SPAS rules. Period.)

    MP5, such a fast gun!

    I encourage you guys to give an explanation of about 2 or 3 sentences for your choice.
    This will help everybody that will read the post to have clear ideas on what to choose and why.

    I think the mp5 is a better weapon because it offers a faster rate of fire over the ump. Sometimes I’ll use a silencer with the mp5 which almost makes it equal to a primary weapon. Overall I think the mp5 just has better balance than the ump does.

  4. Jigsaw says:

    I think the ump is a better weapon as it has a lot more accuracy than the mp5 and hardly and recoil. Not to mention that it does 100% damage for a headshot (non helmet of course). Ump also seems to get a lot more headshots having basically no recoil.

  5. [sDi]Lebbra! says:

    It depends, as usual from your gears kit and from the map.

    Maps:
    when you play in a small and crowded map, mp5 is to prefer because of its amazing fire rate that allows to kill 2 (and occasionally 3) opponents with the same magazine, spamming at their heads.
    When the opposite teams has 2 or 3 players only, UMP (having a better precision them mp5) can be used like it was a DE with more ammos.

    Gears:
    with a slow rate weapon (H&K, SR8 or AK) I usually join a mp5 and DE to balance
    with PSG1 I always use UMP and Beretta
    with other auto weapons (LR, M4, G36) a secondary is almost useless, because it is very hard to use 90 bullets in a round.

    P.S.:Never use UMP and DE or mp5 and Beretta because they have the same function.

    I almost never use secondary weapon but when I took one, I’m more for MP5K

  7. GingerbreadMan says:

    It really depends. First I’d like to point out some common misconceptions about each gun. The UMP, while it has very little recoil is very inaccurate when not used with a laser. Try shooting at a wall and watching where the bullets land (without a laser) and you’ll se what I mean. Try it now with a laser. Very accurate. The MP5 on the other hand, gets knocked for poor accuracy. Like the UMP (without a laser), it doesn’t have terrific accuracy, but the spread never becomes excessive.

    That being said, I usually don’t use secondaries. When I do, I find myself using the UMP when I have a laser and the MP5 when I don’t.

  8. Flamey says:

    I don’t use secondaries often but when I do I’ve noticed that the MP5 is the red-head stepchild. It doesn’t get much love but it can sure pack a punch. The insanely fast fire rate makes it a decent weapon and the accuracy isn’t bad for the fire rate. With that said I believe it can still be used mid-long range effectively it just wouldn’t be a fast killer. After all you’re using a secondary because your primary is a sniper rifle so you shouldn’t be long ranging with your secondary anyway.

  9. Freekill says:

    I prefer UMP for a few reasons:
    -1 hit to head
    -More controllable recoil imo
    -Better ammo efficiency (going “click click” is bad)
    -Lower rate of fire is balanced by damage

    The UMP kills fast enough at short range, and still performs well at mid range when you don’t have the chance to pull your SR-8 out. Anyway, you should be using controlled bursts for anything but extremely short range, so the lower rate of fire becomes something of a non-issue, or even a benefit.

  10. Anonymous Coward says:

    While I regularly use both guns, I would say the UMP is better. I does enough damage to allow you to kill a lot more people per clip than the MP5 does and it kills opponent without helmets with a single bullet to the head. The fire rate, while slow, is still fast enough to kill close adversaries almost as fast as with the MP5. The UMP’s accuracy is also way better, it will hit reliably at medium range and can be used at long range thanks to its very low recoil. The UMP can also be used in full auto for a long time and still be relatively accurate, this cannot be said of the MP5 that has horrible accuracy after 6 or 7 bullets.

    With that said, I usually don’t use a secondary, it’s easy to pick one up on the ground, and a silenced Beretta or a Desert Eagle is more than good enough to kill your opponent should you be using a sniper rifle as your primary. If you have an automatic as a primary, well, starting the round with a secondary is pretty much useless, as you can kill a lot of people with a clip from your auto and your pistol before having to reload, and one of your kills is bound to be carrying a secondary.

  11. Sirmimer says:

    Usaly never take a secondary weapon, but if i do i will take the mp5, simple because its way faster – And ump5 is somehow a bit unhit for me, think its because of its speed.

  12. I roll with an MP5 for a backup weapon when I’m SR8ing. It can mow down rushers very well with controlled spam. When I want to be more offensive I use the UMP as if it were a Baretta on steroids.

  13. Sil0x says:

    i usually take SPAS,
    but when i take auto, it’s mp5

  14. Tarquin says:

    The only advantage that the MP5 has over the UMP is a faster rate of fire. Everything else about it sucks. So if you are looking for some easy hits then go with the MP5. Otherwise, with aim, the UMP will give you a much easier time killing enemies.

  15. Azle says:

    Hi,

    I fully agree with Tarquin. The UMP is more efficient than the mp5 in general.

  16. M@3l` says:

    I prefer UMP45 because it has a better accuracy and a better power than mp5k. Use UMP45 !!! xD

  17. Flinn says:

    depends on the case
    smaller quarter maps, mp5k can be just as deadly as the ump, however ump is very accurate, low recoil, and good damage so. take ur pick

  18. UMP 45 blows its slow and usless ())—————> 0:

  20. Engine says:

    DailyNade should be updated daily. Unfortunatly due to differences of time in each country (if I post something at midnight here someone might read it when it’s afternoon) sometimes it might result in a post every two day. We did also multiple posts on one day. There isn’t a real rule. We slowed down a bit due to the launch of the new graphic.

  21. Mr. Dude says:

    I used to like the UMP45, and still use it as a secondary, but I’ve recently found myself liking MP5K only.

    The MP5K has the rate of fire to be an okay primary, IMO. Well, as long as you stick both a laser and silencer on it. Heheh.

    The UMP45 doesn’t have the rate of fire I like in a primary. Being a rusher, I need to put out lots of bullets, otherwise I get killed very easily.

    That said, the UMP45 is very accurate, which is good in maps like Uptown where there are lots of spots for snipers.

    I like close-quarters more, though, and the MP5K is the better of the two for that, I think.

    UMP is the most overpowered weapon in the game. It can be used as 2nd weapon and it’s only little bit worse than m4/lr300.
